[Doggygirl]

I have to switch to the youtube version because watch2gether is skipping. Is the 1st team getting scores now?

Yes

They just got them. Second team starting.

Truly, what skater embodies the spirit of Metallica more than Rand?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I can't believe this is the dress for Metallica. I mean, it's a lovely dress for a tango or something. But for METALLICA? Where are the VOIDS? Scary Babs would be ashamed.

 

[Jeschke]

Rand looks so so Baby. So much.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

For all the talk about Soucisse/Firus looking like mother-son dance, they have nothing on these two. What a baby face!

Which made that lift a little something odd.

 

[Doggygirl]

OK - what current team would you love to see skate an FD to Metallica?

 

[ChelleC]

If I were watching this without sound I would never imagine the music is Metallica.

 

[Hanna]

In what world do these costumes say Metallica?

 

[Jeschke]

2010 we had lady, pair and dance team at olympics.
Must have been their prime.

 

[Amy L]

The straightforward unassuming/unironic program to Metallica in a classy ballroom dress is just.... very OES and not at all OES at the same time!

 

[Colonel Green]

For all the talk about Soucisse/Firus looking like mother-son dance, they have nothing on these two. What a baby face!

He looks a bit like he could be Kolyada's dorky cousin.

an AU one?

Hanna'06 is back

They'll be hitting their new prime in NO TIME! We just need to find them a pair!

Hanna'06 is back

Oh shush. The thing is, Hanna'06 seemed to have no sense of humor - that black-and-white world of teenagers. I like to think that by now I've developed a bit of a sense of sarcasm. I hope.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ah, the deeply authentic hard rock vibe to this program. It has all the expression of 2017 Boyang Jin.

That's almost an insult to 2017 Boyang Jin.

Selevko, Naurits, Gerli and Kiibus for team event
@alchemy void might go mental fangirling #teamestonia

Dance team is missing too, huh?

Rink music

The mid/early 00's had so much promise for as a OES powerhouse. Taavi's brother Kristian had tons of potential but unfortunately his partner (they won a World Juniors silver!) had to quit due to injury and he never ended up in a better partnership.

Grethe Grünberg and Kristian Rand 2007 Junior Worlds FD

The free dance that secured them the second place at the 2007 Junior Worlds in Obersdorf

youtu.be

Now I'm waiting for the Selevkos and Petrokina to Make Estonia Great Again!

 

[Colonel Green]

For those who don't remember, these two qualified to the Olympics because Rand's brother was also an ice dancer with an American partner who didn't have Estonian citizenship, and so they qualified a spot that this team was able to use instead.

 

[Jeschke]

How the hell did they qualify? Seriously!

Well, I like the junior team that did Crack of Doom at the gala at Junior Worlds just 2 weeks ago (Netjaga/Gaidajenko). But the truth is that they're gonna have to develop their tech a little bit.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Nick should have tried harder. If he grew his hair another inch, they'd have the same cut.

 

[Jeschke]

Sarabande Suite

 

[Hanna]

Really liked the first third of Penny/Nick! Also awesome sl lift (or was that the curve lift, hard to tell from the angle).

 

[Colonel Green]

Vancouver was the most recently Olympics where the once-mighty Brits had two dance spots. Will Lilah & Lewis get that second spot back for Beijing (and will another team be able to fulfill the new qualification criteria)?

Delusion is all that matters.
Realistically there is only one spot left open for the team event. So I am totally on board with
But I guess or might have the better cards in the end!

Might depend on if BabyBuckland finally realizing that Tweedale is holding him back

 

[Doggygirl]

Coomes/Buckland - those lifts! Dear Santa, I want 2010Buckland to be my Cabana Boy. Pretty please?????
