FSU Watch Party Sunday #2: 2010 Olympics FD [3pm CDT/9pm CET]

[casken]

90% of the Italians FD was skated in hand to hand hold. But whatever I guess.

 

[Hanna]

I already know Faiella/Pasta have the best FD of the final group.

 

[Amy L]

Weren't Federica and AnnaCap coaching someone together this season? That is pure Italian heaven.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Their world bronze with this FD was definitely a feel good moment, but it also felt like a retirement gift. It was confusing when they briefly decided to continue.

 

[MsZem]

By the way, it's been AGES since I've seen you in a comp! Budapest 2014, maybe? What gives?

All the GPFs were scheduled when I had teaching commitments I was supposed to go to 2016 Euros but something came up, sadly.

 

[Jeschke]

The times without a tracker...oh the suspense.

 

[Colonel Green]

It really started in the middle of the 2009/10 season after the Cup of China where Charlie fell at least 3 times. I don't think he's fallen ever since.

How soon we forget 2010 Skate America. That was a real ice dance event in general.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I already know Faiella/Pasta have the best FD of the final group.

I also really liked their Manolete program even if I'm not sure they ever skated it to its potential.

 

[skatingguy]

Faiella & Scali practicing social distancing in the middle of a free dance - how precedent.

 

[Hanna]

All the GPFs were scheduled when I had teaching commitments I was supposed to go to 2016 Euros but something came up, sadly.

Well how about something next season?

 

[Jeschke]

I think I haven't seen this program since 2010 and I am so happy nothing has changed for me

 

[skatingguy]

How soon we forget 2010 Skate America. That was a real ice dance event in general.

Yeah, I have no memory of the 2010 Skate America.

 

[caseyedwards]

And that was my lord and savior LaKhokh!

Also kind of done dirty by circumstances. Novitski had a head injury and couldn't skate anymore, and the only "decent" partner she could find was new-to-dance freaking Fedor Neoptism Andreev.

Fascinating because Shabalin couldn’t really skate anymore either but clearly with the world title d/s the right team to support

 

[skipaway]

That was lovely. I know after 2006, that must have been a relief.

 

[alchemy void]

Loved that FD from F/S.

I mean it looked way easier than D/W, but it gave me more of the feels.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, looks like he had a suspender incident!

 

[MsZem]

Well how about something next season?

Will there be a next season?

 

[Jeschke]

I need Linichuk back!

 

[skatingguy]

This final flight really was old school Linichuk versus new school Zueva, and Zueva kicked ass.

 

[Jeschke]

Boy, the pressure on V/M going in.

 

[Hanna]

Will there be a next season?

Don't even go there!

Ah, prepare for the schmaltz!

 

[alchemy void]

PJ does a great job keeping her voice flat, you know she's dying to say "representing Canada" with a lot more gusto and pride.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yeah, I have no memory of the 2010 Skate America.

Meryl & Charlie had a double-fall in the free dance; Crone/Poirier also had a fall that invalidated elements and yet still came second.

 

[Jeschke]

This final flight really was old school Linichuk versus new school Zueva, and Zueva kicked ass.

That's why I am stuck in 2009

 

[alchemy void]

Haven't seen this in 10 years

 

[Aerobicidal]

This is reminding me of how I used to go into the V/M uber thread during major competitions and the level of . . . "intensity" would be a very kind way of putting it . . . was quite possibly the highest I've ever seen anything on FSU. I can't say I miss it, but it was entertaining.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Don't even go there!

Ah, prepare for the schmaltz!

I gotta say, as schmaltz goes, Mahler was a MUCH better program than their 2014 program. Although Valse Triste remains my favorite of their FDs.

 

[Amy L]

This music will always remind me of Katia at Celebration of a Life. Even if the choreo was done by the same person, it's still all Katia for me.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

So smooth.

 

[Jeschke]

Ah, prepare for the schmaltz!

So bitchy!
I bet @Hanna'10 loved it back then.
