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

[Jeschke]

Hot take, B/A should have won 2009 worlds with their Tosca FD.

Domnina was my everything, sorry
(disliked Spartacus though)

 

[Jeschke]

B/A should have skated their Amelie program that they only did twice!

Cannot recall that

 

[casken]

Linichuk actually had B&A in simple, streamlined costumes during the GP. I don't why they chose these montrosities.

[Colonel Green]

These costumes are a real flashback to Torino.

 

[Wyliefan]

Man, the move to Linichuk was such a weird miss for B&A. She was good for their technique, but from a program standpoint, she so clearly didn't get them even a little bit. They're like pod people.

True, but she did help save Tanith from an eating disorder, so there's that!

 

[Hanna]

I think yesterday watching the Torino OD I mentioned my B/A überdom. Well, by 2010 I was over it.

This is why North America didn’t sweep!!! Lol

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Didn’t DomShabs use of the belts to support some of the lifts and holds this season spur a rule or am I misremembering?

 

[casken]

You cant blame Linichuk for B&A.

His original purple one looked like a pyjama, or?

They didn't really have anywhere else to go. They were politicked out of the Shpilband/Zueva school and the US didn't have that many other choices at the time. So they got the Linnichuk Borg makeover.

At this time there were rumors starting about Tanith and Charlie dating. A lot of the reactions were totally disbelieving, but that one turned out more real than V/M's sekret marriage and babies.

Mama Belbin sez "I didn't do it!"

 

[skatingguy]

Cannot recall that

2007 World Championships - they dumped a program renown as one of the worst Free Dances ever to 'That's Entertainment' to skate a lovely piece to 'Amelie'.

 

[skipaway]

B/A should have skated their Amelie program that they only did twice!

I loved their Amelie FD

 

[Colonel Green]

In an alternate universe, Charlie retired post-Vancouver to spend his days traveling around in a van solving mysteries with Tanith.

I think I was the only That's Entertainment defender.

You are correct. Lots of rules got changed because of this event!

ICE FAX

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Domnina!

You have the belts right, and the rule was changed for the following season.

 

[Amy L]

I loved DomShabs before his knees totally disintegrated. I thought B/A were totally hosed for the bronze here though, but I always knew there was 0% chance that Russia was going to let a medal go.

 

[Wyliefan]

Man, chattering over the announcer was really a thing then. Guess it beats waiting in terrified silence!

 

[Colonel Green]

The contrast between Agosto's look in the Latin OD rewatch and here.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Cannot recall that

It was the FD they switched to after they ditched the That's Entertainment monstrosity.

 

[alchemy void]

I get Shabalin's knees were gone at this point, but that's no excuse for the hair.

 

[Wyliefan]

His hair . . . his cape . . . what in blazes!?

 

[skatingguy]

I think I was the only That's Entertainment defender.

Did you have a novel virus at the time?

 

[Barbara Manatee]

What is supposed to be growing up? flowing down? her leg?

Or that the US would get two, TBH.

Nope, I was just a huge fan of anything movie-musical-related!
