Papadakis/Cizeron #10 - Waacking All The Way To Beijing

[Peepsquick]

If anyone can pull that off it is them. They got this.

You are right ... nerves, nerves, nerves (on my part!)

Reminds me of my Federer days. It helps that I cannot watch anything. Vicariously enjoying these games through the reports. Good enough!

Unless there is a "disaster" happening with their skating, they will win.
And yes, I'm scratching my virtual balls while writing this. No worries.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nobody cares what you're scratching. Don't be disgusting.

Um file this under things I did not need to know.

 

[Amantide]

Calm down. ^ lol

It's an expression we use against "evil eye", a superstition thing. And it's a joke.

Judging by Instagram photos, they seem to have reworked their lifts (at least rotational?) in the FD quite a bit.

Do you have any links? I'm no good at tracking things down on Instagram, sadly...

Thank you, that's fantastic!

Thank you for the link! A part of me wishes Gabi kept her black dress from those pictures...
I swear I'm getting more nervous each day as the competition is getting closer and closer... anyway, no matter the result, I just hope they're gonna enjoy it to the maximum and leave it all out there.

I'm just a bit annoyed that we haven't heard anything about their training (or any other Ice Dance teams to be honest, except for those who did the Team Event). On the other hand I guess it would keep the suspense and make the actual competition more exciting.

May be because it's a few days til the competition ...

It annoys me that reporters don't cover the ice dance practices because there are no jumps and the big names aren't as big. Treat yourself, reporters, go watch P/C and their friends...

I'd like to get some practice reports as well but luckily the competition will start soon.

It seems ice-dance.com is covering the practices, so maybe they'll have some reports at some point.

I'm still getting nervous in anticipation and it's another 3 days until the event starts. I absolutely want this title for them and just pray for no mistakes, disasters or errors.

 

[Vash01]

After what happened to them in the RD in 2018, I hope they will be super careful. That dress disaster may have cost them the gold. keeping my fingers crossed for them this time.

 

[DreamSkates]

I find myself less stressed than last time. I look forward to seeing the alterations and improvements they‘ve made to their programs.

And hopefully she’ll be sewn into her dresses.

She was sewn into her top in PyeongChang too and things still managed to go cattywumpus. I think that might be one reason for the pull-on top this time!

A couple of hours ago Paul Peret posted a photo of P/C practising their RD this morning (Beijing time) on the main rink.

ETA: Oh my - the RD costumes now have added sparkles!

And more photos!

• Gabi was bringing SASS to this practice session
• Lines for days...
• Assorted bits of fierceness

Hope some more surface in the next little while!

Thanks so much for finding these! Wow Guillaume’s top has a higher neckline and he’s wearing more eye makeup! Not sure I like this look though..

Hey Bourzat in the day worked that eyeliner for the Mummy number so lay off the chap.... It's a thing.

I am fully here for Guillaume wearing as much eye makeup as he pleases for this one. It suits the theme!

Guillaume is watching Short Track live tonight - the camera caught him in the stands.

I don't like these outfits. I feel like they are too busy and distract from the intricate movements of their RD.

ETA: Hoping that their competition outfits are sleeveless, because I feel like that would really draw attention to their arms and all that they do with them in the RD.

 

[deegee]

the side of guillaume's boot is practically skimming the ice, his edge is so deep

And this should be used by ice dance coaches.

The sparkles feels a bit unnecessary, esp. the way they are sewn on his top. But I hope they look great on TV. Looking forward to a smashing performance in two days.

Nooooooo. Poor choice of words for me considering all of the nightmare scenarios I have had running in my head all week #nojinx

Maybe they have been criticized for outfits too plain. This is the Olympics. Go big or go home! (just a saying, I will be cheering them on to a gold medal).

Oh! pull-on - smart idea!
