[victorskid]

And we are off for the last RD of this season's JGP.

 

[her grace]

Mouaden/Bigot

Crisp technique, much more performance during step sequence than the average junior team, rhumba only a level 1 and looked nervy, good danceability

 

[her grace]

Kruk/Eisenhaber

twizzle trouble from her, pattern slower and smaller, some nice energy and commitment to the program

 

[her grace]

Aboian/Veselukhin

striking movement, excellent synchronization through patterns and hitting the key points (4 on rhumba, 2 on quickstep) performing with confidence, masterful interpretation of the Vogue concept, should lead

 

[Wyliefan]

Abo/Ves looked much faster and smoother in the patterns today. Into 1st by 4 1/2 points! Unfortunately I didn't wake up in time for Mou/Big -- will have to catch them later.

 

[Wyliefan]

Mark just talked about the time he had to dress up as a dancing hippo, and that image is going to haunt me for a while.

 

[her grace]

Bianchi/Basile

nice flow through the rhumba level 2, level 3 on quick step, they are very light on their feet, level 3 on twizzles, could put more feeling into their presentation

 

[her grace]

If Mouaden/Bigot finish in second place here, they need to score at least 78.23 in FD to win the (13) + (13) = 26 tiebreak with Anderson/Dawson for the last JGPF qualifier spot.

 

[her grace]

Zakova/Mencl

Hard day for the Czech team, negative GOE on just about everything and she fell.

 

[her grace]

Kalaganis/Deveu

He's in referee shirt and she's in skating dress with a sports number on hip, wobbly from her on twizzles, JGP debut and still in early stages of development

 

[victorskid]

After 2 of 3 groups we have an ice resurfacing.

[Wyliefan]

Kalaganis/Deveu

He's in referee shirt and she's in skating dress with a sports number on hip, wobbly from her on twizzles, JGP debut and still in early stages of development

Mark and Ted note that their choreographers were Smart, Dieck, and Saulius A. (don't ask me to spell it at this hour). Cute program in the vein of Laj/Lag's sports-themed RD.

 

[her grace]

Slatter/Gregory

Her edges are clearly stronger than his, negotiated the lift well especially since they got somewhat close to the boards, they have a nice look together, great potential for the future

 

[Wyliefan]

Ashlie looks her usual cheerful, confident self; Louis looks nervous most of the time. He needs to work on his posture too. I think he's still getting used to the height difference.

 

[Wyliefan]

Woohoo, we got Shania!

 

[her grace]

Lavazza/Meunier

careful through the twizzles, negative GOE on patterns, Man I Feel Like a Woman into Blue--not quite sure how those go together other than that they're both upbeat 90s songs, rotational lift moved well across the ice

 

[her grace]

Gao/Ji

messy through the twizzles, push-ups on ice in midline steps, what hath F/G wrought? both are quite engaged with the program and the music

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh Lord, it's that insane version of Cotton-Eyed Joe.

 

[her grace]

Fugate/Fugate

so much good country music in the 90s and Cotton Eyed Joe was chosen she lost some levels on twizzles, decent speed, negative GOE on patterns, think they could extend more and finish the movements, fun program

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:3 (W:2 M:3 after review)
Rhumba 1st Sec B + kpNNNN
Quickstep 1st Sec B + kpNNNN
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Rotational Lift 4

The skating was a bit rough, and the choreography is a bit paint by number, and the performance didn't live up to the energy of Shania Twain.

43.63 = 10th Place

 

[skatingguy]

9th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr9VnfkK9js
Lara Sundberg/Hector Gonzalez Elvira

Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:4 (W:1 M:4 after review)
Rotational Lift 4
Rhumba 1st Sec 2 + kpNYNY
Quickstep 1st Sec 2 + kpNNYY (1 + kpNNNY after review)
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:2

The skating was rough in places, and the performance doesn't live up to the energy of the music.

-1.00 = Violation of Choreo Restrictions
43.72 = 9th Place

 

[skatingguy]

8th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc2kfQsbEDQ

Quickstep 1st Sec 1 + NNYN
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2 - Eliska fell
Rotational Lift 4

Enjoyable performance quality, and a couple that 's easy to watch, but a mistake like that on an element is so costly.

-1.00 = Falls
45.42 = 8th Place

 

[skatingguy]

7th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W38Yy7Nxay4
Ashlie Slatter/Louis Gregory

Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:3
Rotational Lift 4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2 (W:2 M:1 after review)

An enjoyable, and engaging performance, and pretty solid technical elements.

48.50 = 7th Place

 

[skatingguy]

6th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O2HB05v_a8
Clara Fugate/Warren Fugate
