2025 Skate America Rhythm Dance - Blue (At This Themed Dance)

[canbelto]

Is that a hair extension on Madi?

 

[~tapdancer~]

I am not concerned. C/P just had a not so good skate there, not a dumpage. Something to look at with the step sequence getting a B. I have faith in their coaches that they will figure this out.

I loved LaLa. They skate for the audience in that RD. I thought it was great.

I shouldn't comment on L/B because I have never liked them and never will. So I will just leave it there.

OK, this music belongs to Madison Hubbell in her teeny shorts and top, skating with her brother.

 

[tony]

twizzles again nowhere near the quality of L/L or even L/B. They just do not move. And they are doing nothing to make them super intricate.

 

[marbri]

The 3 most hosed teams this season, because their teammates will challenge for medals at OG, skating in a row.

Interestingly I saw a recent interview where Zach hoped these very three would be the top three post OGs.

 

[beckab81]

Loved L/B!

C-Pom benefited from a home worlds last season, and had better programs than this season. Hopefully they re-work some things to try & gain momentum.

What’s up with that score for L/B? What did the tech panel do to them?

 

[Matryeshka]

Madison Chock understands the assignment. I'm sure somewhere in a box I have pictures of my and my friends wearing VERY similar tops.

 

[thvu]

Those twizzles were sad. Slow, little ice coverage, ending at near stops. And Gabby is praising the element? (Sigh, the commentator bias is real.)

 

[Kateri]

That twizzle GOE. (I do actually like this RD though)

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lenny Kravitz does not do it for me for a rhythm dance here.

 

[Kasey]

Loving Chock/Bates but that’s more love for Lenny kravitz than the RD

 

[my little pony]

this little breakout dance bit looks like my mom dancing at drag bingo

 

[Wyliefan]

Everyone looks so slow to me today. Like they're all skating through peanut butter.

 

[Hanna]

Surprisingly the little choreo moment in the middle of the midline steps is my fave part of the program.

 

[canbelto]

I really like this program. I like it when C&B don't try to act faux-elegant.

 

[Citlali]

First time watching Madison and Evan this season... still doing 1000 music cuts?! Pick a lane guys

 

[tony]

I’m being totally serious when I say I think C/B may actually look better on TV. That pattern was SLOW and careful, too.

 

[Braulio]

The fix is IN

Igor Shpilband will go to the Olympics with his couple as USA 2

 

[skategal]

I swear Chock/Bates RD is 10 minutes long.

 

[Aceon6]

The more comps I watch, the more I hate this 90s theme and the tempo requirement. Every single dance, even from the top dancers, looks cobbled together with duct tape and chicken wire.

 

[kwanfan1818]

The pace of the first two parts of C/B's music reminds me of the scene from the point of view of the drunk or drugged person walking into a bar, and the room looks blurry and is circling.

 

[TAHbKA]

After Lopareve/Brissaud Chock/Bates were boring

 

[marbri]

Really curious to see how FB/C get judged in Finland because I find post GPFra these tech panels have been brutal.

 

[Braulio]

Pattern Sequence BASE!

 

[canbelto]

Well I liked it. I thought it was fun.

 

[Karen-W]

Another pattern step base level call. This tech panel is ridiculous.

 

[MacMadame]

Those twizzles were sad. Slow, little ice coverage, ending at near stops. And Gabby is praising the element? (Sigh, the commentator bias is real.)

And they got high GOE.

 

[thvu]

I’m being totally serious when I say I think C/B may actually look better on TV. That pattern was SLOW and careful, too.

It looked bad on TV too.

 

[peibeck]

C/B not getting love from the callers either, but much improved from their first GP.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I’m so moved that our married American ice dance champions are skating to such a patriotic and romantic song as American Woman.
