2026 Europeans - Free Dance - "Sheffield Whinesday"

[~tapdancer~]

Liking this Swedish team, speed and interesting movement! Nice kiss at the end!

 

[tangerine dream]

Are we starting with dead Juliet? Is she a ghost? That would be kind of awesome if she was.

I think you just manifested a R&J / Ghost the Musical FD from some obscure couple next season.

 

[Braulio]

OMG that was lovely!! the kiss in the end, if they are not a couple I think they will become one (off ice)

 

[PRlady]

Oh do I love the Swedes. Her posture and movement are gorgeous, and he’s tied with Zingas for Best Career Decision in moving to ice dance.

 

[peibeck]

May the Swedes finally topple the Fun Finns. Great ice coverage and the big sweeping lobes are so lovely.

 

[Hanna]

Love the Swedes but please skate gods, let them choose something other than schmaltzy R&J.

 

[Spikefan]

Are we starting with dead Juliet? That would be kind of awesome if she was.

Yes, they tell the story backwards, or something.

 

[terisa]

A-a-a-ahhhhh.... that was gorgeous

 

[Matryeshka]

The music for R&J really is pretty, and the Prokofiev music is just a masterpiece, I wish skaters would start divorcing the music from the story. Dramatic, highs and lows, I love this music, I just hate the story for anyone out of juniors. Z/K almost do this, and then they have to go and stab themselves at the end.

 

[Citlali]

Milla and Nikolaj

Ok I loved that, one of the few enjoyable Romeo ad Juliet programs I have seen in my many, many, many years watching this sport (just did the math.. 32 years )

 

[Evilynn]

IIRC they're telling the story backwards.

And yes, they're a couple off ice last I heard.

Or a free skate from Lara Naki...

 

[Karen-W]

Wow! By a whisker of .02, they fail to supplant the Fun Finns for the lead!

 

[peibeck]

 

[Wyliefan]

Or a free skate from Lara Naki...

Lara Naki would NEVER. Or at least she'd do Zombie Juliet instead of Ghost Juliet.

 

[Braulio]

they were robbed

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

And the stellar skating skills of the Fun Finns continue their supremacy.

 

[miffy]

They kissed after the RD as well, they definitely look like a happy couple

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Oh, good. Another R&J

Do you think the couples do it on purpose?

 

[Hedwig]

If only I knew if the scores are close up the top. Tonia has not said. bites nails nervously until she finds out

That's my favorite part! It makes the whole free dance kind of Tim Burton.

They are responding to the judging. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

That's even more frightening than the fact that the Finns are still in front. I like the Finns, but come on. The Swedes and the Spanish should so clearly be above them. And the Germans. Possibly the Israelis.

OK, I don't mind these two R&Js back to back. At least it's different music and a different feeling.

 

[Allen]

These colors aren't doing a thing for Phebe and James, but I don't mind the program so far

 

[Spikefan]

This is the inferior R&J because of “Kissing You”.

 

[Karen-W]

At least of the three potential R&J FDs we may see at the Olympics, the teams aren't using the same compositions. We've got Prokofiev, Rota and the Luhrmann soundtrack. That makes it slightly more palatable than the Ricky Martin RDs on repeat.

 

[peibeck]

Nothing says "R&J" like a handstand on a skating boot.

 

[delayedaxel]

Lara Naki would NEVER. Or at least she'd do Zombie Juliet instead of Ghost Juliet.

I would watch that!

A zombie coming back and and taking revenge with eerie gestures and crazy movements right in front of the judges...

 

[Citlali]

This is entirely too beige

 

[Braulio]

Lovely posture during the dance spin and very centered, solid

He does a good job with the spins
