2026 Europeans - Free Dance - "Sheffield Whinesday"

[~tapdancer~]

The infamous twizzles! Always an issue if there is going to be one! Lilah looks nervous. Keep her in check, Lewis! You guys can do it!

 

[MacMadame]

Is he not? John Kerr wore one a few times.

He's allowed but he doesn't want to.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Listen, home ice, crowd pleasing program, all that....
But this is.... I mean... Seriously...
Try to find an edge in that steps sequence.

 

[beckab81]

Lilah's face heading into the twizzles made me completely unsurprised by the mistake. We'll see about the impact to the score.

 

[tangerine dream]

I've never really seen FearGib crack under pressure, that suprised me.

 

[Wyliefan]

Lilah's face heading into the twizzles made me completely unsurprised by the mistake. We'll see about the impact to the score.

Yeah, that's one time that pukeface really indicated something was going to go wrong.

 

[Hanna]

I wonder if the Kerrs are in Sheffield watching.

 

[tony]

Brilliant opening combo lift, really that's about as good as you can get with the music. And I WISH 500 Miles lasted a lot longer than it does, listen to the crowd already. Twizzles MEH and now everything is super nervy. She is wobbling EVERYWHERE in the one foot. I would give it easily a level 1 on her part, of course right now it's called 3 for her.

This is insanely overscored, even as much of a big fan as I am that is ridiculous. Beyond.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Is this the first time Lilah and Lewis have had a big error in a major competition?

 

[Private Citizen]

WTF happened on the twizzle and what does it take for the judges to give negative GOE? They looked like they were thinking through the first half of the program, more like September-October than January.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

HOW they have a higher TES than G/F?????

 

[tangerine dream]

Aww love the Scottish flags in the audience

 

[delayedaxel]

This song should be adapted to the metric system for better understandability:

"I would walk 804,672 kilometers..."

 

[Citlali]

Nervy program from Lilah and Lewis, particularly for Lewis who is the better skater of the two, but today you would not believe it.

 

[MsZem]

Nope, I still like the Kerrs' Scottish program better.

And if that TES holds and they end up higher on the tech than G/F, that will be an embarassment and an outrage.

ETA: even Chris acknowledges that this was... not top notch.

 

[Braulio]

Behind Italians please you know they should judges

 

[annie_mg]

I know this is very common, but her stone face at the beginning really bugs me. Juulia P and Madison Chock needs to teach these women how to sell every single second of their programme.

 

[Wyliefan]

Too bad that had to happen at their home Euros.

 

[terisa]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO..... that was ..... WHOOOOOOO

 

[beckab81]

F/G have often seemed to struggle with nerves at Euro's, and being at home seemed to make it even more significant. Sorry they couldn't have the clean skate they wanted at home.

 

[tony]

Twizzles 3/4 -0.6.. moved up to -0.41
MiSt 3/2
OFT 2/2 --> his moved up conveniently to 3 very late

I about fell out of my seat when Chris said they were SLOW.

TES is 69.34

Not enough.

 

[peibeck]

Sorry, but there is zero reason their TES should be as high as G/F with that twizzle error. . Very tentative at times.

 

[Karen-W]

They lost their mojo after the twizzle error and it probably wasn't helped that the program transitions into the slower music right after that. Guessing bronze again for them.

 

[SidelineSkater]

One thing Chris has been right about. Both PCS and TES too high.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I can't with Fear: I find her so dull. Cute is fine for juniors, but I just can't.

 

[Matryeshka]

If Laurence can wear underwear, Lewis should be allowed a kilt.

I'm probably wrong about this, but my understanding is Lewis can wear a kilt--he just doesn't want to.

Wow. F/G must have been really slow for Chris to admit it.

If this was anywhere else, that mistake would put them behind the Georgians, at least in the FD portion.

 

[Private Citizen]

Good judging. Well as good as one can expect.

 

[Spikefan]

Thank goodness, I was ready to rage.

 

[Braulio]

YEEEEEEEEEEES!

 

[SidelineSkater]

Still too close to G/F
