[tangerine dream]

Chinese 90s music! Anything's better than Ricky Martin.

[Wang/Liu]

I think this team was lucky to more or less 'hit' at the Olympic qualifier because I don't think they've looked very good since and it's like all their energy went into that competition. Tentative, slow, major distance between them in holds, pattern had almost nothing hit for levels.

Twizzles 4/4
Midline 1/2
Pattern 1
RoLi 4

'Illness and health problems' is why they sat out.

 

[MacMadame]

I just can't with this horrible mix of the music into the feed and the camerawork, where half the routine is recorded from far away and/or overhead.

I'm off to bed. Enjoy!

 

[Marta24]

That's a generous call on Hensen's twizzles.

 

[tony]

Hensen/Lickers

Ricky Martin #10 between Euros and 4CC.

Midline 2/2
Twizzles 4/4 -- GOE should be lower here
Pattern 1
RoLi 4
one of the weakest ChRS I've seen all season. Almost zero content until 3/4 of the way through it

 

[Bunny Hop]

Nice to see Holly & Jason in the last group.

I just got home and looked at the start order and was both surprised and pleased.

Anyway, glad I only missed the first two couples.

 

[tangerine dream]

Yikes, I gasped so loud on that double fall that my dog came running in to check on me.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Fournier/Zhu - Yikes! Nasty fall. Lost the element. They seem very slow and the error sucked out the energy as well. Tech score is loooow. Poor guys.

ETA: Chris says "It was a little bit ragged to say the least". Understatement of the year.

 

[Aussie Willy]

I just got home and looked at the start order and was both surprised and pleased.

Anyway, glad I only missed the first two couples.

I skipping 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown to watch the dance

And James May and the Dull Men which is hilarious.

 

[tony]

Fournier/Zhu

Twizzles 3/4 -GOE - she stopped moving on the second set. This level should drop.
Midline 1/1
PSt Base level fall, she looked extremely tight through the whole thing and then he ended up tripping her and wiping out himself. 1.25 points overall, negative points if you consider the -2.00
RoLi4

 

[PRlady]

Never heard of this Canadian team and probably never will again.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Fournier/Zhu - Yikes! Nasty fall. Lost the element. They seem very slow and the error sucked out the energy as well. Tech score is loooow. Poor guys.

Poor things. Those falls are horrible. They didn't look very comfortable. And she is lucky she didn't land on the back of his blade while watching the replay.

 

[Bunny Hop]

They ran out of money for a costume for him I assume (not being snarky - they are probably too low down the pecking order to get funding).

 

[tony]

There was no third deduction, maybe that's what took forever for them to decide.

 

[misskarne]

There can't be many worse feelings than eating the ice unexpectedly like that and then having to deal with the long slow death in the kiss and cry while you await the doom of your score.

 

[tony]

Stanley/Urano

Twizzles 4/1
Pattern 1
Midline 1/2
RoLi 4

Presentation and Skating Skills below 5.00

 

[Aussie Willy]

Mexico - that was a strange combination of music selections. They gave it a good go . But quite behind the standard of what we will see.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Stanley/Urano - Twizzles are not being friendly to the skaers so far. Otherwise fine. Slow but got through it. Agree with Chris that they weren't really skating to the music.

 

[tony]

Xiao/He

Midline 2/1
Twizzles 4/3 - he broke slightly on the second set but actually quite smooth
Pattern 1
RoLi 4

Why can't they be China #1

 

[Bunny Hop]

Xiao/He - The music edit is terrible. They have a bit more energy, but in the middle they were also skating with music in the background. Elements seemed okay.


Didn't the 4CC skaters get the memo that every second team needs to skate to Ricky Martin (I see there was one earlier)?

 

[Aussie Willy]

Chinese team - they did okay. Nothing to deduct on the elements. Were okay with the music. The last part of the music gave me visions of Sparky the choreographer from Bring it On.

 

[PRlady]

Young Chinese preferable to Wang/Liu, I think.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Male half of the Brazilian team comes from Reading UK where we used to live, so I'm already keen for them to do well on that basis alone.

Crap - another twizzle error. They need to smooth out their skating but they seemed to be enjoying themselve, so good job.

 

[tony]

Pallu-Neves/Panesar

Twizzles - 4/Base
Midline 2/1
Pattern 2
RoLi 3

Weak all-around, pretty basic choreography but still fun

 

[Aussie Willy]

Brazil - that was a bit rough. His face during the lift was scary. He was the weaker of the two. The music on the TV is too quiet to hear properly.

 

[misskarne]

I feel like for a 90s RD some of these costumes are a bit too 2020s. COMMIT

 

[Bunny Hop]

Ren/Xing - They are a LOT faster than the previous teams. Eeeek - her twizzles were all over the place. Nice use of holds in the pattern-like steps. Yep, quality just went up exponentially.


ETA: Only third? Okay....
