2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[allezfred]

I cannot with the flower kids clapping along to “I’m Too Sexy”

 

[slicekw]

It took way too long to get to Right Said Fred.

 

[Jay42]

So glad Saulison survived their twizzles

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Catching up
Zingas/Kolesnyk rocked.
LaLas looked rough and heavy.
Love the Finns, but this choice of music was weird.
Mrazeks were good with the exception of his twizzles, and I'm still wondering how long it will take before we see "Mrazkova/Taschler".

 

[skatingcheckers]

Love that by Z/K!! Wow ... they rose to the Olympic challenge. The future of US ice dancing!

I just can't keep my eyes off of Kol - Andrea Joyce is right ... he is a natural.

 

[my little pony]

LTU looks so out of place in this group

Allison Reed/Saulius Ambrulevicius

Music: I’m Too Sexy, Cantloop

Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 3

Choreographic Rhythm Sequence

This team seems to have found a real comfort zone with this program, and they've been nailing the performance all season.

Q 82.95 = 3rd Place

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

C'mon take the shirt off!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I'm not a fan of Alyson/Saulius.
I suddenly realized she got her citizenship, lol.
A new rink in Vilnius, I am guessing?

 

[Aussie Willy]

R&A are just so cheesy and entertaining. Love this dance.

 

[rfisher]

When retired skaters return to competition and are better than the current skaters, the problem is with the current skaters not those returning to competition.

 

[genevieve]

Reed/Ambdude do cheese right

 

[Jay42]

I know it's not popular but I do really love Allison and Saulius and this program is so fun and suits them so well

 

[Private Citizen]

Don’t understand how Reed & S will be any higher than 10th. The Taschlers skated rings around them and TBH even Bekker and Hernandez looked better to me.

Crawling over the ice, very little knee bend, awful program. I like their free but this is not good.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Review Allison’s twizzles

 

[Bunny Hop]

LTU looks so out of place in this group

Agree. It's a fun program and performed well (in the presentation sense) but following Zingas/Kolesnik didn't do them any favours. But I am happy Alison was able to go to another Olympics.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Reed/Ambdude do cheese right

I give them 10 for cheese.

Next season they should skate to Wallace and Grommit.

 

[her grace]

R/A

So nice for her to make her second Olympic team 16 years later. And glad he finally gets his Olympics, too

 

[miffy]

I know it's not popular but I do really love Allison and Saulius and this program is so fun and suits them so well

I enjoyed it too!

[Private Citizen]

I cannot understand this score at all. L&L were robbed among others. Does quality count for nothing? There must be some kind of deal.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, ZingKol come out on top today against ReedAmbru. Now for the candle-lighting and prayer circle for CarPon.

 

[MsZem]

The 90s were awesome. The 90s at 120 bpm, less so.

What I wouldn't give for some Britpop or grunge.

It's quite nice seeing Igor with a promising team again. I never thought I'd say that, I used to absolutely detest him after the L/T days, and then felt vaguely sorry when he lost almost all his teams (and then when even C/B left). I've warmed to him this week after he was so positive in the team event box even though his team weren't in it.

I have a vague recollection of Karine Arribert saying that he was the only one who got what she was trying to do with Blanc/Bouquet back in the day, which I approve of obviously.

 

[ryanj07]

Always happy for Saulison! They have one of my favorite RDs of the season.

 

[tangerine dream]

When was it decided that R/A were worthy of this kind of Chanflation?

 

[Bunny Hop]

That score! Lajoie/Lagha were way better even with that crappy program.

 

[Jammers]

I was worried the last couple of years wondering who would take C/B's place not so much as the number 1 US team in the future but which team wcould be a contender for podiums at Worlds since the US has almost had at least one contender for the podium at Worlds for the last 20+ years. Now i think we have our answer. To be honest i didn't see the answer with our current teams until this surge from Z/K but now i think i can see them continuing this momentum for the next 4 years.

 

[once_upon]

So who gets which coach (Marie-Franc or Patrice) in their k&c ?

 

[Jay42]

If I didn't already like CarPom them using La Bouche would have earned my affection forever

That's not what Chanflation means!
