2026 Olys Free Dance PBP - Whale, Are We Ready For Some Bull Sheet Scores?

[skategal]

R/A just don't look good compared to the last 3 teams.

Predicting 1st place of course. Ugh.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

R/a are about half the speed of L/B

 

[Coco]

Carol Lane doesn't "get" Lop/Bri's program

Well, she wouldn't.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Here is the church, here is the steeple…

 

[terisa]

This is my church. I'm in my jammies, with snacks and wine, watching skating.

 

[MacMadame]

This is my church. I'm in my jammies, with snacks and wine, watching skating.

I was going to say it's too early for wine here but it is after lunch...

 

[YourBorneo]

This just feels like old people going to the club and taking over the dance floor to do their old dance routines while everyone watches from the sidelines, unsure what to make of it all…

Since missing the Free Dance at Worlds last year this team has really buckled down, and been super consistent this season, and here they are again.

RD: 82.95 = 7th Place
FD: 121.71 = 2nd Place
Total: 204.66 = 1st Place

 

[PRlady]

I can’t believe the audience likes this crap but whatever. That second to last spin was novice-level pairs.

 

[Braulio]

It´s incredible how they kept that level during all season long! from the Olympic Qualifier until the Games

 

[my little pony]

well if you like aerobics in place, have I got the program for you

 

[overedge]

R/A do funky moves right in front of a TV camera, and director goes for a long shot

 

[MsZem]

R/a are about half the speed of L/B

And none of the edgework.

 

[Jay42]

I do as a rule really like Allison and Saulius but in all honesty this program does way more to remind me that I find house and trance music really boring most of the time. I like my techno music with a bit more oomph to it.

 

[Private Citizen]

One of these things is not like the other…. One of these things doesn’t belong.

If I forget it’s a competition judged on technical criteria, I don’t hate it. It’s the best I can do.

 

[tony]

I mean this shit is fun as can be and it totally gets the audience but it doesn’t move outside the middle of the ice for a long time, there’s no coverage otherwise, and the elements are not very strong. I’d put them 6th in the FD at this point.

 

[ryanj07]

R/A are my guilty pleasure team, I've loved them this year!

 

[overedge]

I'm biased because I love Faithless, but I really enjoyed that program.

 

[Aussie Willy]

R&A - I like it but not as natural as some of the others. It was kind of moving through the elements.

 

[Aceon6]

If I’m hearing the last word of ReedAmb’s program correctly, it’s WHY. My question is WHY?

 

[Lara]

I don’t dislike R&A (and genuinely enjoyed their RD this season), but whatever criteria the judges are using to place them so high really needs to be revised.

 

[miffy]

That worked so much better than earlier in the season and Euros. It flowed a lot better and it's nice to see something a bit different, although it reminds me a little of Bourne/Kraatz Meet Her at the Love Parade FD.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Reed/Ambrulevicius - Same comment as Rhythm Dance. I enjoy watching them, but seem like they should be in an earlier group. Of course I haven't seen all of the Free Dance so I may be way off base. But much slower than the previous team with less flow.

 

[peibeck]

No, they aren't the best (Allison hasn't stretched a finger or toe all season), but the CAMP is everything to me.

 

[skategal]

I mean they are both sexy as hell....but I don't know why this gets so rewarded.

 

[Sarah]

I have a soft spot for R/A but that doesn’t mean they should be top 8…

 

[Elisheba]

I liked Allison better when she was dead in a churchyard.

 

[my little pony]

ewwww

 

[Sally1214]

Well, Carol could really "get into" R/A's program. So, there ya go .....
