They weren't perfect, still much room for improvement. But it was so close with LaLa that it seemed obvious to me that they got underscored. They were ahead of LaLa in the RD.

G/P looked sloppy and they had a curve lift that it took forever to balance. They got Lv1 and neg GOE on that.

Lala and cpom both had a lot of things under review. lala's stuff got mostly reviewed up; cpom's stuff got mostly reviewed down. Just enough so lala could beat them. Their tes was ahead before reviews.

Although they both got very muted goes compared to r/a which is...something.

Based on what the last number shown on the tracker:
LaLa went from 67.48 to 64.46: down 3.02 pts
Carpom went from 64.83 to 62.84: down 1.99 pts

So no, Lala's TES did not get mostly reviewed up

These two teams seem very much on equal footing with the panel and the judges.

I really hate the prospect of the two teams being pitted against one another thanks to the dodgy tech panel here when I'd consider both superior to what went ahead of them, anyway...

Yeah. It looks like the judges are liking R/A and Zin/Kol much more than Lala, Car/Pom, and Gui/Fab. I can't blame them regarding Car/Pom; this season's programs, in comparison to those shown two seasons ago, are not as sophisticated and polished. But it's really hard to do with the RD theme. It has messed with a number of couples with respect to preparation, IMHO.

Does anyone know what CPom’s FD was originally, before they changed it allegedly in response to feedback at Champs Camp?

I was wondering that as I watched today.

All we heard was Mozart.

 

[Wyliefan]

Mozart's Requiem, wasn't it?

 

[Allskate]

Mozart's Requiem, wasn't it?

I hope that they use it as an exhibition so that we can see it.

Putting my tin foil hat on here but…. I actually think the Lacrimosa was probably good but then the USFS saw Bock’s train wreck of a FD and decided that they couldn’t be outshone. Like isn’t it funny how in this mad season with crazy politics that all of the usually stronger teams suddenly have much weaker programmes? It just doesn’t feel like a coincidence that both CPom and LaLa ditched ideas that were classical and Olympic worthy…

Christina & Anthony did a video interview with Tatjana Flade for Ice Skating International Online after their FD at Skate Canada.

Last question of the interview is about her naturalization process - she sounds VERY hopeful that she'll have it completed within a few more weeks!

 

[litenkyckling]

It really must be so hard to ignore it and not be distracted by it - keeping everything crossed for her. To represent a country internationally for 10+ years with multiple medals including JW and 4CC and 3 trips to worlds and STILL be waiting… ridiculous really

 

[marbri]

Loved hearing their comments about Scott, not surprised but great to hear from the people he coaches.. And I agree with Anthony, Christina has really put the work in and I really hope for them both that this is settled before December hits.

 

[litenkyckling]

I’ve just watched the interview now but I have to say - I’ve never seen Anthony so relaxed and confident in an interview. Maybe it’s just maturing but he has such an air of confidence - it’s so nice to see. He’s always seemed like a good partner but I wonder if training under Scott is what has led him to be such a vocal supporter and cheerleader for Christina? Real respect there between them is lovely.

Also found it interesting how they said that this has been a quad of storytelling for them… if they are thinking about the narrative of quads then I can’t wait for the next one!
