2026 Worlds Free Dance PBP - Whale, That's All Folks!

[peibeck]

Katerina's pic with glasses on the display boards makes me want them to do a Hermoine and Harry Potter dance.

They did? Les Gacs are behind both GreenP and the Mrazkovi in the FD.

Are they? I think I've lost track of the scores. My bad!

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Thanks, but you must be referring to someone else. I've never been to a Worlds.

@MacMadame are you thinking of @skatingguy?

ETA: behind in the PBP saw your clarification!

Didn’t make it back from errands until Green/Parsons. Who should I go back to re-watch?

The younger Czechs

Missed the first two groups on long drive for granddaughter’s birthday. Now I’m hidden away with their giant TV on the lower level for the last two groups. I will start grandmomming one minute after the French get their (inflated) scores.

From y’all’s PBP it sounded pretty messy!

Saw them, and a severely depressed Taschlerova/Taschler in the KNC. Wasn’t sure if there were standouts to go back and watch from earlier.

They are taking a longer break due to the withdrawal and should begin Group 3 at the scheduled time.

The L/LeGacs skated well. They were in the lead for a long time even though they skated first.

 

[canbelto]

I've lost track of how many countries Alison Reed has skated for.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Mark thinks that we won't know until the end of the next 90 minutes who the new World Ice Dance Champions will be. Uhm, yeah, the RD told the story already.

 

[Sylvia]

Cross-posting this from the TV Alerts thread... I thought Tanith was measured and professional, as expected, in her commentary about Green/Parsons' FD (shown on delay). She thinks they performed "quite well today" and emphasized that "they are never lacking in their support of each other." Tanith also gave credit to Jean-Luc Baker for his choreography.

Plenty of time for someone to steal Lanie's seat again.

eventually it will all be revealed that this part of an international spy ring strategy

Thanks to their top ten placement, Gleb is promoted to Mediumkin

Together with Isabella Tobias who even skated for exactly the same counties and at times with the same partner

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So it's Sonata-Church-Crow-Dune-Perfume time

 

[Sally1214]

Mark telling me stuff I did not know about Christina and Anthony. She had to drive back and forth daily across the Cdn/USA border to train? Wow .... not something I'd want to do. And, also that she was born with hip issues and her parents were told she'd never play sports. I've always liked Christina and Anthony and now I like them even more.

What, Mark hasn't mentioned that Dav/Smo are M.A.R.R.I.E.D yet?

He did it during his "Diana has hearing issues" monologue.

 

[canbelto]

I like Davis/Smolkin but their skating skills always seem just below top rung.

They are last in the second group so that tracks.

 

[PRlady]

I have to give Diana credit. Burdened with being the daughter of the Wicked Witch of the East and a partner obviously better than she was, she put in the work and has improved. She also looks like she’s into the story she’s skating to. Good for her.

 

[miffy]

I enjoyed that. They have some lovely highlight moves.

They both must work so hard. I can't remember the last time either of them made any kind of obvious mistake.

Yes, she has quietly proven herself, it's admirable.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I liked that a lot; there were some really effective highlight moves.

(Their score is probably going to be astronomically high and make me mad, but for now, I liked it. )

 

[Private Citizen]

Davis and Smolkin have improved so much. Their curve lift is spectacular, second best in the field. If they beat some “better” team, it’s because material matters and theirs has been great this year.

 

[PRlady]

I want Gleb and Vadym to do an exhibition program.

 

[peibeck]

Davis/Smolkin got some great dances this year. Will be interested in seeing what MF gives them next.
