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

[Jay42]

Not the Kate Bush version, unfortunately.

OK but someone skating to a non Stranger Things based medley of Kate Bush songs would be fun.

Or I just want to see someone skate a Palm Springs based program with Cloudbusting who's to say

 

[Citlali]

I'm a bit nervous for Lilah and Lewis. Lilah seemed a little skittish yesterday (twizzles section). Hope they have a good, clean skate here.

She has been having such a bad time with the FD since Euros, I hope she gets to exorcize the olympics like Kaori, Yuma and Ilia had.

The reality is they’ll do Dune Part 3 / Messiah for 2030. Classic throw back Olympic choice, but just “different” enough.

And I will probably love it as much as I love Dune I and II, although I'll continue to call it mesmerizing, because "mesmeric" sounds silly.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Not the Kate Bush version, unfortunately.

Which I'd love for a team to tackle some day. And I will absolutely never watch the Robbie/Elordi monstrosity.

 

[Karen-W]

BTW, GilPoir need 4th or higher to keep 3 spots for Canada.

 

[shan]

It's definitely the last event based on Mark's endless stream of chatter during this warm up.

I wonder how Lopareva maintains that hair color. Read that it's one of the hardest colors to maintain.

All French women ice dancers are handed the top secret red hair formula at the beginning of each season.

 

[miffy]

I spent years thinking L/B were mismatched and now they are my favourites. I'm going to watch back all their older programmes in the off season to see what I think now!

I think it was Rasputin that finally changed my mind

I had my hair that colour for years and it isn't too bad at all, dyes are a lot better these days. The hardest colour to keep is actually blue.

 

[Citlali]

Gooo Lopareva/ Brissaud
The only pair here that can skate to Bjork and not make me cringe

 

[Sally1214]

At the risk of sounding desperate for medals ..... out of the 10 people in the last warmup group, 4 of them (Piper, Paul, Lilah and Laurence) are Canadian citizens, right?

Based on my experience, pink is the hardest colour to keep.

 

[PRlady]

This dance is so intricate and difficult, will they get credit for it??

Blue fades to green so fast.

 

[Lanie]

I got pink highlights once. Lasted maybe two weeks. Waste of money

 

[canbelto]

I love this program. It's engaging and their glide across the ice is beautiful.

 

[miffy]

Based on my experience, pink is the hardest colour to keep.

I had pink for 10 years, and in the last couple I found an amazing dye that barely fades at all. If you or anyone you know wants to go pink again DM me

 

[Aceon6]

I still want to be Genia when I grow up.

Sadly, I don't think so.

 

[Karen-W]

LopBri are lucky they had a 2+ point advantage over the next 4 teams from the RD otherwise they'd drop more than 1 place overall. They'll finish behind SmaDie for sure but should stay ahead of ReedAmbru and CarPon.

 

[Wyliefan]

What was the TES? I missed it.

 

[Private Citizen]

I keep wanting to like this free dance because they move so well, but both the program itself and the tricks within the program lack the impact of Smart and Dieck.

 

[marbri]

Okay Mark. I have no more idea what Dune was about than this Björk program by L/B so knock that off

 

[peibeck]

Loperava on fire today. Can't believe she didn't get a level 4 on the one foot.

This is actually more of a dance than the Dune vibes. Guessing the judges won't agree.

 

[Vagabond]

Lopareva and Brissaud would nail Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.

 

[MacMadame]

Mark is getting on my very last nerve.

 

[beckab81]

Judges weren’t giving the GOE… again, sucks so much to be the #2 team.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Oh Mark, as if the judges are considering rules and not vibes and faves when assigning PCS…

 

[jlai]

Lower tes than the Spaniards, they will drop.
Nervous for the Americans given how the jduges favor S/D.
