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

[Spikefan]

Oh Ice Dance.

 

[canbelto]

Piper is one of those women who looks WAY better without her skating makeup. Idk why. But have seen her in regular makeup and she looks like a different person.

 

[Desperado]

deductions for what?!??

Mark said a lift held too long.

 

[Firedancer]

deductions for what?!??

Illegal element…sounds like they held a lift too long

 

[Wyliefan]

Z/K medal ... but what an awkward moment. It's "stationary lift BASE?" all over again.

 

[Reuven]

Opening lift too long? I thought it went on for a while.

 

[Vagabond]

I can't imagine Heathcliff ever wearing a blue shirt.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Wow, are ZinKol the first non-Russian/Soviet ice dancers to medal in their first worlds?

 

[Aceon6]

Well, IAM may have just gotten a slap.

 

[PRlady]

WHO said ZingKol will drop without a U.S. judge? Holy shit.

But I feel so badly for the Brits. What happened? (I’m entertaining a 4 year old while trying to watch.)

 

[beckab81]

This isn’t how we wanted Z/K to get their first world medal

 

[miffy]

I can't imagine Heathcliff ever wearing a blue shirt.

I read that as skirt and was about to agree.

 

[MacMadame]

I love this team so much. I'm so happy for them.

I said to DH that lift was illegal component at the moment it happened

 

[Elisheba]

didnt the Shibs?

 

[Stephanie]

Wow, are ZinKol the first non-Russian/Soviet ice dancers to medal in their first worlds?

Shibs did also

 

[miffy]

Wow, are ZinKol the first non-Russian/Soviet ice dancers to medal in their first worlds?

Didn't the Shibs, or was that not their first year? The time Igor won the whole podium.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm sure that that isn't how Olivia & Tim wanted to earn another Worlds FD small bronze either.

 

[Wyliefan]

I love this program, but it looks kind of messy. Which of course was the risk they took.

 

[terisa]

Opening lift too long? I thought it went in for a while.

It's something about that opening lift, did he straghten his arm fully?

 

[skatfan]

Mark says the opening lift was called an illegal element

It looked off to me, the rotation stalled and then increased.

 

[canbelto]

Well I like their Olympic program better.

 

[MacMadame]

It's something about that opening lift, did he straghten his arm fully?

went on too long

 

[Vagabond]

Wow, are ZinKol the first non-Russian/Soviet ice dancers to medal in their first worlds?

The Shibutanis did so too.

 

[Desperado]

What's the rationale for G&P going back to Weathering Heights? The bad new movie?

 

[terisa]

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

It's not.

 

[Lanie]

That was blah compared to Vincent in Milan imo

 

[once_upon]

It's something about that opening lift, did he straghten his arm fully?

Yep

 

[Karen-W]

What's the rationale for G&P going back to Weathering Heights? The bad new movie?

They said Vincent had it's moment in Milano & couldn't be outdone again.

 

[Matryeshka]

I'd have loved to see van Gogh one more time. I guess conventional wisdom says they couldn't possibly create that magic again they had for the Olys, but that's also what people said about Alysa and Donna Summer and Boston, and well...

Though I do like this program.

Just think, if the Canadian Fed wasn't stupid and hadn't released Laurence, they could have had the Oly silver medalists and World gold medalists.
