[Colonel Green]

I’m surprised by Fear/Waddell’s presence here, seeing as they train in Montreal. If it was workable for IAM teams to cross the ocean to compete here, did none of the other teams there want to?

 

[Jeschke]

Janse van Rensburg / Steffan have withdrawn according to german fed IG.

Steffan is injured. He has an inflammation in his ankle since 6 weeks and they could almost not train on the ice in this time. They hoped to be ready in time but unfortunately, are not.

A shame no dance team skating on home soil (especially as M/D seem to be in O right now)

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I hate to do too much costume snark this early in the season but this will be more fun when she goes full disco costume.

 

[Braulio]

Stephane/Arianna, skating to 'Hot Stuff + Last Dance' very steady for a season's debut! so much energy and technically improvement already, he can twizzle fast! last rotational lift so much speed.

yes, a shame. Tim was here yesterday, apparently they are reworking their short and are not ready...

Fusar-Polli loses some of her sparkle when you can't see her red, red lips.

 

[Elisheba]

Dolly Parton!

 

[rfisher]

The sound just echoes in an empty arena.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Dolly Parton to gospel and back to Dolly

 

[Braulio]

Jakucs/Galli
Liked the step sequence with good edges from both, a small mistake in the twizzles. Another couple coached by Barbara that looks well trained even though this early in the season. Great debut for them and looking promising

 

[Colonel Green]

What is this team’s connection to the Netherlands?

 

[Catherine M]

Stephan Walker has improved so much. See its never too late to make a change in your career path.

 

[drfj]

What is this team’s connection to the Netherlands?

one is hungarian the boy is from Italy and the are skating for Netherland

 

[rfisher]

Man bun aside, Caffa is a I was as he was singing along to War. And what a music mash up! He needs a new partner ASAP.

 

[Braulio]

Lagouge/Caffa
Twizzles a bit unstable, first element of the program. Don't know if the music suits the rhythm/beat of the finnstep sequence as it looks not on the beat IMO. Comparing with previous couples the french look not that ready.

 

[sus2850]

That was a strange music cut by the French.

 

[Colonel Green]

one is hungarian the boy is from Italy and the are skating for Netherland

Hence my question.

 

[Braulio]

and the french go into first! well...

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Are Fear/Waddell stuck at home and not able to train back in Canada?

 

[rfisher]

and the french go into first! well...

It appears the judges think he's a as well.

 

[Elka]

A mistake? They are listed as HUN in ISU skaters' biographies.

ETA: Under HUN, but NED written as country.

No, as Netherlands

No, they were in Canada as recently as the IAM Live broadcast a few weeks ago.

 

[Elka]

No, as Netherlands

[Braulio]

Fear/Waddell
Singing in the rain. Twizzles ok but slow. Step sequence much of the same too. Oh my that finnstep sequence was off timing and her edges not that good, her posture bothers me a bit. Good rotational lift. They skate with confidence.

 

[Colonel Green]

Doing the absolute minimum for costuming here.

 

[rfisher]

Popova was one of the least convincing slutty Sandy's ever.

 

[Braulio]

Popova/Byelikov

Just in case you missed 'Grease' music here u have! Not that secure looking and missing energy to skate to the upbeat music, looked cautious. Twizzles almost crashing in the begining. Not impressed with them, but given judges look to be judging by name/nationality I don't know what to expect

 

[Braulio]

Popova was one of the least convincing slutty Sandy's ever.

she could be Danny or whatever, very uninspiring attitude
