@Braulio , hero!

 

[alchemy void]

Wow that Spice Girls RD is so freaking fun!

Obviously I had high expectations after reading the pbp, but I was not let down in the slightest. The music edit is PERFECT, the energy level matched the music, and he looked like he was having just as much fun as her. I also loved the costumes and her hair--total homage to Scary. I will be rooting so hard for Lanaghan/Razgulajevs at Canadian nationals!

And thanks so much for the vid, @Braulio. Appreciate it!

Hunger Games FD by Mironova/Ustenko
I need this for Zach2.

 

[Jeschke]

Slay JvR/S!
Get those NOC standards at least
#TeamD

 

[Jeschke]

I really like the beginning of JvR/S FD with the asian tunes and the slow mid-part.
A shame it turns to the Bond sounds as fast and has so much of the tinkly piano in it. I will never get this choice for them in an olympic season.
This FD feels so generic and kinda flat for their usual standards

Apart from that, I still see a good concept behind the FD and they are looking way more polished than the seasons before. A shame it is not showing in scores though

I really wonder, if they will stay post-season.

 

[Jeschke]

NOC standards. Half of it at least.
Congrats.
No more chances left though

 

[Jeschke]

Loved the Elton John medley by Bratti/Sommerville.
So much fun, awesome concept.
Ian's rose cheeks are everything He jast gave it all!

 

[Jeschke]

If you like them or not, M/D have come a long way and fought the hard battle for their dreams. This has not been an easy route for them.
Congrats for achieving the goal in the end! Beijing is waiting!

Don't they have SGP FRA coming up?

 

[Jeschke]

Don't they have SGP FRA coming up?

How the hell could I missed they are in?
Did they get in as a sub for another team?
Where they in fom start?
Wheee, hope lives on....even when it's more theoretical hope

They were well hidden but on from the start. Hope they get the score once more and make at least official substitute.

I had to work and missed ALL German teams

Catched up with German teams (stream was still live and I could rewind ).
Actually I don't remember, weather I watched L/P at Nebelhorn or not. That week is for some reasons a bit blury. In any case I like both programs. The RD is one of my favourites this season.
JvR/S - like their FD better than RD, miss their off the main stream choices in FS.
M/D they are getting better. I'm distracted by their performance, mostly Dieck's

I don't get the GOE of Smart/Diaz. Adria had some difficulties today to my non tech eye, and still they're not far behind F-B/S GOE-wise, who looked a lot better to my eye.
Davis and guy - they're growing on me.

That was a whole emotional journey Olivia went on after that fall. First she was laughing, then she looked really upset for a while, then she ended up laughing again.

 

[Dobre]

That was a whole emotional journey Olivia went on after that fall. First she was laughing, then she looked really upset for a while, then she ended up laughing again.

Wyliefan, in response to your earlier question:

At the 2017 Autumn Classic, Smart & Diaz finished 4th and Fournier-Beaudry & Sorensen finished 7th. (F-B&S finished behind McNamara & Carpenter and Lauriault & LeGac there as well). It was a rough go. Likewise, S&D got creamed about a week earlier that year at the U.S. Classic, finishing 7th to F-B&S's 4th place finish there. (S&D also finished behind Soucisse & Firus and Garabedian & Proulx-Senecal there).

Back in the days when it mattered whether or not you blew your levels.

[winterchik]

Laurence FOURNIER BEAUDRY / Nikolaj SORENSEN the starts of this competition !!! in all areas

 

[Frau Muller]

Davis/Smolkin 4th here. No sekret push for the conspiracy theorists. Just a nice expected finish…no miraculous jump up the intl ladder.

 

[maureenfarone]

I was going to watch the Senior Women again as I was distracted during the competition but I can't seem to find the FS on the list of available videos. The FS would be on Day 4 between the Mens Comp and RD but I can't find it. Weird!

 

[Frau Muller]

There may have been some music copyright issues. I watched live. If memory serves, Ryan had to stop and resume the show through a new stream before the penultimate group.

Also, Ryan was commentating and said some funny things (benign to most ears but maybe offensive to others…such as trying to find a date for the zamboni driver…”If you’re interested in connecting, write to www.lonely-eismeisters.com…”…LOL.)
