GREAT job, Alexa & Brandon!!!

I enjoyed seeing how proud coach Chris was as well as Brandon's "We Love You Todd" sign. Now THAT was worth waking up way-too-early for!

ETA: I didn't realize this was the first time K/F have broken 80 in the SP (previous ISU PB was 77.65 at this season's GPF).

What a fabulous pair comp, I woke up and was able to rewind. I am on the couch anyway with a sprained ankle, so handy for the skating. The Americans were fabulous and deserved first, even though team Japan excelled as well.

Yay for Team Korea making WTT and one last outing of Lim/Quan's fabulous Danse Macabre FD!!!!

 

[4rkidz]

Lim/Quan really have a special quality with their skating.

What a beautiful skate. I can't wait for next season to watch what this team does.

Wow, amazing annotation. I was wondering what parts were new, but I don't know this Free Dance well enough to see the changes.

 

[skatingguy]

Wow, amazing annotation. I was wondering what parts were new, but I don't know this Free Dance well enough to see the changes.

I looked at the protocols from Junior Worlds to see elements they added. But thanks.

 

[Karen-W]

The choreo slide move fit so seamlessly into that program - just remarkable how well that FD holds up in the transition to senior level.

 

[Karen-W]

LopBri - let's hope that this season's experiment with cliched French-ness is over and they'll get back to being voidy French-ness next season.

Redemption skate for them after Worlds. Great to see this program at full flight.

118.52 = 1st Place (110.81 at Worlds)

 

[Karen-W]

Is anyone else amused at their she-coach wearing a beret? I mean, that's all this program has been missing, along with a proper baguette, all season.

Another great skate - really building on what they did at Worlds.

116.63 = 2nd Place (115.95 at Worlds)

 

[Karen-W]

I f-LOVE this POTO program - and I generally hate POTO programs. I really hope KanaDai stick around at least one more season. I like how they're pushing KoKo to improve and making Japanese ice dance better overall!

 

[skatingguy]

I really thought the judges were going to into the 120's for Muramoto/Takahashi after Lopareva/Brissaud scores 118.

 

[Karen-W]

I really thought the judges were going to into the 120's for Muramoto/Takahashi after Lopareva/Brissaud scores 118.

The tech panel made sure that wasn't gonna happen, lol. Their TES dropped a good 3 points on review.

 

[Bunny Hop]

I'm behind as I was catching up on Pairs and have rewound to start Dance, but Korea were great! I would never have guessed they'd been doing Juniors all season had it not been mentioned here.

 

[4rkidz]

Love how the Japanese team bring the passion to the ice.

Solid skate - still some of the same technical issues as at Worlds. Beautiful program, and every move, and element really builds the story.

128.48 = 1st Place (130.54 at Worlds)

 

[Karen-W]

Another program I'll not miss, especially the stupid in-character dancing as they take their bows.

 

[4rkidz]

I think the best outing for Piper and Paul. I think he is the most talented male ice dancer of all.

I thought this looked a bit more cautious than at Worlds. They looked a bit slow, and in a few places you could see the ice coverage wasn't the greatest.

132.34 = 1st Place (131.64 at Worlds)

 

[Karen-W]

Nice showing for GuiFab, but this program, ultimately goes nowhere. They need to figure out how to make their highlights bigger and really grab the crowd and get a reaction. That's always been their problem and I really hope they can figure it out during the off-season.

 

[4rkidz]

The Italians were fabulous, It has really grown on me their program over the season.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Kiss agt end gross. Not fair - many teams can`t do this.

 

[Bunny Hop]

GIlles/Poirier - I still like the waltz section and all the changes of dance holds, and don't care if I'm the only one.

 

[4rkidz]

Chock‘s sliding move in the splits is my favourite ice dance element this season of all the teams.
