2024 GPF - Junior Rhythm Dance

[Rukia]

I actually think the Peals have good glide and decent turns at times, but they somehow simultaneously have very rough skating???? so weird

Every time I see a sister/brother team I 'm mentally shuffling the couples to found them a different partner

Please, don't. FSU as a whole needs to embrace this new definition of the word "visionary" and make it a regular part of our snark.

Time for an annual FSU "Visionary" Award?

Please, don't. FSU as a whole needs to embrace this new definition of the word "visionary" and make it a regular part of our snark.

Everyone in this thread is now committed to this bit and to spreading it to the board. Snarkers, this is your new purpose.

The Peals make me happy when I watch them.

G/S with Matteo Zanni but one (or both?) of them said they are just seeing how things go there, so no official coaching situation yet it seems.

Ilia Klimkin would've worn his outfit back in the day. He wore very similar almost any chance he got.

I would've just kept Reach Out than throwing the slowed down I Will Survive in.

Actually yeah, I don't like the music changes at all. And they, to me, still skate very junior. I know they are in a junior competition, but I don't think they really look senior-ready.

I hear Isabella Flores is possibly in the market for a new partner. On the ice at least.

(kidding - I know nothing about her skating future plans, but just thinking she's short enough to probably be a good match, size-wise with Ethan)

This dress has a lot of thoughts but not one single whole concept.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wow, this RD is Grimm....

she's certainly getting enough cutesy exposure here lol like girl people watching a junior grand prix final know

They said on one of the Anything GOEs GP recaps that they've been splitting their time between Zanni and Margaglio in Helsinki, but won't make a decision until the end of the season.

I would like to update this to say this program also has a lot of thoughts but not one single whole concept.

I am in no teknik with ice dance but I always think they are so so special and cannot wait for them to go Seniors and be Germany No.1!

I always enjoy watching them - like the Fun Finns - those two are my fave couples at the moment.

Me: This year's theme

My non skating watching sister at my side: "I'll be thereeeeee"

The Germans trying to out music cut Chock and Bates

Grimm/Savitskiiy

Really good from G/S! Level 3s on pattern and they controlled their speed and elements better than I’ve ever seen. Well done

 

[Karen-W]

Isabella Flores - taking visionary to levels Shawn Rettstatt can only dream of!

 

[PRlady]

Hated the cover versions of good songs but they’re much smoother than the Peals.

 

[tony]

His face pushed right into her chest on the slo-mo and Mark gushing about how good the shots are. Okayyy.

But the one that zoomed in on Zanni mid-element was good.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Okay, what on earth was wrong with their first RD? Ted is talking like someone got murdered in the middle of it.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Peals are cute, but I can't get passed the fact she's taller and wider than him, and he's a big boy.

What I love about the junior male ice dancers, is that they are so confident in their masculinity, they can wear these shirts and do these moves, and still get seen in public after. Grimm/S are actually much better than the Peals but the patterns were a mess, and this dance is so atrocious I actually enjoyed it.

Why was the Paso Doble chosen as the steps for the 50s/60s/60s RD? Doesn't the Paso Doble go back to the 19th century?

 

[Rukia]

I really want g/s to get deeper in their knees and get more push (especially in progressives and chasses)

 

[tony]

Can we please get our 300th close-up of Flores in the audience after this skate?

He gives Deniss Vasiljevs vibes

 

[Karen-W]

Are WolfTsar going for as many music cuts as ChoBat?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It's kind of wild that Juniors includes teams where both partners are over 20

 

[Rukia]

geez watching juniors makes me wish seniors had more pattern dance in their rd's because it is very telling with regards to like actual dance skills

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I don't know why it is, but doesn't matter what country they represent, if a boy has a russian name, he's destined to look and skate as if he's coached by Kustarova.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Little stumble trying to get into that final pose. LOL.

i'm just going to believe that someone really loves mess

Oh, I totally missed that she was here. What an interesting choice.
