Oh, gosh! Where is @MacMadame to give us one more round of Chris Howarth Bingo?!

Team Cosmos
Coach: Alena Mayorova

No Hold Element B + s1
Move Element 2<
Twizzles Element B
Artistic Circle 2
Intersection 2 + pi2

I think it's pretty clear that this is a low level team. The skating skills, and precision were not there, but they are at Worlds for the first time, and it's a huge learning opportunity for a young skating program in Turkey.

22.00 = 1st Place

Team Jingu Ice Messengers
Coach: Tomoyo Sekiguchi, Yasuko Uchida
Music: You Haven't Seen the Last of Me (Burlesque soundtrack) by Cher, Diane Warren, Matt Serletic

 

[kosjenka]

I have to say i love this arena for skating. I need to put some prayers to have the Euros here!

 

[kosjenka]

I wish I knew more on how teams come up with team names. Jingu Ice Messengers Sounds so cool!

Artistic Circle 2
Twizzle Element 4
No Hold Element B + s4
Move Element 3
Intersection 3 + pi3 (3 + pi4 after review)

Huge jump in skating skills from the first team, which we would expect with a top 10, and skaters from Japan in general. Nice skate, and strong performance.

59.90 = 1st Place

How many arenas are there in Zagreb that can host Euros next year?

One Way or Another (2001 Remaster) by Blondie
Call Me by Blondie
Call Me by Sebastian Bohm

 

[kosjenka]

Many Canadian fans in the arena supporting their team. Feels like home worlds if am honest. Not sure i like this since it is MY home and I just watched Montreal Worlds LOL

 

[kosjenka]

If only Canadian single ladies had this level of sass.

 

[kosjenka]

To you watching the feed, what are the camera angels like? I see some of it and it looks a bit strange. Too many close ups.

Move Element 4

Artistic Wheel 2

A lot of power in that performance both from the choreography, and the skating. Really strong performance for so early in the event.

72.09 = 1st Place

These costumes seem so wrong after a full season of Olivia Smart's sapphire blue vinyl unitard to the same music, lol.

Yes, we're not getting the best angles on the formations at times.

"Jura Synchro is a specialised online media company. Launched at the beginning of 2016, it is devoted to synchronised skating news worldwide through the publication of journalistic articles, photos, and video reports. It is the first worldwide media dedicated exclusively to this team sport practiced on ice."

The unique vocabulary of synchronized skating!

Craving for a peek behind the cultures of our ISU Senior teams preparing for the Worlds? We asked them of the quirks of their skating language, and got responses that spoke of creativity, vivid imagination, and individual coaches’ influence – but also of similarities between the teams.

I have to agree on this. Still the program was sold so kudros!

 

[kosjenka]

I am not sure I want to express how I feel about Imagine.

The Dutch have nice speed. I will give them that.

Team Ice United
Coach:: Feline van Kempen
Music SP/RD: Imagine by Davina Michelle

This is dedicated to those of us who were feeling empty and bereft after a week of Worlds in Montreal and no Beatles covers.

BTW - I just realized Imagine really is the original tragic, emo song.

No Hold Element B + s3

-1.00 = Falls (1)

Good skate for the Dutch. Not the power of the Canadians, or the precision of the Japanese, but they had some nice quality in their elements by keeping the formations very clear.

49.35 = 3rd Place

I’m here - normally don’t watch synchro but I’m not having a great day. However, I can sit on the couch and snark and look at pretty costumes.

Team Starlight Elite
Coach: Eveliina Lundman, Laura Zenklusen
Music: My Friends and I (feat. Prob Cause) by GRiZ, Grant Kwiecinski, Colin Grimm

[quartz]

I like the Swiss costumes, the music, not.

 

[kosjenka]

OMG
So Croatian team is skating to MARIJA MAGDALENA the ULTIMATE Eurovision HIT from 1999 in Jerusalem!
