2025 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance PBP - Spice Up Your Live(Barn)

[Lanie]

I'm watching on Peacock. I should just turn on my VPN.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So, navels are a-okay now, right. I've been watching skating so long I can remember when bare navels were banned ... granted it was at a time when the Russian female dancers weren't wearing much more than fig leaves and pasties

To give us a break from decades dances, the IDTC will make fig leaves and pasties next year’s RD theme.

 

[VGThuy]

I wonder how Michael is feeling today. Will be interesting to see them again and her 1960s dress. I think they can top the shibs in the rhythm dance…

I think like 10 American teams can beat the Shibs in the rhythm dance at this rate.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh, I thought this was gonna be everybody by Black Box, not this new kids stuff.

 

[floridaice]

Those are some shiny pants

I think like 10 American teams can beat the Shibs in the rhythm dance at this rate.

Lol

And I just saw the seasons best for Katarina and Dimitri, so I guess they can too.

 

[Wyliefan]

Dimitry's costume looks like something Vera Wang would have tried to put Nathan in, causing him to run to Kohl's and grab something off the rack instead.

Her first twizzle really went up on the toe at the end, the third had a small balance check. Not very close together.

And we are right back to high school Glee productions of 90s hits with the US teams, I see. BUT much better options for BSB than Guignard/Fabbri v.1

Tsarevsky cute butt

Tsarevsky cute butt

And really that’s all that matters.

 

[Karen-W]

Man, you know the Shibs were bad when they're getting beat in TES by the Jr World silver medalists.

 

[my little pony]

the line between real skating and blades of glory is pretty blurry at this point

 

[Sally1214]

Going against the grain here but I like the BSB and enjoyed Katarina and Dimitry's performance.

 

[Skaterbob]

Tsarevsky cute butt

Yes.

 

[peibeck]

Wolfkostin/Tsarevski: very good job for their senior GP debut. Closing lift was brilliant.

 

[thvu]

I liked that. Guignard & Fabbri need to take note of a GOOD RD to the Backstreet Boys.

Twizzles were good, but far apart. I liked the no touch steps when I wasn't looking at the actual steps .

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

It’s been 8 years since the shibs completed?

I mean with Guilaume it’s only been what 4? And LFB has been competing as of a year ago.

I woulda thought that the Shibutanis would do as many challengers as possible to try and get competitive if their goal is to be on the Olympic team.

 

[PRlady]

Dimitri doesn’t get the shave memo but I like watching him anyway, he’s cool.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Tsarevsky cute butt

Would you like to be VP of the harem?

 

[Wyliefan]

Ohhh boy. Into first.

 

[Braulio]

Can´t believe Jen is the 32-year-old one and not him

 

[Braulio]

Would you like to be VP of the harem?

That would be my honor

 

[my little pony]

is this shirt on Benjamin really what men were wearing in the 90s? if yes, I can see why I blocked it out

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m not really digging this Marshalls shirt.

Don’t the queer eye boys have a production in Germany?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

the line between real skating and blades of glory is pretty blurry at this point

When we get to the 2000s RD year, a team needs to skate to Dance Sucka from Blades of Glory and the circle will be complete.

 

[Wyliefan]

Jen and Ben always look like they want to be dancing in a jungle cruise ride at Disney World.

 

[Lanie]

audio is shite on ISU stream on YouTube now too

or maybe YouTube is mad at me for pretending I'm in the UK so I can watch the ISU stream

 

[peibeck]

JvR/Steffan: Another great lift to close, but they are sloppy and frenetic to me.

 

[VGThuy]

The Shibs brought retired skater competing at Japan Open for funsies energy to a serious GP event in an Olympic year. Think of Irina Slutskaya scoring a 69 for the LP at the 2013 Japan Open.

 

[skatfan]

Peacock.

The sound is also terrible on the ISU channel. At least for me.
