Savelev wins the Elvis costume contest

Ben, Elvis will be in the building for a little while longer

 

[Rukia]

lol i was going to comment on his kissing her hand before taking their places but I guess they are married so

Does anyone in the arena want to tell Ben to save his voice since we can't hear him?

The sound mix is actually pretty good on my phone. Interesting.

Savelev wins the Elvis costume costume

Yi and Savelev both have the superior costumes for this. Her dress makes way more sense for the 50s.

No because then they'll work on the sound.

Tell Ashley too - Please!

Y/S
Pattern dance didn’t really flow across the ice. Twizzles looked ok, though.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, so 2 Elvis programs in and only 1 out of the 4 skaters has a costume that even remotely screams "Elvis"... And even then, the 1 costume screams more "Grease" than "Elvis" if I'm being honest.

 

[floridaice]

Did they just bump heads?

 

[Allen]

Tell Ashley too - Please!

Just tell her to shut it in general.

 

[Braulio]

Right now to go with Elvis is so basic and obvious - 5 GOE for lacking originality

 

[tangerine dream]

USFSA usually likes to promotes their heteros. They must feel conflicted now.

Remember the USFS Evan/Tanith hype?

 

[Rukia]

huh was that rotational lift supposed to look that unsteady???

 

[Theatregirl1122]

No because then they'll work on the sound.

Yes, well, some of us actually find it really irritating to hear quiet muttering constantly under the music.

 

[peibeck]

Yi/Savelev: Least blingy Elvis V2. -5 GOE. More negative TES because they seem rather rough and slow.

 

[genevieve]

This is a better Elvis program - costumes and choreo match the era of the songs used.

oof Daniela almost lost the final pose!

 

[Amy L]

Burgundy is a great color on her. She also should have painted her nails for this so I can get the bingo square

 

[Allen]

I bet Judy Blumberg is tuning out these music selections while she does tech!

I was just about to say that Koncius and Shchepetov brought way more energy to the program. LOL.

 

[Rukia]

oof pattern step base

 

[Braulio]

Rotational lift was all over the place, glad they stayed vertical

It's not a bad ice dance '50s dress, but it's pretty bland and uninspired.

 

[her grace]

Score tracker with max score listed instead of base level. I don’t like it. Makes it look like no one’s skating well even though they likely are getting some +GOE.

 

[Braulio]

oof pattern step base

Totally Agree

 

[Allen]

Marina looked like she just needed a fan pack and a large fountain drink so she could go to the casino after.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, both of these teams are first time appearance at Nats - mark that off your cards!

 

[Allen]

That neon yellow is really agressive.

I mean, at some point you have to accept that costumes cost money and not everyone can afford the most unique and blingy ones, especially in the first group at US Nationals.
