2025 World Team Trophy - Day 2

[Karen-W]

This arena lighting is quite unkind to both Piper & Paul. The amount of grease he's got in his hair is super-obvious, and her makeup is very heavy, lol.

Madison CHOCK / Evan BATES
Coach: P. Lauzon, M.F. Dubreuil, R. Haguenauer
Music: Round Midnight, Take Five

Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Spinning Movement
Synchronized Twizzles W:4 M:4
Dance Spin 4
One Foot Turns W:3 M:3
Diagonal Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Choreo Twizzling Movement
Curve Lift 4
Choreo Character Step Sequence
Stationary Lift 4

The elements are great, but the whole doesn't quite give enough. Still a strong skate - sharp, and clean skating.

133.51 = 1st Place

 

[PRlady]

Well another victory for Maddie and Evan. If the Canadians and Italians had decent programs it would have been more competitive.

 

[Karen-W]

Are any of us really going to be sad to see any of the FDs go after this competition is over? I think not.

But, I'm guessing we'll see another SB for ChoBat today.

[kwanette]

The French team dumpage is in full effect regardless of some tight spots for him.

I fear this team is going to way of Moniotte and Lavanchy once upon a time, only to show up to the Olympics next year and finish outside the top 10..

I posted that elsewhere

 

[Sally1214]

Hi all
I'm here to watch the men's fs live. Will catch up on what happened while I slept later on today. Sure is a gorgeous day here today ... just perfect to watch some skating.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Good morning. I might have to turn in my FSU card because my attempts to wake up for the free dance failed!

 

[MacMadame]

Hey, I remember this program!

 

[MacMadame]

inelegant pop.

 

[Karen-W]

Hey, I remember this program!

Same, but I have a weird memory of it also being a bizarre mashup, so I'm feeling apprehensive, lol.

 

[MacMadame]

Same, but I have a weird memory of it also being a bizarre mashup, so I'm feeling apprehensive, lol.

I just want him to skate well enough that he's happy.

 

[Karen-W]

packed to the gunnels

Chris' definition of "packed to the gunnels" and mine are dissimilar, lol.

 

[skatingguy]

Morisi KVITELASHVILI
Coach: E. Tutberidze, D. Gleikhengauz, S. Dudakov
Music: Fly Me to the Moon, My Way

3S+3T
2A
1T - not an elegant pop
3Lo
Flying Camel Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
4T< - fall
3Fq+1Eu+2S - Euler covered a step out of the flip
3F+1A+SEQ - sloppy flip landing
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 - loss of speed (2V after review)

-1.00 = Falls

Clearly not trained, or in competition shape.

120.27 = 1st Place

 

[MacMadame]

On the replay, I am calling the 2T on the combo an elegant pop.

 

[tony]

On the replay, I am calling the 2T on the combo an elegant pop.

He didn't do a 2T in combo?

 

[MacMadame]

Some of this music is from a movie.

 

[MacMadame]

He didn't do a 2T in combo?

Whatever it was. It was supposed to be a triple and it was a double and looked like he popped instead of intentionally downgraded.

 

[skatingguy]

Nikolaj MEMOLA
Coach: Olga Romanova
Music: Modigliani. Le di a la Caza Alcance, Memorial

4F!q - fall
3A
4Lz - big step out
3Lo
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
3A+1Eu+3S
3Lz+3T
3F+2A+SEQ - flip landing was awkward, off-balance
Flying Sit Spin 3
Step Sequence 4
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

A bit of struggle in this event for Memola - just not finding the balance in his jumps today.

158.17 = 1st Place

 

[beckab81]

I guess he wanted to get the quad flip out in competition, but I worry such a messy skate could hurt Italy's chances at bronze. Better here than at the olympics though!

 

[tony]

Edge warning on the Lutzes, now edge warning on the flip I think Chris said. The new Levito.

 

[Karen-W]

Nikolaj & Daniel are gonna give the FISG heartburn all off-season, wondering how they'll be doing in another 9 months, lol.

 

[Sally1214]

Go, Aleksa!

 

[Karen-W]

I never knew I wanted to see Aleksa's Halloween shirt again after 4CCs.

Oh, wait. I still don't, lol.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Once again a Joanne McLeod skater is 3A challenged.
