2026 European Championships - Rhythm Dance - "No Steps Please, We're Shittish"

[Skaterbob]

I have to say that I just rewatched Laurence and Guillaume and I was all about Laurence this time around. I think she is popping.

 

[my little pony]

my actual biological Finnish children

 

[terisa]

The FD thread title absolutely MUST have "Dem-a-goo" in it...

 

[Karen-W]

Both of Loicia's names are a real challenge for Chris to pronounce correctly.

 

[Hanna]

The Taschlers had better make the top 10!

 

[Allen]

Yuka is going to get arrested for dealing crack.

 

[Aceon6]

Natalie is gorgeous in that dress.

 

[Hanna]

Taschler twizzles so close together.

 

[Debbie S]

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but what happened to the Mrazeks?

 

[tony]

Insanely close on that final set of twizzles.

I already know it's an unpopular opinion because I have most of Skating Reddit saying I'm so nasty towards Margaglio's teams, but I think he just doesn't know how to put together serious and strong programs for his skaters. I think these two have regressed quite a bit this season after their move.

 

[Allen]

I am sorry, but the Taschler's should have done something non-Latin. There are plenty of things that could work for a brother/sister team and this isn't one of them.

 

[tony]

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but what happened to the Mrazeks?

He's ill

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was pretty decent from the Taschlers. Love her new RD dress too, huge improvement over the one she had on the GP.

Natalie Tascherlova/Filip Taschler
Coach: M. Margaglio, N. Brown, M. Scali, S. Parkkinen
Music: Waiting for Tonight, Be With You

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:3
Straight Line Lift 4
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

High energy performance. Their speed seemed more harnessed in this performance, and they got some strong levels as a result.

Q 77.33 = 2nd Place

 

[Citlali]

Taschlers had a lot of energy

 

[tony]

Well, that was pretty decent from the Taschlers. Love her new RD dress too, huge improvement over the one she had on the GP.

It's the same dress she used at Finlandia I'm 99% certain.

 

[Braulio]

Finally the best they have skated this program this season

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I have so many of my husbands coming up.

 

[Allen]

I am glad they skated well, but I didn't enjoy the Taschlers at all

 

[Braulio]

77.33 massive

 

[Karen-W]

It's the same dress she used at Finlandia I'm 99% certain.

It may very well be. I couldn't recall for sure if they'd changed her dress between their GPs, just knew that I'd seen the original one twice during the fall.

 

[rfisher]

It's not about "promoting a scandal", it's about reporting facts in the news. If their stated reason for dropping Gabby is her objectivity, then they should endorse standard journalism practice.

Have you read their stated reason? I haven't seen any statement from NBC posted here.

 

[Citlali]

Oh no

 

[Braulio]

Yuka is scary/ginger spice mix, but Pirinen? I can't see any posh, sporty or baby spice there

 

[tony]

Those twizzles were rough, they both made similar mistakes on the opposite rotation second set.

All vibes. Not much skating quality. Or edges. Or clean turns. They bring something fun to the sport but for what I enjoy, they don't have much of it.

 

[PRlady]

Oh no Fun Finns lost the whole element. And of course they’re good at this.

 

[her grace]

Fun Finns basics are so weak—should be behind the Swedes. And I thought this before he fell during the pattern.

 

[my little pony]

FINN # 2 performance 10 - do not come at me with facts about levels and falls

 

[skatingguy]

Yuka Orihara/Juho Pirinen
Coach: Maurizio Margaglio, Neil Brown
Music: Spice Girls Medley

Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:3 (W:3 M:2 after review)
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:1
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2 - Juho fell
Straight Line Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

Crowd pleasing music selection for obvious reasons. The fall on the pattern dance sequence will be very costly to the score both technically, and in the presentation.

-1.00 = Falls
Q 64.99 = 8th Place

 

[miffy]

That's a shame They seem so sweet and always good fun. I also like their music cuts better than F/G's Spice Girls RD because they don't have as many annoying remixes.
