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

[tony]

This should be struggling to qualify, but probably going in above Soucisse/Firus.

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.

I feel similarly about a couple who is definitely medalling tomorrow...though they have become much cleaner and of course they have many other qualities.

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

I dunno, maybe someone in the crowd at their concert?

 

[Debbie S]

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

I'm going on Gabby's statements in the article posted early this morning in the GSD thread.

 

[Karen-W]

Yikes. Behind Val/Kazimov. Score is fair considering the fall.

 

[Elisheba]

uno, dos, tres, for ****'s sake.

 

[Skaterbob]

Everyone take a shot, i don't care if it is 10am!

 

[Braulio]

[Braulio]

Pattern LEVEL 4

 

[PRlady]

Cripes, couldn’t the Serious Finns have done some moody Nordic dance music? This just doesn’t suit them.

Ricky Martin’s gonna buy an island with skating royalties this year.

 

[Lanie]

I would be so drunk if I were drinking every Ricky Martin RD

Why are we being tortured like this?

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:3
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:2 (W:2 M:2 after review)
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

High energy is not really their comfort zone, but they executed the elements well, and possibly our first level 4 pattern dance sequence of the event. And it's already a level 3.

Q 78.59 = 2nd Place

 

[my little pony]

if Ricky Martin ever files a copyright claim we have to shut down completely

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

How many Ricky Martin's is this now?

 

[annie_mg]

I just loved the middle part of that dance!!! Loved the choreo. One can tell they didn't compete in the autumn though. She is fire. Madison Chock vibes.

 

[her grace]

Great musicality from T/V, nicely expressing the beat

 

[tony]

Twizzles 4/3
Pattern dropped to 3
Midline 2 (dropped from 3)/2

 

[MsZem]

How many Ricky Martin's is this now?

Yes.

 

[Karen-W]

All I can contribute is that I remember seeing prom dress sewing patterns with a similar string lace-up back during the late '90s, so her costume at least feels very authentic.

 

[tony]

How many Ricky Martin's is this now?

8

 

[skategal]

Another RD by that unknown artist Ricky Martin.

 

[Skaterbob]

Ocho!

 

[PRlady]

Nooooo. I loved Davis’ baggy pants.

 

[annie_mg]

Omg what on earth, wrong music. How unprofessional! TWICE!!!!!!

Her pants scream 90s.

 

[MsZem]

WTF is up with the music, do they only know how to play Ricky Martin?

 

[skategal]

I like Gleb’s guyliner
