Great performance, and strong skating through the whole program. No real weaknesses in the elements, and a nice reaction from the crowd. Good score for them in probably their last even of the season.

Q 77.88 = 4th Place

Random thought while I think of spending 3 hours in Prague in March listening to this kind of music. Why, ISU? It's not like it was a decade of good music. The 80s? Sure. But there was nothing special about the 90s....

I love that by the French. They have really come a long way. Those twizzles were amazing!

 

[PRlady]

You can always trust the French to French aka bring something voidy that no one else even thought about.

Loved that. And they seemed much more into it than on the GP.

Theo ain’t no scrub.

D/LM bringing the blade work. Twizzles very close together. Not sure I understand the program concept

 

[Lanie]

These people literally have one button to push and competition after competition there's some issue.

It’s organized so poorly and the laptop I used earlier was old and would skip the music

Not surprised it happened tbh

 

[skategal]

I wonder which former (or current) member of the Bloods gang designed their costumes?

 

[Hedwig]

Just imagine if we did not have Tonia commentating, we would not know that the scores between 2nd and fourth are close. Very close.

[Karen-W]

Did Chris just call Loicia "Latoya"?!?!

 

[Hanna]

Ugh I'm already getting a bit emotional that for some of these teams it's gonna be their last Euros. And in ice dance careers are long so it feels extra hard because many of them have been around for a decade or even longer.

 

[miffy]

Ahhh I'm so nervous for everyone now

 

[MsZem]

Just imagine if we did not have Tonia commentating, we would not know that the scores between 2nd and fourth are close. Very close.

She has also gone out on a limb: the RD will be won by either F-B/C or the Brits!

 

[Debbie S]

Why has Charlene not changed her costume?

 

[Hedwig]

She has also gone out on a limb: the RD will be won by either F-B/C or the Brits!

that is so interesting. I am so glad we are so lucky to get in depth analysis

 

[Karen-W]

Why has Charlene not changed her costume?

They've decided to go out in a blaze of glory and not take any advice to change their costumes?

 

[Debbie S]

They've decided to go out in a blaze of glory and not take any advice to change their costumes?

More like an implosion.

 

[Marta24]

Can't believe G/F are going to the Olympics with a Backstreet Boys RD.

 

[skategal]

I agree Saul is too sexy for his shirt.

He should just take it off….

 

[tony]

Fun but flashy

I don’t know that I’d have this in the final group but into 2nd they go.

 

[viennese]

Why has Charlene not changed her costume?

I see she's doubled down on the icky American Apparel sport socks. Well.

 

[my little pony]

if slow and clunky is sexy then ok

 

[Karen-W]

That TES is going to be hard for SmaDie and LopBri to beat if it holds.

 

[miffy]

Very fitting having one of our PSOTY winners skate I'm Too Sexy

 

[Skaterbob]

Can't believe G/F are going to the Olympics with a Backstreet Boys RD.

I mean.... Uno, dos, tres is the other option.

 

[skatingguy]

Allison Reed/Saulius Ambrulevicius
Coach: M.F. Dubreuil, P. Lauzon, R. Haguenauer
Music: I’m Too Sexy, Cantloop

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

Continuing a strong season with another strong performance, and though the choreography is not as intricate as some other programs they executed everything sharp, and clean.

Q 83.08 = 2nd Place

 

[Braulio]

So Allson will come back to the Olympics after 16 years right? or did she skate in Sochi?

 

[Hanna]

At least R/A won't be in the same group with G/P for the RD at the Olympics, I suppose.

 

[her grace]

R/A really are a masterclass in synchronization. Smooth, but slow

 

[Hedwig]

I mean.... Uno, dos, tres is the other option.

probably no one told them!!

 

[Lanie]

They’re fun and he’s hot so it’s okay they’re slow
