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

[tony]

By the way, this should be the team we see in the Olympic team event RD after Uzbekistan officially gives back it's pairs spot.

 

[Elka]

Can't believe we have 3 dance teams here. Might be the only time in history

Euros 1994 in Copenhagen

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I was focusing on work and thought 2 couples in a row had the same music. That was a weird thing. Why the restart?

NM. it was 2 in a row. Was Interchangeable couples part of the new plan to make ice dance fun?

 

[Skaterbob]

Are we going to have 3 in a row?

 

[Allen]

Somewhere, probably in row 5 or 6, Rettstatt is envisioning how he can bring back a set pattern to Everybody Dance Now, thinking about which team to pull the required steps from.

They could use some of the Aunt Viv choreography from Fresh Prince lol

Would the pattern have real required steps and holds that everyone has to do? I could live with that

Sofiia Dovhal/Wiktor Kulesza
Coach: S. Nowak Trebacka, M. Spodyriev, D. Popova
Music: Gonna Make You Sweat, RITMO

Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:2 - Wiktor struggled with balance on both twizzles
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence B
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

Wiktor may have had a bit too much energy in the twizzles, and struggled to maintain control. Good speed through the program, and they varied their performance level to match the music.

53.34 = 5th Place

[tony]

Are we going to have 3 in a row?

No, just 3 Ricky Martin programs in the next group alone.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Are we going to have 3 in a row?

Welcome to 1996 OD.

 

[Skaterbob]

Welcome to 1996 OD.

I haven't slept and this seems like a form of torture.

 

[skateycat]

The Carleton and only the Carleton.

 

[skateblessing]

I know I shouldn´t be surprised because it´s usually is like this - but these scores and levels are so brutally low

 

[Skaterbob]

That scene is pretty much my favorite one from that entire series. Close second is when Hilary stops going to school and she has to bark/compliment Will at the dinner table when she is getting blackmailed.

Carolane warming up for her shift at Hot Dog on a Stick. She only needs the hat…

 

[Sally1214]

Hi all
I slept in a bit today and am just joining in now for group 3. Rhythm Dance is one of my very favorite parts of skating. Looking forward to a really fun day.

Was there anyone REALLY good in the first 2 groups I should rewind and watch when I get the chance?

 

[tony]

Soucisse and Firus have one of the best RDs of the year, far and away. Telling you now.

@Jeanine says they are spot on for 90s Dublin

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Myself and the Straubs have went to totally different 90ies parties.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I'm having trouble integrating this information.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh no .....

 

[miffy]

With a few notable exceptions I'd like remixes to be banned. (From life, not just skating).

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

I feel like even Ricky Martin gave up.

And now Austria gives Israel a present.

Anita Straub/Andreas Straub
Coach: Galina Churilova, Pavel Laurencik
Music: Bailamos, Maria

Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:3
Choreo Rhythm Sequence - Anita fell right at the end of the element
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Rotational Lift 4

Andreas is quite tall, and a bit stiff in the upper body. The fall on the rhythm sequence will cause some issues for the judges as to whether they considered the element completed prior to the fall or not.

-1.00 = Falls
54.07 = 5th Place

/vapid comment

His neck is freaking me out, I can't look away.

I think it is actually the collar of the costume.

 

[skatingguy]

And now Austria gives Israel a present.

The Austrians were not a threat to the Israelis.

Feed lost bleh

And it's back. Maybe someone unplugged the feed cord or whatever happened at Skate Canada some years ago.

 

[PRlady]

Annnddd Peacock loses the feed… it’s back.

 

[miffy]

Germany look like they just went to Cyberdog for their costumes
