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

[tony]

Bombing into everything here, how refreshing. Twizzles that cover distance. Difficult entries and nuances into elements. Lift comes 3rd rather than the end. Deep curves, assured footing and close together.

This should be a CLEAR second if not solely on the PCS, but even the elements were a whole lot better than R/A.

 

[Skaterbob]

Woohoo the real French/Russian #1s!

 

[my little pony]

forever my top French

 

[floridaice]

Evgeniia Lopareva/Geoffrey Brissaud
Coach: R. Hanguenauer, M.F. Dubreuil, P. Lauzon
Music: Daft Punk Medley

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

That was one of their best performances of this program, and it's being reflecting in the scores, and level they're receiving. They seemed faster, and more secure in their skating then in the fall.

Q 82.38 = 3rd Place

L/B

Great ice coverage on their twizzles, excellent basics, he’s really into the quirky choreography—she could give it more

 

[PRlady]

YESSSS. Best RD so far except for the other French if you must. So sharp and accurate and interesting. Yay L/B!

 

[miffy]

Love it! I hope their levels don't get dropped now.

 

[Sally1214]

Loved pretty much everything about that dance by Lopareva/Brissaud. Hope the TES holds.

 

[MsZem]

Give them a bonus for not skating to Ricky Martin!

And all the points for general awesomeness.

 

[susieB129]

Lopareva/Brissaud are my new Rahkamo/Kokko.

 

[annie_mg]

I was worried about L/B at the beginning of the season. She looked so out of it. Today she was fully there. I really enjoyed this. It was clean, fast and original.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Thank you to the French. Lop/Bri are by far the best simply fir not being boring.

 

[Karen-W]

I've come to the conclusion that Daft Punk bores me. I was never a huge fan of ChoBat's "Alien & Astronaut" program and I'm just meh on LopBri's RD this year.

 

[Braulio]

forever my top French

I like the idea of him as a french top totally

[I Luv Bulldogs]

Chris has lost his mind today. And, like Tony said, is proving he knows nothing about ice dance

Is bias is annoying.

 

[Allen]

I remember dancing on the stage at the club with the weather lady from our local CBS affiliate to Blue. She would go straight from the club to do the weather and you can imagine the results.

 

[skategal]

3rd? They should be 2nd. Robbed there.

 

[Sally1214]

SB for Evgeniia and Geoffrey. Good for them.

 

[Citlali]

3rd

 

[floridaice]

How on earth are their skating skills lower than Allison & Saulius?

 

[Sally1214]

And .... here comes Lilah waving the British flag .... quite literally.

 

[Allen]

Boo, no way PCS should have been below R/A

 

[Lanie]

This is nervy and slow

 

[Allen]

This is nervy and slow

And an exhibition program

 

[annie_mg]

They look understandably very nervous, especially her. Should be behind the French but it won't.

 

[susieB129]

Not even watching them. What's the point? Barring any falls from here on out, it's going to be FB/C, F/G and R/A 1-2-3.

 

[PRlady]

Sorry but F/G looked very ordinary after the French.
