Chris said- the Dutch team made it through to the Olympics. Do we know if that is true(He is talking lots of nonsense after all) - has the Dutch comitee given the green light?

They have, I'm happy to say!

wonderful!

Since you seem to be a well of knowledge (is that the right saying in English?) - what about the Swedes ice dance team? Did you get her citizenship and then got the Swedish Olympic comittee to agree to send them?

 

[Karen-W]

That’s what those are?

I hesitated, but since I'm in the market for a new footstool, they do indeed qualify in the ottoman/footstool category.

Where was 95 worlds …… in Manchester? Where it was Nicole bobek.

Birmingham

wonderful!

Yes, it came just last week when she received her Swedish citizenship!

you will be surprised to hear that Annika struggled with the 3sal in the warm-up

But I adore my husband.

 

[Karen-W]

Every single one of these teams as well as GhiAmbro in the next group have the collective ability to get the Icelandic team into the penultimate group for the FS.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I guess Italy had no one to replace Sara and Niccola?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK I have to work for the next couple hours, see u all for the women.. although the candy cabinet is dry.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

As far as suspriciously Russian sounding pairs after 2022 go, Danilova/Tsiba are my favorite.
But this skate is going to put them south of Reykjavik.

 

[Lanie]

made it!

That was mess

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh man. Such a rough skate for Dan/Tsi.

 

[Hedwig]

D/T
3twist okay
sbs 3sal she falls, she already started later than him and rushed the takeoff
nice entry into the throw 3loop and then step out
so Swiss penultimate group!
ohhh now, random fall on her backside in the steps

shit- even stopped a full 4 seconds after the music and did not finish all positions in the spin....

 

[Karen-W]

DanTsi - 3tw - bit crashy on the landing; SBS 3s - and she went down rather than him as one would have expected from the practice reports; throw 3lo - two-footed & fast step out; lift - solid; BODS - decent; step seq - finally a team whose speed matches the beat, and then she falls in the middle of it, yikes... Well, this will definitely go below the Icelandic team; SBS spins - didn't even pay attention. Maybe they'll be better by Milano-Cortina, but I'm betting they don't make the FS there.

 

[TAHbKA]

Tsiba spent the whole morning suiciding on a 3s, he landed one 3s today and it was now. Danilova was clean through the whole practice. The only 3s she fell today

 

[Elisheba]

The Dutch always have the best music with the least use of it.

 

[skatingguy]

Daria Danilova/Michel Tsiba
Coach: D. Savin, F. Klimov, P. Kitashev, K. Schubert
Music: Take Back the Power by Raury

Triple Twist 3 (2 after review)
3S< - Daria fell
Throw 3F - step out
Reverse Lasso Lift 3
Back Inside Death Spiral 2 (3 after review)
Step Sequence 3 - Daria fell
Change Foot Combo Spin 2 (1V after review) - behind the music - Daria stopped the spin early - Michel tried to finish the spin

I was hoping that now that their Olympic spot was guaranteed it would allow them to loosen up, and skate well, but this was worse than the fall. Their going to the Olympics, but they are crawling rather than flying into the competition.

-2.00 = Falls
46.57 = 8th Place

 

[rfisher]

reading the closed caption combination of lyrics and Chris and Tonia's commentary is hysterical. Someone should record it and set it to music. Sadly, it's more entertaining than the skating. And, the coaches are not impressed with their skaters today.

 

[miffy]

Totally random sit down in the step sequence...

 

[floridaice]

Daria & Michel were so messy -- are they undertrained or injured? Or just the stress they've had to get that minimum score?

 

[my little pony]

team Iceland moves up a group

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

It's incredible how Schetinina skated pairs for 30 years only for Michal to become the better half of the pair in half a year.

 

[rfisher]

So, all you have to do to win today is stay on your feet.

 

[PRlady]

Why can’t Chechi etc land her jumps anymore?

Is it randomly picking up music lyrics?

 

[Hedwig]

C/W
3twist
sbs 3toe, she falls
throw 3sal, both hands down, looked very small
nice split jump into the death spiral

I have to say that she does not look healthy at all and I hope that she has support in her coaching team

 

[rfisher]

Is it randomly picking up music lyrics?

Yes and the result is killing me.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Have I used my Wozniak/Jobs joke too many times now to do it in this PBP?

 

[skatingguy]

Ioulia Chtchetnina/Michal Wozniak
Coach: Nolan Seegert, Dmitri Savin
Music: Moderation by Florence and The Machine

Triple Twist 3
3T - Ioulia fell
Throw 3S - two-footed, hand down
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Back Inside Death Spiral 2 (3 after review)
Step Sequence 4

Just a bit tentative to start the program, and it cost them the side-by-side jumps, and the throw. The second half of the program was much improved.

56.93 = 4th Place
