2026 Olys Free Dance PBP - Whale, Are We Ready For Some Bull Sheet Scores?

[Lara]

THe choreo slide One of the best moves of the season

Sets the mood so well. I wouldn’t want a third season but I’m glad we got a v2.

Who knew there were so many sequins in the sand dunes.

DH did a desert side trip when he went to Egypt. He said that the sand was so shimmery at sunset that it looked like sequins on gold lamé.

Who knew there were so many sequins in the sand dunes.

It's meant to emulate the mirage you see traversing the desert!

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Very good GOE scores on the choreo slide and lift.

GO, MARJORIE AND ZACH.

 

[beckab81]

I don't care that they're not in hold, or that they might wobble on edges every now & then. The highlight moves are incredible & well timed to the music, and I'm consistently entranced by this program.

 

[Citlali]

¡Muchas gracias! and ¡Gracias a todos! from the spanish champions

Is something I guess

 

[millyskate]

OK I'm loving this highbrow program choice in a sea of lowbrow choices. It's refreshing

 

[terisa]

Who was it who said that Zach was balletic in that butch Canadian way of being balletic? Cos they are SO right.

 

[Karen-W]

Zac should have kept the TE FD look instead of going back to the loose, flowing tunic today.

 

[MacMadame]

I love their creative lifts.

I love how they show off her strength as well as his.

 

[rfisher]

Ah White Crow always makes me sad that Kolyada couldn't skate his clean at his last Olympics because it would have put him on the podium. Alas. I think it's cursed and whoever skates to it will not win.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Tracy just informed me that Zach is a classically trained musician so you can "feel the music oozing out of his body."

That sounds like a serious (and gross) medical condition that he should get looked at.

 

[Habs]

LaLa are glorious. I’m an unapologetic uber, but they deserve to be world champions.

Strong skate, but another reused program not having the same impact that it did the first time around.

RD: 79.66 = 9th Place

Aw, that was lovely

The crow curse is real, doesn’t matter what color.

 

[Wyliefan]

TES lower than S/D for now -- let's see what happens.

 

[Private Citizen]

A study in contrasts compared to Smart and Dieck. I prefer L&L and their style by a mile, but I think this specific program was a mistake and a miss the second time around.

 

[rfisher]

Corvids be bad.

 

[Sally1214]

Marjorie and Zach: That was truly a beautiful performance.

 

[Aussie Willy]

L&L - Beautiful program. They really hit the nuances of the music with the smallest of movements. Like dotting the i's. It is lovely to see.

 

[overedge]

Hey CBC people who we know are reading this thread - these ads on Gem are repetitive and fecking annoying. We want to see the program highlights, not this annoying crap.

 

[pat c]

Sweet to get to see dune and lala back to back. Time flew. Love lala.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

He doesn’t want to be constantly reminded of his parents achievements…he wants to be known for his.

I know what it means? I just want Johnny not to say it at least twice per broadcast. I'm tired of hearing it.

 

[Kateri]

The crow curse is real, doesn’t matter what color.

What if someone performed to The Crow soundtrack, though? Wouldn't that be awesome?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I'll always wonder what the LaLa's planned Bach FD was like. Great performance even if I hate Zach's shirt.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

In my book LaLas are better than Olivia/Tim but what do I know.

It's meant to emulate the mirage you see traversing the desert!

More like the mirage in between their highlight moves . But can’t deny it’s effective.
