2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[Skaterbob]

It’s actually just three tonight

Thank you!

 

[floridaice]

Liu's pants and shirt are SO white (at least on my TV)

 

[Citlali]

Oh no, I'm late

Just this competition and worlds, and we will get rid of this godawful theme

 

[miffy]

I switched to English commentary and why the hell does it sound a lot like someone's hired Simon Reed back?

It is him! I think only the ISU feed barred him but I was shocked as well.

Wang and Liu get bonus points for some out of the box music choices.

It is him! I think only the ISU feed barred him but I was shocked as well.

Today in how the men of figure skating don't get consequences for anything. Think he'll call anyone a b*tch live today?

 

[Hanna]

From what I saw lurking in the TE threads someone has.

OK I am DISGUSTED! He was banned for a reason.

[Colonel Green]

It’s good to see teams using non-English/western music.

Unless you’re Chinese. There are prolly Chinese fans going “why are you using this overplayed dreck?”

 

[Lanie]

They were so slow

 

[ilovesalchows]

I kind of love this music.

 

[MacMadame]

I like that they are skating to music played in China in the 90s. IIRC, back then places like China tended to be about 5-10 years behind the Western world in terms of trends so it makes sense that it sounds like 80s as someone said above.

Also, I don't need @tony to tell me they were crawling when they went past the judges' table. Good grief.

 

[her grace]

Choreo rhythmic sequence had next to no steps, a lot of standing and armography

 

[Desperado]

I'm disappointed I can't get the world feed on CBC Gem like I could four years ago. I can't stand Carol Lane as a dance commentator. Even aside from the fact that she literally coaches one of the teams competing.

Tell me about it! Not a fan of Browning as a commentator either. I would switch to Radio-Canada but it's even worse with the same man commentating for what seems like 50 yrs, blabbing away non stop.

 

[MacMadame]

I see the flower crown fan is at the Olympics.

He's not my favourite either but I will say that he has gotten better since the last time I had to listen to him commentate.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Playing Metronomy in the arena!

 

[Augusztus]

Robin Cousins being so sassy about the choices of music today

 

[floridaice]

Go Phebe & James!!!

Is that Alain aka the soft corn porn voice?

 

[Skaterbob]

Ice about to melt from the hotness.

 

[my little pony]

it's crazy that this George Michael RD feels so fresh by comparison to this sea of Ricky Martins

 

[Hanna]

Love all the color on Phebe. One of my fave dresses this season.

Good skate for Phebe & James. Best performance so far in the first group.

Q 72.46 = 1st Place

 

[her grace]

B/H

Major step up in quality, better knee bend and glide, and refreshing musicality

 

[miffy]

Yay well done Phebe & James! That should be enough

 

[millyskate]

Hi from B9 with @PrivateCitizen and husband! Very excited despite 3+ hours awful music.

Besides the point but is this your husband has @Private Citizen got married?

 

[Barbara Manatee]

These two are a joy to watch.
