2026 Olys Rhythm Dance PBP - Livin' La GOE Loca

[miffy]

Barbara loved it I'm so glad she made it to the Olys, she's been so entertaining.

 

[rfisher]

So, which judge is brave enough to take on all the Italian fans in the arena and put them out of medal contention?

ETA: apparently more than one

 

[Bunny Hop]

Guignard/Fabbri - My dislike of this program may be affecting my judgement but they seem slower than the preceding teams, and there's a lot under review. It was fine, I guess? Belinda saying mostly L4s.

 

[Skaterbob]

With every RD finished, I'm just so grateful we'll only see them one more time this season, and not even all of them, at Worlds.

No! Say it ain’t so! Edited lol I dunno if you meant the skaters, programs or both. lol

 

[Karen-W]

Alright then... TES is below ZingKol AND ReedAmbru... PCS is coming in and I suspect we're in for a shock here with ZingKol beating them today.

ETA - nope, I can't do math this afternoon. They managed to remain ahead of ZingKol. But they're not in the bronze medal hunt without errors from both GilPoir & FearGib.

G&F's RD remind me of the Van Waldenbergs from Blades of Glory. She just needed to throw a cigarette butt.

In fact now I think they should have skated to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. In fact why has no-one done that?

They reminded the SNL cheerleaders from the 90s.

Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrell.

Italians really feeding off the arena energy, which suited their dance.

I have to say, they skated very lightly to some heavy music, and I appreciate that.

 

[beepbeep]

Italy’s check better cover today’s events as well.
Home cook all you can.

ETA: crap…

TBH belonged below Z&K but knew the judges wouldn’t do it.

Plus we have Junior Worlds, and for some reason the juniors have much better RDs than the seniors.

 

[Smiley0884]

Love the footage of Babs dancing along, I was too lol

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I have nerves.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

I saw someone say online over the weekend that GuiFab's Backstreet Boys program was basically the epitome of the Steve Buscemi "how do you do fellow kids" meme from 30 Rock and they were not wrong.

Chock very glittery. FSU should approve.

 

[tony]

First twizzle was worse than usual on her part. not a hater, it didn’t move outwards and actually did come to a stop

Ah it was you! Thanks I wasn't sure if it was here or Reddit.

 

[ilovesalchows]

This dancing in place part is so cheesy and just very 90s too.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I wonder if anyone told C/B that when they were told to skate to the 90ies songs, they don't have to skate to all 90ies songs.

 

[Andora]

I can't tell if this feels slow, or I'm massively projecting because of reported blade issues with C&B.

Her dress feels more Cavalli than before, and I love that.

 

[Habs]

Are they as slow as the seem on TV?

 

[once_upon]

I'm not sure what could make Evan look a "bad ass- bad boy vibe' but it's not working
Don't know any gal out for a super club experience would bypass him.

Pattern step 4, under review

 

[Aussie Willy]

Chock and Bates on fire. Pretty perfect. So tight and together.

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:3 M:3
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Choreographic Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

This is going to be close. The performance was good, but maybe not as good technically as during the Team Event.

89.72 = 2nd

Chock/Bates says “Who needs sleep?”

Great job!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

They had the blade issues fixed.

 

[tony]

Are they as slow as the seem on TV?

They aren’t crawling but they don’t get any momentum from any pushes, it’s all very staccato and I think a lot of it has to do with his upper body not doing much work.

 

[MacMadame]

I like her positions in the RotLi. They have L4 in the Pattern Dance but it's under review.
