2026 Worlds Free Dance PBP - Whale, That's All Folks!

[CassAgain]

At the risk of sounding desperate for medals ..... out of the 10 people in the last warmup group, 4 of them (Piper, Paul, Lilah and Laurence) are Canadian citizens, right?

If we’re doing that, Piper is half American and contributes one point to make up for the costume deduction.

Mark trying to explain ice dance judging as if it was a science without politiks.

 

[miffy]

Gutted for L/B Does anyone know if they will stay in? Maybe it will depend on what FB/C do

 

[shan]

They're behind R/A in the FD???

That's crazy...

 

[marbri]

Lopareva and Brissaud would nail Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.

No. Under Ice and Waking the Witch would be soooooo good for them to do

 

[MacMadame]

Mark trying to explain ice dance judging as if it was a science without politiks.

Except he's not explaining at all. "How will the judges mark these two different programs?" I don't know, Mark. You are the ice dance expert. You. tell. me.

 

[canbelto]

Z/K are totally going to have a P/C-like rise up the standings, I can just tell.

Possibly Guillaume too. He had PR years ago and has said he will make Canada his home but no confirmation if he continued on to citizenship.

 

[Vagabond]

Mark is getting on my very last nerve.

I will be organizing a recovery program next week for those of us who need it.

That's crazy...

Without the costume deduction for CarPon, they'd only be ahead of them in the FD by .03 - but I'm one of the people who hasn't cared for the Bjork FD all season, so I'm not bothered by them losing to ReedAmbru or any other tea for that matter.

Are you claiming the whole podium then if they all make it?

I think I'm just going to make up my own rules here. "Half" doesn't count. Why? I'll use the same reason my mother used on me: "Because I said so!"

I did write trying to explain. He couldn't succeed because it's not cut and dry and involves vibes and bias.

 

[Sally1214]

Yes, I was planning on doing that.

 

[Wyliefan]

Emilea's hand movements. You diva it up, girl.

 

[canbelto]

I love their rotational lift wow. The one leg? Amazing.

 

[Jay42]

I do like ZingKol's Romeo and Juliet more than BekHern's but ultimately the best R&J that had the potential to be here was the Swedes and they didn't make the FS.

 

[Wyliefan]

Bravo!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, ZingKol did what they needed to do, along with CarPon, to keep the USA's 3 spots.

 

[Matryeshka]

So I did for my duty for democracy and am back in time for the final group. Saw the placements and holy hell what happened? What pictures do R/A have to be so high up? What happened to CarPom? WHY are L/B marked SO LOW.

 

[Private Citizen]

Great job, Zingas and Kolesnik. Judges are always suckers for speed and these two FLY across the ice. They still have tons of room to improve, too.

 

[Jay42]

Good to see ZingKol continuing to nail their FD. It's going to be so much fun watching them over the next quad.

 

[annie_mg]

Silly me, I should have brought a Cypriot flag. Someone was smarter than me, Cypriot flag spotted in the audience!!!

 

[Lanie]

My dad is texting me his opinions

 

[Firedancer]

I love this team. They are so sharp. I can’t wait to see them continue to get better and better

 

[peibeck]

Well that should hold Z/K's placement. They're likely only to move up with mistakes from the top three teams.

 

[marbri]

I am sure, as with the Olympics, they will get a seasons best with mostly L2 steps....

CarPon had a 1 pt costume deduction for a flower petal that fell on the ice, otherwise they'd be ahead of ReedAmbru.

 

[Vagabond]

Oh, are CarPom here too?
