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

[miffy]

4 elements getting reviewed makes me worried for G/P now!

 

[Jay42]

What's the rationale for G&P going back to Weathering Heights? The bad new movie?

They wanted to leave Vincent in Milan so they went back to Wuthering Heights. I can't say I disagree with it but I'll still remember this best for their stellar Montreal Worlds performance.

 

[Skaterbob]

Why are earth did they change their program? That was boring AF

 

[Colonel Green]

Thanks for everything, Piper and Paul.

 

[petro]

I love this team so much. I'm so happy for them.

Same! The first of many World medals hopefully!

 

[peibeck]

A little rusty for Piper and Paul, but great emotion and passion.

 

[Jay42]

It's so weird actually seeing Carol with Piper and Paul. Even when she's not doing commentary for CBC she's not usually with them.

 

[skategal]

Wuthering Heights is so good. I’m so glad Piper and Paul returned to this FD.

No one does mentally tortured as well as Paul.

 

[canbelto]

Piper and Paul appear to be lovely people who've given a lot to their sport.

 

[Sally1214]

Well done by Piper and Paul .... but .... there are a number of things under review. Not counting my chickens (medals) too soon here.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

It's so weird actually seeing Carol with Piper and Paul. Even when she's not doing commentary for CBC she's not usually with them.

I assume it's a "last chance/last season" thing.

 

[Rob]

I don’t know, not sure that was the right decision to do WH instead of Vincent. Very rusty.

 

[Kateri]

Love love love this FD, glad to see it again!

 

[jao86]

Wow, are ZinKol the first non-Russian/Soviet ice dancers to medal in their first worlds?

Shibutanis in 2011.

 

[Citlali]

I love this program, but it looks kind of messy.

Like Heathcliff and Cathy

Paul and Piper

I found the program very effective and their expression on point

 

[Karen-W]

Let's see what the tech panel does with GilPoir. Mark's saying it looks like they're clear.

 

[Jay42]

I assume it's a "last chance/last season" thing.

Honestly for the sake of my nerves every time they compete I am hoping that is what it is.

 

[Vagabond]

Okay. No need to stay for the medal ceremony. I have other things to do, like picking up the dry cleaning.

 

[Private Citizen]

Gilles and Poirier looked like they were thinking through the program, which is only natural I suppose, but I’m glad they’re going out on their own terms. They’re unlucky not to have been World Champions at some point.

 

[miffy]

Dune might win the free at this rate

 

[Karen-W]

LMAO - SmaDie did one better than last year - Worlds FD small silver!

 

[Sally1214]

Phew .... squeaked in there. Yay!

 

[CassAgain]

Olivia and Tim have got to raise their RD game.

 

[Colonel Green]

Olivia and Tim get a small (presumed) silver. Good for them.

Amazing to think how different Piper and Paul's situation is compared to 2022 when most people (myself included) thought they would be retiring.

 

[Skaterbob]

Dune might win the free at this rate

the French could walk off the ice after the first elements and still win the FD

 

[Reuven]

Let the over-marking begin.

 

[beckab81]

Dune might win the free at this rate

Pretty sure that would take a massive disaster with how much judges like to throw points at FB/C

 

[Andora]

Didn't the Shibs, or was that not their first year? The time Igor won the whole podium.

This Marina erasure!

 

[marbri]

FB/C don't even need to try hard here.

 

[peibeck]

Dune might win the free at this rate

I would CACKLE if that happens
