Carreira/Ponomarenko Need a Cheer Thread

[Rukia]

The program for soi has been shared and Christina & Anthony are skating to Say It Right & Maneater by Nelly Furtado. Very excited to see video I'm sure some kind soul will share (hopefully soon lol).

the people really love a lift lol

Anthony reposted part of a number with most of the guys (Evan wasn't in there as far as I could see) and he can pull off a pretty good single axel on dance blades. I was actually impressed. Can't imagine that's something he has to pull out often lol.

Very cute video of Anthony handing a flower to a very delighted audience member during the mens' number lol

Great to see how much fun they are having with these performances! Such a great growth opportunity too.

I’m so intrigued about their music selections for next season.

As far as the RD goes I wonder if maybe the Chocolat OST could be an option?

 

[Rukia]

Christina just reposted a story of her and anthony doing sbs axels lol us pairs better watch out

 

[Rukia]

In case you missed it, friend of the cpom community sunskate on tumblr uploaded Christina's insta story of her and Anthony working in a ballroom studio in LA during their stars on ice off-days

lol i'm back with an interview this time. They state their goals are a national title next season, bringing home more medals, and aiming for OGM 2030.

 

[litenkyckling]

I think people seem to forget that there isn’t only one team out there that are open with the media about their goals and have been for quite some time!

 

[Icetalavista]

Saw them last night at Wenatchee, Wash (Liam Kapeikas’s hometown) SOI and Anthony looked like he was having fun hamming it up with da US guys.

Christina looked great as usual.

So looking forward to this quad in US ice dance.

 

[MorganaLefay]

Anthony's parents, especially his mom, arguably had the best waltz in da biz. They shld seek advice))

 

[Rukia]

I had the best time at soi tonight. Anthony and Christina absolutely killed it. Even in group numbers their expression and skating really stood out. Such a joy to watch.

New C/P interview, they seem excited for the upcoming season, are happy to have the pattern back and say they have their programs planned out for the next quad.

I'm sure Christina is over the moon!

GP Assignments are out and CarPon have GPdF and NHK Trophy. GPdF field looks like they can easily win silver with solid programs. NHK Trophy field is a bit thicker, but more even, IMO, especially if they have great programs.

 

[Rukia]

I think they're completely capable of beating every other team on the gp circuit currently except fb/c who are probably going to be untouchable rip, they just really have to come out swinging. Everything is going to be so dependent on their programs which makes me super nervous lol. We know they have what it takes though. And they seem confident.

I also imagine they'll take a challenger before gpdf and then between that and nhk. Honestly a bit surprised they are going up so early, but also I feel like maybe they feel the need to really make strong statements early also. Anyway I am cautiously excited but also anxious (so basically same as every year this point in the season lol).

 

[litenkyckling]

I have a quiet confidence that they will nail the programmes this year - I think last year had a lot of stress factors which peobably impacted decision making. But I also think that what they went through last year and how they met the challenges will give them the confidence to do what they need to do. I hope it will give them more trust in themselves and their decisions too. Plus, while shows have taken away training and choreo time, I think it will have had a hugely positive impact on their performance skills.

I think they can show up next season really strong, however, when will they actually catch a break and be given good assignments? They had some of the deepest fields last season, missed out on GPF the year before because of pure bad luck, the list goes on. Meanwhile other teams got much easier assignments last season and this year too.

Missed out on a seeded place in 2024 by less than one point at Worlds, seeded in 2025 but placed in incredibly deep fields and missed out on a seeded place in 2026 because of a single petal falling from a dress. I hope they don't spend as much time being as frustrated as I am for them!!

If anyone is near lake placid tomorrow (yes, I know), Christina and Anthony are going to be featured skaters in the Friday Night Ice Show at the Lake Placid Olympic Center on July 3rd.

 

[canbelto]

You know, I think Christina looks sort of like Ella Bright of Off Campus.

 

[Rukia]

Well they posted stories showing that they worked their fd with mfd in Montreal. Very curious to see what they have planned for us this season (and also a little apprehensive because iam programs are sometimes great and sometimes so beyond meh).

Also sceptical however I do think that this might be different in that they are now the top US team at IAM and MFD has less big teams to choreo this year (namely Bock)

I’ve seen murmurs online of a possible Manon FD?

Whatever was posted definitely started with a M and Manon would fit under what was covered up

Honestly it would be a brilliant choice

 

[Wyliefan]

I was going to ask "Puccini or Massenet?" and then I found out that there's a singer named Manon.

I was holding onto the same question!

Manon the singer was in Katseye, but I think everyone is thinking the ballet (so Massenet).
