Thread title excellence continues.

 

[Colonel Green]

I hope IAM has enough bribe money left over after supporting FB/C to also help Smart & Dieck get bronze here, so Lajoie & Lagha can go to the Final.

 

[skategal]

I’m here and just had my internet upgraded so all looks great now.

Managed to catch Pairs SP before the technician came.

 

[skategal]

Laurence’s bustier looks like frosting on cupcakes.

 

[Marta24]

I really appreciate the Finnish Fed giving us this line-up at the last GP of the season.

 

[PRlady]

I really appreciate the Finnish Fed giving us this line-up at the last GP of the season.

It’s the best lineup this season!

 

[genevieve]

Laurence’s bustier looks like frosting on cupcakes.

I hate her costume almost as much as Schilds’. It’s better constructed but it’s hideous.

OTOH I lurve Phebe’s dress

 

[skategal]

Looking forward to seeing the Browns RD again.

One of the best of the season.

 

[skategal]

Shibs up first.

I like this RD too.

 

[thvu]

It's starting!

 

[slicekw]

Such a crazy group of RD skaters.

 

[my little pony]

I would buy this RD costume from the Shibs if they are looking for their next venture

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Well, Shiibutanis solved the copyright problem by taking music that no one will admit owning.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I see Sparky Pulastri's been peddling this program again.

 

[tony]

Certainly not terrible. Twizzles second set went a little far apart.

To me he seems like he's more or less all the way there and letting it happen and she's holding back just a bit. Nothing to do with where their skill level is right now but she's just extra tentative and it takes an extra split second to get into position or get moving. Even the rotational lift just looks like okay we did it rather than selling it, and the score is low for it.

Pattern steps 2 from Rettstatt was the best anyone got last week, and even that was only one team or maybe two IIRC.

 

[slicekw]

Ok, I’ve got the text dialogue on my screen and it kept typing “muthaf**kin” on my screen.

Massive improvement on the first twizzles. Not sure the energy is where it could be, hoping it will be at Nats.

ETA: tony nailed the analysis. See #20 right above!

Maia Shibutani/Alex Shibutani

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:1
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

Much stronger than at NHK with more speed, and flow through the elements.

71.99 = 1st Place

 

[skategal]

The Shibs must be in good shape to get through that. It doesn’t STOP at all.

 

[thvu]

The judges are still lowballing the Shibs' GOE on every element. I would have been +1 more than the judges on almost all the scores that popped up.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was better for the Shibs from NHK. Those are some nice GOEs they received. Guess we've got another bronze medal contender.

 

[my little pony]

shibs RD is my favorite or one of my favorites of this season (where the bar is in hell) but it needed to be aired out before the GP

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

The Shibs much improved since NHK. Also, I must state again that I hate having a choreo sequence in the RD. Shouldn't the entire RD be about choreography?

 

[Braulio]

Much better than at NHK

though some levels still low but they are improving, send them to Golden Spin USFSA

 

[tony]

Well, that was better for the Shibs from NHK. Those are some nice GOEs they received. Guess we've got another bronze medal contender.

Those were not nice GOEs!

 

[ilovesalchows]

I actually love this program, one of my favorites from this horrific theme.
