Finlandia Trophy 2025 Rhythm Dance "I Really, Really, Really Wanna Zingas"

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow the scoring has been quite odd across multiple disciplines since the first stop in angers ….is making it difficult to be a figure skating fan. I’m not even a big Uber of Diana and Gleb and that score is ridiculous. It’s becoming a downer to hear about level one, level, one, a Q, a Q, a Q, a UR but then when it comes to mone nothing lol. Anything positive to say about the programs judges, to keep fans interested? It’s like having a spouse that just nags at you lol.

And I still can’t get past the fact that Mone is not getting deducted for anything.

At the first Grand Prix in Angers even Ami had a short program score like near 80 without any triple axles or quads, which was a ridiculous score as well if I remember correctly.

OK what is Natalie crying about here? Do they skate to the wrong music that was played? Lol what’s happening now?

 

[Braulio]

Come on guys, we never noticed that was not the supposed edit/version! for me it was the same that at NHK

 

[Karen-W]

Was that an F-bomb?

Oh, definitely. They're upset over some music issue.

 

[CassAgain]

Was that an F-bomb?

If they really did play the wrong version of the music, we'll allow it.

 

[Allen]

Any other year Taschlers' RD would have been like forgettable middle of the pack program. This year it feels like an actual masterpiece on comparison.

I didn't hate it.

It's not bad. It feels more Latin than 90s, but I guess that's okay too.

 

[PRlady]

The Shibs are doing better because everyone else is getting worse!

 

[Braulio]

And the Shibs will skate in the second group

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Tim's chest screamed "Freedom!" and escaped the shirt.

WTF is this music?

 

[MsZem]

I need a drink to sit through this.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I want Maurizio to cheer me up the next time I'm down.

He of all people knows what it's like to be publicly shamed.

 

[slicekw]

I’m sorry but after hearing the original George track, this is weird.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m not a big dance expert. Where is the required beat in this lame George Michael song.

 

[ilovesalchows]

This would be more effective with chimp masks.

 

[peibeck]

Dieck looks like an extra in "Cruising" and Olivia is doing drag "Evita."

Holy tempo being sped up.

 

[tony]

Olivia looks exactly like Viktoria Helgesson when the camera isn't close.

Quite a big distance between them in almost every element, but we already know this team is all about vibes that usually hit.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m sorry but after hearing the original George track, this is weird.

Lol I just had the same opinion.

 

[Karen-W]

Better than CoC - one of the few L2 calls for the pattern step element. Let's see if that TES holds.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Holy moly, she does look like she’s channeling Eva Perón …. well without the half dozen tattoos.

 

[peibeck]

This tech panel needs to get out on the ice and show these amateurs how to get a level 4.

 

[Citlali]

Well that kept my attention Given the theme this year that is really something

 

[skatingguy]

Olivia Smart/Tim Dieck
Coach: R. Haguenauer, M.F. Dubreuil, P. Lauzon
Music: Freedom, Let Me Entertain You

Sequential Twizzles W:2 M:4 (W:3 M:3 after review)
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Curve Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

They re-worked the pattern dance sequence to address the knee-slide fall that Olivia had in China. Nice performance level throughout, but still another team that is receiving low levels in the steps, and twizzles.

76.07 = 2nd Place

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

If I closed the eyes and treated this program just as a soundtrack, in which Michael Jackson for some reason sings "Freedom", I could somewhat appreciate the 90ies representation.

Didn't like anything that went on the ice from the "Spaniards".

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK as many of you can tell dance is starting to make me cranky. Lol.

 

[Braulio]

Partial step level 2, twizzles level 2 for Olivia

TES was a bit lower than French but if twizzles were level 4 then the spanish would have better technical score

They looked better than at China

 

[Allen]

This tech panel needs to get out on the ice and show these amateurs how to get a level 4.

Did Candice ever get level 4?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

ZingKol for a medal pleaaazzzzeeeeee

 

[Kaz7714]

I still have to check several times when I see this new version of Tim Dirk....props to him for stepping up .

 

[cholla]

I am pretty sure I have spent more time in Georgia than the entire Georgian team combined.

Me too and I've been there only twice.

 

[Braulio]

76.07!

And the TES didn't change so it was with a twizzle level 2 then

 

[Sally1214]

I actually liked that from Olivia and Tim. Music and costumes. I seem to be having a better time than some of you today. They said "Let Me Enterain You" ... and I was entertained.
