FSU Watch Party Saturday #2: 2006 Olympics OD [12:30pm CDT/6:30pm CET]

[VGThuy]

I honestly think Tanith has the best dress of the competition and I don't really like it.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh hey! TWIZZLES.

 

[Wyliefan]

Wheeeeeeeeeee I was a Belbin/Agosto über back in 2006!

They were one of the first teams I followed!

 

[Braulio]

If looks could kill

EPIC!

Also the Faiella/Scali fall! replicated one year later at europeans in Warsaw!!

Feathers falling to the ice with Galit Chait's dress

This competition had EVERYTHING

 

[her grace]

Belbin/Agosto

-weak leg line
-nice security in their movement
-real twizzles
-Agosto gets the Latin and Tanith gets the
-I'm still a B/A fan after all these years

 

[Hanna]

So close together in the midline steps! Wheeeeeeeeeeee! That was great!

 

[Aerobicidal]

The only team this event made me like more than I already did was Denkova and Staviski, despite the fact that they were a mess.

 

[alchemy void]

Wheeeee! That was awesome.

 

[rfisher]

V/M and D/W really were vanilla compared to their predecessors in ice dance.

 

[Finnice]

Bel/Ag never my faves, but they delivered.

 

[Wyliefan]

Tanith's perk makes the other ladies' perk look underperked.

 

[Dobre]

Belbin & Agosto. Whee! And that got it done for them.

 

[annie720]

Tanith and Lin-Manuel looking good!

 

[mjb52]

holy shit was that a smoothly integrated quote from Kipling's If?

 

[Jeschke]

Thanks a lot @alchemy void
I cannot make it for the Ladies tonight

Everybody have fun!

 

[VGThuy]

For someone so leggy, Tanith had really bad legline and during this point in their career, Ben was dragging her along a lot as she was on flats. But IJS rewarded them for completing itemized elements and they did that.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Lord, Shpilband looks three weeks younger than he does now, but Zueva . . .

I guess you can give less face when your skating can do the talking for you.

 

[Colonel Green]

Speak.
I have no clue.

The lack of fabric in Tanith's top (not even illusion fabric) was a big controversy at the time.

 

[skipaway]

That was good times! Thanks AV for once again setting it up.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Who would have ever thought that Babs would go on to be about the warmest, most supportive coach ever?

 

[VGThuy]

Seriously. I love her as a coach!

 

[shan]

I feel exhausted after watching that last group. Good grief!

 

[Dobre]

Plus, B&A's Olympic medal got us a better commentating team.

 

[Kateri]

V/M and D/W really were vanilla compared to their predecessors in ice dance.

They basically caused a renaissance in classic dance skills and style. For better or worse. #makeicedancesluttyagain

fabric is overrated

 

[allezfred]

Chris saying Belbin/Agosto have a great free dance. I remember this OD, but I literally cannot remember what they skated to for their free.

 

[VGThuy]

If we want ice dance to be slutty, we need the judges to reward another coaching center. We won't be getting it from Gadbois.

 

[shan]

Thanks for putting this together @alchemy void

 

[VGThuy]

It was awful and played against their strengths. They skated a program we all called Flamenco Barbie but because of the FD requirements at the time and the sheer amount of elements needed to be completed and plus it's B/A, there was hardly any time for any flamenco dancing...or any dancing for any of the FDs.
