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

[her grace]

Wing/Lowe

-not really feeling the Latin. OTOH, I was sad when it was announced that Latin was the OD theme for 2006 so . . . apparently I get over nothing
-lifts were visually effective, I like the simpler style
-slooooow twizzles

 

[CassAgain]

Our parade of future coaches begins...

 

[Colonel Green]

Tracy: "And we're off to a good start!" Oh, dear.

Credit to Wing/Lowe for persevering through three consecutive Olympic cycles to finally get their chance to go.

 

[ross_hy]

I miss Tracy Wilson's commentary, although Tanith is excellent as well (when they use her, which should be more!).

 

[Jeschke]

BabyKhok!

 

[alchemy void]

This is the era of everyone shrugging and looking confused at their score no matter what it is.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I was late. Now I'll never sync up.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Khokhlova looks like Kool Aid Man's sister auditioning for Showgirls.

 

[Jeschke]

I was late. Now I'll never sync up.

Halfway through LaKhok 1:50

 

[rfisher]

I'm actually loving that we don't know what language or who the commentary will be for each skater.

 

[Jeschke]

So will G/F retire 2022 and Babs will make them comeback for home soil olympics?

 

[rosetintmyworld]

Pleasantly surprised at K/N's dance spin, it doesn't look quite as sad as I know whats to come.

 

[Jeschke]

I'm actually loving that we don't know what language or who the commentary will be for each skater.

Next time. Each of us should get one program to commentate! And no one knows who did which

Imagine the

Khoklova/Novitski

-Already more sultry just in the opening pose
-nice energy in the step sequence
-he cannot twizzle, running 3s
-he-split
-I liked, good work, interesting choreography, and very nice edge quality

 

[Colonel Green]

Great lift position from Khokhlova.

 

[skipaway]

I was late. Now I'll never sync up.

Jump in now for video 3

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh man, this was like the first year I watched skating seriously. I didn't even care about Ice Dance at all, so I did not watch this. I just know that everyone fell + scary babs stare. I also didn't yet realize that TV broadcasts were not live...

 

[meggonzo]

The backing track on that last song almost sounded like the Macarena!

 

[alchemy void]

Khoklova deserved more than one world bronze.

I can't think of a dancer today who comes close to her skill level and camp.

Is it just starting?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Inject Khohklova directly into my veins.

 

[rfisher]

Khokhklova was the original Zagorski.

 

[skipaway]

Russia has produced lots of red heads over the years.

 

[Dobre]

The positions in the dance spins were so not pretty then.

 

[Jeschke]

Oh man, this was like the first year I watched skating seriously. I didn't even care about Ice Dance at all, so I did not watch this. I just know that everyone fell + scary babs stare. I also didn't yet realize that TV broadcasts were not live...

Oh it's great when you don't know who's about to fall.
Enjoy!

 

[meggonzo]

Are we already on video 3? I started late but thought I had FFed enough through Wing/Lowe to catch up.

 

[Jeschke]

Where was Zhuk these days?

 

[CassAgain]

Uncle Dick being all teknik...

 

[skipaway]

Is it just starting?
