Gold on Gold: Lajoie & Lagha Cheer thread!

[ginsengtea]

Finally got a chance to sit down and catch up with everything after a lot of traveling. Beautiful skate from Marjorie and Zach in the FD. I really love all the upgraded and new elements, standouts to me are the ChSp, the twizzles, and the new dance spin (her positions are sooo stunning, best in the business for me). Shame about the ! in the choreo steps again, that’s probably around 7-8 points in TES they lost across the entire competition on choreographic elements, but anyways I’m sure they will work on it before Skate America.

Also anyone know why they got the lower levels on the twizzles and dance spin? I was scratching my head at that.

Also this longer interview which essentially confirms they changed their FD after HPC.

the twizzle was a mystery to me as well, i thought they might pirouetted in one of the sets but the first one looked really good to me with lots of coverage, and the entry was really difficult

That might be it, though to me it’s kind of a harsh call if it was. I guess we’ll see at Skate America if they make changes with the spin.
