[Wyliefan]

Nice to have a decent time zone for us U.S. East Coasters for once.

 

[victorskid]

The first warm-up is underway and we have Ted and Mark together in person again

 

[Kateri]

Nice to have a decent time zone for us U.S. East Coasters for once.

And British people who had to work this morning but just got home!

 

[Wyliefan]

I always enjoy the Straubs. Anita has so much personality.

 

[her grace]

Straub/Straub

Nice spacing through the midline, but think edges could be deeper, nice twizzles, camerawork is not great, negative GOE on Quickstep, pleasant program--I wonder why they chose Latin (when they didn't have to) as a brother-sister team. The program is very tame, which, of course, it has to be since they're siblings

 

[her grace]

Lanyi/Gallai

Wait, are these actual Hungarians? I've gotten so used to the Hungrussians filling out the entire roster. Blue unitard from her, blue vest from him, nice knee bend through the Quickstep--negative GOE though, twizzles turning slowly, nice rotational lift, young team, and I think there's more expression in both of them that they will tap into as they mature

 

[Karen-W]

Nice to have a decent time zone for us U.S. East Coasters for once.

It's not even too terrible for those of us on the West Coast either!

 

[her grace]

Stapert/Korotcov

nice twizzles to start, getting the key points in the rhumba (3 yeses) , think they could extend the legline more, composed performance, he had big grin after the final lift went well

 

[beckab81]

Tech panel took a long time getting the twizzles called, but looks like with will be a good score for the Americans. I wish she would switch to a black top, or at least match the shade of red in the skirt, because I found the disconnect very distracting.

 

[her grace]

Stefanovova/Boeris

sparkly dress from her, gold and black striped sleeves from him, level two twizzles, nice flow through the Rhumba but lacking precision in the blade placement, look quite comfortable out there performing, now need to deepen the edges and clarity

 

[her grace]

Sznajder/Novak

2 keypoints for Rhumba, kinda far apart on twizzles (level 4 and 2), "Dance!" song from Center Stage, there's an ease to their movement and expression that is appealing

ETA: great job scoring into 2nd place, really liked how they integrated performance quality with the elements. Impressive JGP debut!

 

[Elisheba]

Jachym Novak likes to mug at the camera and I'm into it.

 

[beckab81]

Do we have 2 Jock Jams programs coming up (based on costumes)?

 

[her grace]

Homick/Buelow

good unison through Rhumba, but no key points, big expression, nice twizzles, just more to do with cleanliness and clarity

 

[Wyliefan]

Fun skate from Summer and Nick, great connection, but a lot of low levels.

 

[Wyliefan]

Back-to-Backstreet Boys.

 

[Elisheba]

Klaperman has really mastered 90s heartthrob hair

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh crap, Samuel got too close to the wall and went down!

 

[her grace]

PG/BK

Backstreet's back-to-back! good speed through the pattern, got too close to the wall and he fell which messed up both rhumba and then carried over to negative GOE for Quickstep, a little out of sync on the twizzles. Well, that's the very definition of a disruptive fall.

 

[Wyliefan]

That fall is going to kill their score. Tech is really low.

 

[her grace]

Well, I'm sad. They themselves

 

[Wyliefan]

They go into 4th. With a good FD, though, they should be able to climb back up.

 

[her grace]

In other news, Backstreet Boys is killing the Backstreet Boys v. *NSync competition for having music used.

 

[her grace]

Sundberg/Gonzales Elvira

twizzles a little more effortful, but done, soft knees through the Rhumba, doing a good job of hitting the beat of the music

She's a former synchro skater

 

[beckab81]

In other news, Backstreet Boys is killing the Backstreet Boys v. *NSync competition for having music used.

That isn’t a huge shock to me - NSync only had one album released in the 90’s, and a lot of their biggest hits came in the 2000’s. BSB had 2 albums in the 90’s, including Millennium which I think was their best performing album. Just from living thru their heyday, I associate NSync with the 2000’s more than the 90’s.

 

[Wyliefan]

Great energy from Soldati/Tagliabue. Twizzles looked a bit cautious to me but they got their level 4s. Tech looks good. Dark horse for the podium?

 

[her grace]

Soldati/Tagliabue

Isn't Everybody Dance Now 80s? nice twizzles, level 2s on midline--good for them, good stationary lift though only level 3, fun program

 

[beckab81]

I liked the Italians! Were they really only 3rd at Italian Jr Nationals last year?

 

[victorskid]

The first 2 groups (of 4) are complete and the ice is being resurfaced.
