JGP #3 - Varese ITA - Ice Dance RD & FD

Sznajder/Novak

Flamenco, nice twizzles, some sharp crisp movement, a little far apart at times in circular steps, curve lift took a while to get in position and got negative GOE, put a lot of energy into the program and they look very tired
 
Stapert/Korotcov

Les Miz, good twizzles, felt like they settled in and started interpreting after the stationary lift and twizzles, level 2s on one foot turns, nice choreo slide move at emotional point in music, nice connection at end and will want to continue to develop that emotional expression throughout program. Nice technical base to build on.

[Insert grumble that they should have been on JGP last season for experience before being a medal contender team]
 
Soldati/Tagliabue

black costumes, love the matching legline in the one foot turns (level 1s, though), didn't look as comfortable in midline, nice straight line lift to rotational lift, he struggled on twizzles (maybe she did, too, only level 2s from both), felt like their choreography matched the music and was interesting and dynamic. As the program went on, the body movement became less refined and more ragged. I think they were stronger in the RD.
 
Soldati/Tagliabue - it was good until the twizzles which were beyond sloppy - perhaps the program construction failed here in putting such an important element so close to the end.
 
Robertson/Rohner

nice twizzles, good levels on one foot turns (2 & 3), hitting their levels like a good Igor team, think she's carrying the team on expression and would like him to develop more in that area, nice speed and nerves of steel from this brand new team!
 
Well, that was quite lovely from RoRo. It's crazy how talented they are for the short time they've been together.

Medal ceremony to come.
 
I’ll be happy with R/R and Abo/Ves in the final. Prefer the two top French teams to the top Canadians (sorry!) Next week I can’t watch so will look for commentary here.

This music slightly overwhelms them, and I think the theme was too much for 17-year-olds, but they had some quality elements.

Eniko struggled on the twizzles by doing an extra rotation on the first set, and one fewer in the second set which hurt their score today.

76.93 = 9th Place

Pleasant skaters, but lacking in speed, and power. Nice use of the music, and choreography that works for them.

The performance was a bit stiff, and that really showed in the curve lift as Jachym struggled to get Diane into position, and then get himself to one foot. I look forward to seeing this program again with more training time.

It's got to suck to look at the standings, finish 3rd & 4th but end up 5th. They are so close to that Junior Grand Prix medal and I think by next season they will be firmly in the mix.

84.91 = 4th Place
142.68 = 5th Place

A fun program, and another one that I look forward to seeing again with more time in training for them. The twizzles were a bit of a mess, and cost them a medal.

84.57 = 5th Place

Enjoyed the skating. Watched the medal ceremony - those teeny tiny 2nd & 3rd place blocks were so ridiculous the skaters almost had to stand on each others' feet. Loved how dressed up the medal presenter was - not.

Some nice things going on in the program, and they portrayed the emotion very well. A bit lacking in some of the skating quality in some areas.

Very solid skating, and the program has grown in the past few weeks. I do wish that Igor didn't give all his teams the same few pieces.
