NHK 2023 Rhythm Dance - Big (GOE) in Japan

[peibeck]

Sorry to bitch about them again, but Rocky FP is too damn long. It might have been better as their RD

Except the movie came out in 1977 or 78.

 

[Colonel Green]

And now, the bronze medal battle begins (also Euros preview!).

 

[FiveRinger]

Hmmmm... until the midline step sequence, I really felt like DemLeM could have been skating to any music and there wasn't much '80s there. It also doesn't help that her dress is so contemporary.

Well....I figure if L/B skated to Snoop Dogg last season (I think) D/L can have this. The costumes miss the mark, though

Coach did not look happy, then saw the score and smiled.

 

[Wyliefan]

Neither did I for.a while. But when you think about it, if the top two Canadian teams retire in the next couple of years, they're sitting pretty. They could be Canada #2 (or #3 if B/B should pass them).

Second part of my answer: Les Gacs may have looked at the up-and-coming French teams and seen the writing on the wall.

 

[FiveRinger]

Except the movie came out in 1977 or 78.

There were enough versions to fit the 80s in there somewhere

 

[Theatregirl1122]

So, I want Reed & Ambrulevicius to medal. Don't judge me.

That's okay. I'll balance you all out by having not even wanted them to medal at Skate Canada

Wow, so with Gabriella and Guillaume out of the mix France finds itself with two good teams… And also two in the women’s competition

and two in the men’s…

Level 4 posing.

My 4 month old grandbaby has a Guns and Roses T shirt, so I am down for this.

Three -- Dupayage/Nabais are doing well. And there are some promising teams in juniors as well.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I will say, I feel like R/A understood the assignment better than most, at least thematically.

 

[tony]

He does a lot of cool transitional stuff in the program, but I think they are overmarked. Especially in their FDs. The vibe was cool but there's just something missing.

 

[Matryeshka]

I feel like the Lithuanians and the Georgians should switch RDs. I don't quite buy GnR from R/A, and I don't quite buy Queen from K/R, but I like the idea of both.

 

[Wyliefan]

Those hanging strings all over him are horribly distracting. I kept wondering if something was coming loose.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

right. And then with Kevin and Adam and some improvement in pairs needed… It’s looking interesting.

 

[peibeck]

This is cleaner than their first GP, but these +GOEs are kind of cray cray.

Mes bébés - Mouaden & Bigot!!

+4.50 GOE for the Choreo Sequence. One of the reasons why I love Reed & Ambrulevicius - They don't need great edges or smooth close skating to get GOE - they just have to be as entertaining as all hell.

 

[genevieve]

they definitely win for music editing so far

Seriously, Saulius was living this whole program.

 

[once_upon]

I think someone passed out national flags.of all the teams competing and tge audience is qued up to display them at the right time.

 

[Rukia]

oh his twizzles are bad in slow motion let's pretend I didn't see that

 

[FiveRinger]

My knees hurt watching this replay

 

[Karen-W]

Hmmmm... so, Ted misidentified the lift as the last element and now I'm thinking that would have been a stronger ending to this RD than the character step sequence.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ted tells me to "take a close look at their edges." I suspect they'd rather I didn't.

 

[thvu]

78.71

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK, so will they win bronze or the Lithuanians?

 

[Colonel Green]

Operation Win a Medal Somewhere Other Than Finland.

 

[Matryeshka]

I don't necessarily object to R/A being in the lead, but I do by that much. That's INSANE.

 

[Wyliefan]

I kind of love her skirt or tutu or whatever that thing is
