Papadakis CIzeron #4 - Happiness Does Not Wait

[sap5]

But the separations are counted in PCS, right? So long as you're considered a good skater in general, you really shouldn't lose points for this, I would think.

 

[chantilly]

But the rules do say that more and complex dance holds are considered more difficult and should be rewarded in more points.
However I don't know if one could argue that's been the case.

Well, the category where this is assessed is under "Transitions" (one of the program components) and so it is sort of a bullet point if a judge sees a "variety" of holds.

Does anyone know how to move this conversation to the Dance Hall thread? Apologies for the highjacking.....

 

[Enchanted]

I think I read in some interview last season (or earlier) that they like to build the choreography step by step, adding more content along the way.

So, if this is still the case, the program should look a bit different by the time of the Olympics.

I don't think there is anything wrong with his top. Seems like his take on an understated ballet blouse to match her understated dress.
I´m becoming amused by all the costume critiques in the various forums that I am reading. I understand when a costume doesn't match a theme or is really unflattering on a skater ruining their lines and detracting from the choreography but this looks like a very typical Guillaume style and very much him.

ITA....and it also seems firmly in place...I don't think there is enough play in the material to have a faux pas there....I am sure it will be properly tested & if necessary dble sided tape will be added.

I prefer Papadakis and Cizeron by a trillion to Virtue and Moir but as much as I love their Moonlight Sonata, I do worry that some might just think another lyrical program from them and maybe some won’t think it has the same impact that Moulin Rouge has. I’m sure Moonlight Sonata will grow though as the season goes on.

Oh, I think it will. It is a wise and thoughtfully selected piece of music, imho. What they can do with it and where they can possibly take it...

 

[clairecloutier]

Well butt crack or wedgies certainly don't, so why would the nipples be discriminated upon

Actually I think Wang/Wang got a costume deduction for a wedgie at 2016 Worlds.

But that was pairs. maybe they just expect these things in ice dance.

Did you see Aliona & Bruno's free at Nebelhorn? She had such a wedgie she looked bare-bottomed in their ending position!

Snippet of the SD, intertwined with interviews. They are really close in the twizzles, and the transition shows . Also you see how Romain works on the quality of the arms and the attitude . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNxDFG_uRKM

FAST twizzles and such lovely deep lobes and edges. They are at Finlandia this weekend, yes?

Yes indeed but the stream is 9 Euros. Let's hope for a YT video.

Starting order for the tomorrow's short dance is here.

Yes, we can usually get videos from Finlandia (at least in the past we always did) Clips of the SD look great.

Did they ever charge for the stream in the past?

Not that I recall....

But I think there is a free livestream this year too. Try this website

Oops...that is just for Friday...apologies. Do you know what I do? I print or save the start orders and then watch them on YT in the order they skated. That way, you still have a small element of surprise, lol.

 

[arakwafan2006]

Wow on those twizzles

Those are serious deep edges, the lean is to die for. They might kill the pattern as well to Dave Lease's great dismay

 

[justtojoke]

Gotta appreciate the lean and body shaping

 

[VGThuy]

That is an excellent picture of those two. To add to the appreciation of that lean and body shape, love Gabriella's pointed toe.

 

[gk_891]

Yeah, that edge/lean looks amazing. Especially his.

 

[cocotaffy]

I hadn't noticed the pointed toe but it does look great. Her dress makes me think of a brazilian carnival, must be the colors. I image her dancing on top of a float in Rio de Janeiro.

 

[allezfred]

Live stream less than the cost of a mediocre lunch and the quality is fab. Looking forward to watching the new programmes in high quality!

The short dance

 

[kittysk8ts]

Woohoo! Love the SD! They look so happy. Well done.

 

[muffinplus]

They are awesome as usual. I just hate the music...

 

[jenny12]

In spite of the music, I think think were they were excellent. Their smoothness is to die for.

 

[skatesindreams]

Their "future prospects" look wonderful, IMO.
