PGE Warsaw Cup 2024 - Warsaw POL - Nov. 20-24 (with RD and FD!)

[her grace]

Beautiful yellow dress for the Italian—Peggy Fleming could have worn

 

[Wyliefan]

Tali/LaForn are going to have clear sailing to the top of the Italian pecking order.

I had been thinking so too, but now it seems like Manni and Roethlisberger are starting to edge closer. We may end up with an Italian rivalry on our hands.

[Rukia]

Did they change the "Oh those Russians" bit? Sounded like it said something else, but maybe the audio was just weird.

Going back to this someone else has said it sounded like it said "oh those dancers" now which if they changed it I'll be really sad lol

 

[Karen-W]

Well, the panel is trying to call things generously... How many teams have gotten a PSt4 call this season? Despite that, Emilea bobbled on her twizzles and only got a L3.

I thought I saw a 4....hope it holds!

 

[PRlady]

I love what happened to Nikolai. He really found his niche.

 

[Rukia]

i said this on bluesky and this may be a hot take but majorov is the best out of the singles skaters who switched over to dance

 

[Kateri]

not controversial, imo! he's like the anti-Takahashi.

 

[Karen-W]

Levels mean nothing, lol.

 

[Karen-W]

not controversial, imo! he's like the anti-Takahashi.

That's a little harsh. Takahashi was considerably older when he switched to ID.

Also, it's a little sacrilegious to invoke the name of Takahashi in a Warsaw Cup thread. Justice for Warsaw Cup 2021 ice dance scoring!!! How else would DavSmo made it to the Olympics?

 

[PRlady]

And Dai accomplished a lot more as a singles skater! His ID days were just dessert.

 

[Kateri]

That's a little harsh. Takahashi was considerably older when he switched to ID.

I don't mean it as a diss, exactly! Just, like...

indifferent singles skater -> unexpectedly great dancer
vs
amazing singles skater -> unexpectedly indifferent dancer

 

[Kateri]

And Dai accomplished a lot more as a singles skater! His ID days were just dessert.

He's my all-time fave! I was happy we got to keep seeing him.

 

[Karen-W]

I think this is the first time I've seen the #2 Swedish team - they're not too shabby for a team that are converted singles skaters with a coach who has no ice dance experience.

 

[Karen-W]

Les Gacs have new RD costumes! Much improved from the ones they had on the GP!

 

[Rukia]

if fabbri/ayer skate up to their potential they should pass les gacs at canadian nats

 

[Karen-W]

Of course, she also completely biffed her twizzles, so they still don't want to assert themselves as Canada #3, lol.

 

[taz'smum]

Of course, she also completely biffed her twizzles, so they still don't want to assert themselves as Canada #3, lol.

and missed a lift I think

 

[Karen-W]

and missed a lift I think

Well, they missed a connection in their choreo step sequence to open, but it wasn't a lift per se.

 

[PRlady]

That was rough in general. Which is a shame since the concept is good and they’re much more entertaining than the alternative.

 

[Marta24]

That score is rough.

 

[Rukia]

lol her face after he gets up and leaves

 

[Kateri]

I don't understand how Lim/Quan's music uses two massive anthems, but manages to miss out all the big, emotional crescendoes from both pieces? It never goes anywhere.

 

[Debbie S]

And they used covers for both.

 

[Kateri]

And they used covers for both.

What's really funny is that from their bio, they DID use Gloria Gaynor... covering the Four Tops.

[Wyliefan]

I'm not watching, so I shouldn't say anything, but it's hard to grasp JvR/Steffan going ahead of Lim/Quan on PCS.

 

[Kateri]

I'm not watching, so I shouldn't say anything, but it's hard to grasp JvR/Steffan going ahead of Lim/Quan on PCS.

It's hard to see past the clashing outfits, but JvR/S skated very well. I love L/Q, but I'm not sure the RD works for them.

 

[Marta24]

Nadiia and Peter are skating first in the last group. Hopefully they have a better competition than in Nice.
