Slatter/Ongay-Perez did. I have a good track record.

Eh, I don't mind Zac's costume - it's obviously a knockoff from the movie. Slatter/Ongay-Perez was not something most fans understood and it was far bulkier and negatively impacted their lines and look on the ice.

Emily Bratti should sue whoever was mean enough to actually post that picture of her.

I know it's only one angle, but that might be the most flattering costume Onna's ever had. Really lovely on her.

Cross-posting here & in the U.S. Pairs news thread in GSD... Claire spoke to Emily and Spencer in the mixed zone after today's practice (5 posts copied out below): https://x.com/adivinesport/status/1849836773762805903

Spencer Howe: "The summer was continuing that road to recovery [from shoulder surgery]. I'm happy to say that it went really well. My shoulder is much better, stronger than ever. I had to undergo a lot of physical therapy."
Chan/Howe considered re-using last year's programs, as they only competed twice last season. "I wanted to keep them, mostly the [Elvis] short, but our coaches, especially Olga [Ganicheva], wanted us to have a fresh start," said Howe. They choreographed new programs with Ganicheva
Chan: "Last year, we had to modify most of our programs because of his shoulder. We wanted to have something that was suitable for us at our current time."
Howe on training with Alisa Efimova/Misha Mitrofanov: "It's a huge blessing for us. We like them both as people, they're really great. To see them already doing so well, it's super-inspiring for us." He added that skating together helps both teams improve.
Howe on doing shows in Japan this summer: "We're super-grateful to be able to go to Japan; we love it there. It was really beneficial for us to get out there early on" and get audience feedback on their skating.

I'm hardcore judging this... I'm not a huge fan of women with wide open backs on their costumes and even less of a fan of the look on men.

ANL, I'm sure, will approve, lol.

I hate it, which means it is perfect for an ice dance costume.

Well, maybe there will be a different version of this costume every time as well.

No, it starts at 2pm Pacific. Halifax is on Atlantic time, so 4 hours ahead of us.

Someone needs to play the Wheel of Chicken Trivia game and report back.

 

[dancefan17]

Really like G/P FD - they look well trained and prepared. Also like the Argentine Tango sections quite a bit. Lifts look great. Wished the music had a bit more variety in tempo/speed, but it’s hard to judge their speed on the practice videos. They certainly look better at this point in the season than C/B.

 

[skategal]

Someone needs to play the Wheel of Chicken Trivia game and report back.

I did yesterday.

If the wheel lands on a category you have to answer a question about chicken based on that category.

For example, “Food Handling Practices, Farming etc”

The person in front of me was asked how many chicken farmers there are in Canada. Another was asked do farmed chickens always have access to food and water (yes.)

If the wheel lands on “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” you don’t have to answer a question to get a prize (squishy chicken keychain.)

My wheel spin landed on “Winner Winner” so I got the squishy chicken keychain without having to answer a question.
