Skate to Milano OWG Qualifier - Beijing CHN - Ice Dance RD & FD

[tony]

Mark wants to know what they said, and I'm pretty sure all that was said between them was his "shit"

 

[Rukia]

I am deceased, the GOE on this sloppy mess is killing me.

but it represents who they are or something

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I don’t know if others agree with me, but I wish the rules would change so it requires more time for ice dancing teams to be in hold and less time doing synchronized side-by-side movements.

 

[CantALoop]

oh now scores are magically coming in fast again, nothing suspicious here

 

[skatingguy]

Allison Reed/Saulius Ambrulevicius

The program is lacking in emotional depth, and didn't connect to me, but they performed the elements well.

117.78 = 1st Place
198.73 = 1st Place

 

[shan]

I'm so happy for Reed/Ambru, but 117????

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, the Spanish team that I was very unfamiliar with moves up to the bronze position.

 

[tony]

I hate these results.

 

[shan]

I hate these results.

Me too.

 

[peibeck]

but it represents who they are or something

"They" meaning the judges with cataracts?

 

[Rukia]

isu should be ashamed of themselves, iam should be ashamed of themselves, xinyu liu shouldn't be anywhere near this competition

 

[Marta24]

One of the remaining Olympic spots goes to a non IAM team. Very generous.

 

[peibeck]

isu should be ashamed of themselves, iam should be ashamed of themselves, xinyu liu shouldn't be anywhere near this competition

Reflection of the world as a whole right now, I'm afraid.

 

[skatingguy]

I don't understand the 7th place for the Japanese on PCS. I'm not a technical expert, but the quality of their skating skills just seems so obvious.

 

[peibeck]

It will be interesting to see the layout of the marks that the Skating Scores website does by judge to see who chacked which teams.

 

[Karen-W]

These results are really suspect. And this time, I don't think we can blame IAM. ReedAmbru and HarChan were expected to easily qualify. It's the 3-7 spots that are... Hmmmmmm...

ValKaz - ESP & SK Ice Dance
WangLiu - CHN & IAM long-distance
ReiMaj - SWE & Oberstdorf
IgnaSzem - HUN & Skary Babs
YoMori - JPN & IAMO & Cathy Reed

If this was IAM doing their best politicking, then YoMori wouldn't have dropped the way they did. Obviously, ReiMaj & IgnaSzem got the small fed screw job.

CFSA's price was quite high to host this event, obviously. And Maria Teresa Samaranch must have glad-handed and schmoozed all the people that matter to get Spain their 2nd ice dance spot.

 

[skatfan]

Ugh, not happy that neither the Swedes or the Japanese qualified. Yeah the Japanese will get a team medal, but still!

 

[tony]

Tuba is now on social media basically thanking the haters, saying people have been so nasty to them for the last 2 weeks telling them they don't deserve to be here. He says see you at the next Olympics, and the next one, and the next one.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I don't know why I ever expected not to be disgusted by the Dance qualification, but, back to reality. Although I am glad that Reed and Ambrulevicius have qualified, after she was issued a passport against all odds.

 

[zigzig]

Why did Holly and Jason have to skate here since they made the free dance at last year's worlds?

 

[Karen-W]

Why did Holly and Jason have to skate here since they made the free dance at last year's worlds?

Because there were only 19 spots awarded in Boston, so 1 team that made the FD wasn't getting a spot. HarChan were the unlucky ones who had to come to Beijing to secure their spot.

 

[Karen-W]

So, Jackie Wong has gone back over the protocols & the programs from Yoshida/Morita and Reitan/Majorov. Both of them got a ! on the choreo character step seq. He's identified the issue for YoMori - and notes they got the same call 2 weeks ago at Kinoshita Group Cup, so this was a fixable error they should have addressed.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1969636355442454611

He can't figure out, though, why Reitan/Majorov got the call. Any knowledgeable ID experts who care to make a guess? Beyond the obvious CFSA (which I think is the real culprit).

[skatingguy]

Play-by-play posts have been updated to reflect the protocols, and the skaters names link to the performance video on YouTube.

 

[skatingguy]

Jason Chan received the relatively rare level 4 on the one foot turns - the only at this competition.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Why did Holly and Jason have to skate here since they made the free dance at last year's worlds?

Others can explain it better but I think it was something to do with the Canadian teams and their qualifications.

Anyway Holly and Jason skated incredibly well and I am very happy to see them go to the Olympics.

The best thing about this event is they looked confident, excited and showed more emotion than I have seen them before after they finished. I think this will give them lots of confidence heading into the forthcoming season and Olympics.

 

[Bunny Hop]

So happy for Harris/Chan! Worthy successors to O'Brien/Merriman. I feared it might be much longer before we got another dance team to the Olympics.

 

[Wyliefan]

Tuba is now on social media basically thanking the haters, saying people have been so nasty to them for the last 2 weeks telling them they don't deserve to be here. He says see you at the next Olympics, and the next one, and the next one.

Poor P/T, I'm so sorry to hear that. There's no excuse for people treating them like that.

 

[peibeck]

Well now I'm even more gutted for the Swedes that some bizarre tech call may have kept them from being in Milano.

 

[FSUAddict]

Milla Ruud Reitan/Nikolaj Majorov
Rank after RD: 3
Coach: Rostislav Sinicyn, Natalia Karamysheva

They used the ice so well, and filled the space, and I loved the expansiveness of their performance.

99.30 = 4th Place
168.60 = 3rd Place

They also changed her twizzles to level 2 according to the protocol.
Some „interesting“ changes, indeed.
