Sara!

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Ok, who is that lady from the movie Grease??!

 

[floridaice]

No funding.

That's too bad.

Sara Hurtado? How dare you.

 

[Amy L]

I've always loved the weirdass CYP team. They lost a lot of momentum after her major injury a couple of years ago.

 

[floridaice]

Cool lift entry!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that wasn't too shabby from Kudryavtseva/Karankevich! I enjoyed it.

 

[tony]

Zanni teams generally have such memorable stuff but they never ever have the levels. I remember this team did a Bring It On-esque free dance at Junior Worlds and they did one of those balance on the head stationary lifts that Lauriault and Le Gac started putting in programs last year.

Anyways, favorite program so far today anyways.

Kudryavtseva/Karankevich had so much originality in juniors and now it’s another Backstreet Boys programme. Still, they seem into it, and I’m kind of fascinated by his oil slick trousers. A step up in skating quality compared to the rest of this group.

 

[skatingguy]

Mark, the music is Backstreet Boys - not N'Sync.

 

[Kateri]

TES dropped a lot, on review.

 

[Amy L]

If she dyed her hair brown I bet she'd look just like Thora Birch, who was a major child/teen actor in the 90s!

 

[thvu]

Cypriots getting small (no) fed PCS.

 

[Karen-W]

Yay! Another Latin RD!

 

[Karen-W]

Those were some rough twizzles on her part.

 

[tony]

His height and his reaching over and his general posture is giving me Tim Koleto.

 

[thvu]

Those were the saddest shimmies.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

I’m seeing Fedor Andreev…

 

[tony]

I’m seeing Fedor Andreev…

He wishes.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

He wishes.

We all wish

 

[Kateri]

She spent that entire programme between his legs!

 

[skatingguy]

Chelsea Verhaegh/Sherim van Geffen

Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence B
Sequential Twizzles W:2 M:4 (W:1 M:4 after review)

That was a rough technical skate, and the performance seemed a bit uncertain, and cautious.

48.15 = 8th Place

[floridaice]

This is about all I can do from the east coast, my bed is calling.

 

[thvu]

I'm really excited to see Majarov.

The Hungarians could be a dark horse for a spot (and I'm loving some of their music choices.)

 

[tony]

For those who don't know, the Italian team here won a head to head domestic competition but then were 7 or so points behind another Italian team in the RD at Lombardia (that team being the 2025 Worlds entry). They withdrew from the FD as to not lose to them (supposedly) and get sent here.

But I have to say RIP second Italian team chances because this would've basically been team #3 in line to get the spot, domestic comp or not and injuries or not. Manni & Rothlisberger were 23rd at Worlds, not unrealistic to think they had a shot here.

 

[Marta24]

I hope the Italians have a good skate. So much pressure on them.

 

[Rukia]

i'm not convinced everyone will survive this warmup
