Original music selections, but they lost the plot of performance about half way through. Unique position in the lift, but an upside down split position - will the judges accept it.

62.11 = 8th Place

Does anyone know if scores from the event are going to count for PB/SB?

I've been wondering that myself. I suppose we'll find out after this weekend if the SB/PB lists are updated.

 

[Dobre]

(P&P). I hope these two hang in there. I still really like them. I think they're actually more of a classical team, but learning all the different stuff is good for them.

 

[thvu]

I love that Harris' costume references J-Lo's infamous plunging dress.

 

[thvu]

Wow, Harris & Chan look so much sharper than they have in years. This program is totally their vibe.

 

[tony]

I love that Harris' costume references J-Lo's infamous plunging dress.

Horribly.

I like the music but I think they are throwing levels out at this point because I never really get much from them that says they are better than some of the top teams here.
HOWEVER, since they did get into the free dance...........

 

[Rukia]

well they did what they needed to do. I like the program for them too even if i don't love them lol

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was nice from HarChan. TES says they're EASILY qualifying, lol.

I was questioning Holly's dress, but now I realize it's clearly inspired by JLo's famous Oscar dress. Good skate, but this program was very generic as to the theme, and composition.

73.35 = 1st Place

 

[Dobre]

Good on them. Four years ago the potential was there, and we saw it tonight. One dance at a time.

 

[tony]

I'm going to keep pushing for an ISU rule change for the next pre-Olympics Worlds (because why not modify again) that spots should go down the results list with exact placements until filled. IF a country earns two or three spots based on the placements of other teams higher up the rankings, then send the teams that are lower-ranked from the free dance or pairs free skate (and not getting a spot before it's maxed out) to this competition. The end

 

[thvu]

Assuming the Lithuanians are 1st after the RD, I'd be okay with the current top 4 getting the spots.

 

[tony]

If the lyrics say he's too sexy for his shirt and he doesn't take his shirt off, the interpretation score should be 0.25.

 

[Rukia]

r/a have some of the shortest progressive in ice dance

 

[tony]

r/a have some of the shortest progressive in ice dance

I'm gonna be just as shady as I have been the last idk 3 years or so with them, but if anyone deserves the Moniotte/Lavanchy treatment it's them. I said it long before the Worlds catastrophe but everything about their overall quality screams second group at Worlds (and second as in after first FD group, not penultimate).

The rare comedy program in ice dance - it was fun, and they skated very well.

 

[Karen-W]

Whelp, IAM grabs all the GOE.

The only things really satisfying about this RD segment are 1) WangLiu are going to be out of the final group for the FD, and 2) ReiMaj's RD was really entertaining in all the best ways.

 

[Lanie]

r/a have some of the shortest progressive in ice dance

that's as may be but don't care he's hot ok

take off the shirt sauli kthx

I need to sleep.

 

[skatingguy]

So Australia & Lithuania are a lock, and the final 2 (or 3) spots between Sweden, Japan, Spain, and China.

 

[Dobre]

(R&A) One of my favorite RDs thus far this season. It's cute & charming & sells regardless of whether you lived through the decade or not. Highlights them both. Sticks to my no-more-than-two-songs-is-ideal-in-the-RD rule and rotates back to the original piece for the end. Plus, it's just fun.

 

[tony]

So Australia & Lithuania are a lock, and the final 2 (or 3) spots between Sweden, Japan, Spain, and China.

Harris and Chan have been known to really blow an element in their time. So I wouldn't even say they are a lock yet.

 

[Rukia]

anyway i'm fine with locking in the placements as they currently are ice dance do your thing

Remember Orihara still has a big question mark to her citizenship as far as I know. Finland has other team(s?) that can try to make the lower overall minimums to hold the spot.

But there may be 5 spots here.

 

[thvu]

anyway i'm fine with locking in the placements as they currently are ice dance do your thing

Why would you wish this upon us?

 

[tangerine dream]

I'm going to keep pushing for an ISU rule change for the next pre-Olympics Worlds (because why not modify again) that spots should go down the results list with exact placements until filled.

The end

Isn't that how it used to be? The Knierims were 10th at 2017 worlds and the US only got one spot for the Olympics. I'm not sure when it changed.

 

[Rukia]

Why would you wish this upon us?

I meant the not changing placements thing not the terrifying falls thing let me readjust my vibes

 

[Rukia]

80 is a truly wild score for how r/a actually skate but idk it doesn't matter here

 

[tangerine dream]

Remember Orihara still has a big question mark to her citizenship as far as I know. Finland has other team(s?) that can try to make the lower overall minimums to hold the spot.

Same for SWE, right? Or did Reitan get citizenship?

 

[tony]

Not really, because back then hypothetically teams finishing ahead of them that earned multiple entries (ex. say France had one entry but then finished 6th) would automatically get that second spot and a total quota before hitting the max.

Now, as we all know, additional spots being added (such as what Georgia and Spain, for example, are trying to do here) have to actually be confirmed rather than just given.
