As someone who started going out to bars and clubs during the early 2000’s, T/T’s RD music totally takes me back. My favorite song selection so far…
Last year, T/T also had an awesome Madonna RD too. Much better than Fear/Gibson’s attempt at Madonna.As someone who started going out to bars and clubs during the early 2000’s, T/T’s RD music totally takes me back. My favorite song selection so far…
Oh yes, totally agree. I posted about their RD, including the fabulous headband, in another thread. Especially Filip’s Instagram post related the programLast year, T/T also had an awesome Madonna RD too. Much better than Fear/Gibson’s attempt at Madonna.
My Millenial heart loved it.As someone who started going out to bars and clubs during the early 2000’s, T/T’s RD music totally takes me back. My favorite song selection so far…
Well, KanaDai already have a 4CCs medal, but we'll see how they do at a fully contested 4CCs. They're probably somewhere around 7th or 8th, depending on the material of Wang/Liu and the #3 US & Canadian teams.Let's assume Russia will stay out of it for the entire quad, because if they're back, the top team will just wham everyone at Euros and keep getting momentum and reputation to always be on the worlds podium.
This should be another North American quad because I don't see anything interesting coming out of Europe. I don't know if KanaDai are ever going to be good enough technically to win anything major (except maybe a team medal at medal 2026 and a 4CC medal), even if they put out the most creative work. Korea has a good team now, don't know if they can rise to a good standing by Milan (would they even be eligible?). Maybe next quad we'll finally have a stronger Asian presence.
I meant this quad for KanaDai I think they'll be getting top 10 at worlds and "more experience" for themselves and one other team as long as they compete.Well, KanaDai already have a 4CCs medal, but we'll see how they do at a fully contested 4CCs.

Lim/Quan are already age-eligible for seniors, but chose to stay in junior, wisely IMO, another season. I don't see them challenging the US or Canadian teams, nor even Wang/Liu and KanaDai.
if chock/bates & gilles/porrier can stay in for a couple more years, why not g/f? the first two teams are hit or miss with truly good programs (and quite frankly, i don't think c/b's snake charmer or eillish programs would be received as well were it not for chock's pure stunningly gorgeous presence and charisma).Good lord, Guignard/Fabbri are still competing? European dance is certainly a sad state of affairs if they are doing battle with the Brits for European gold. I am not impressed with either team's free dances, but at least Guignard/Fabbri aren't doing the exact same program they've done the last four years, and their basics are reasonably matched.
And don't mention the Russians, they'd simply make the event less tasteful and more corrupt.
Promising young Japanese and Canadian teams as well. It’s sure better to be a dance Uber than a pairs Uber right now.Between the Czechs, Germans, Koreans, and Brits (and maybe more that I'm forgetting), I'd say Europe and Asia have a very promising future in dance. Even if some of them retire or split before they really get going, as usually happens with at least a few teams along the way, things are looking good
Agreed. And G/F almost have more reason to stay: they've not yet won a world medal, nor got higher than a bronze at Europeans. Plus, the next Olympics are not just in their home country but in their hometown. Personally, I'm hoping they'll stay the whole quad and manage to get on the Olys podium in 2026.if chock/bates & gilles/porrier can stay in for a couple more years, why not g/f?
There was the cancer FD by Mueller/Dieck. But I don't think it had this many voiceoversAnd a literal…like actually literal…climate change FD for T/T!
It’s like their team watched Weaver/Poje’s FD from 2016, loved the music, and reinterpreted “This Bitter Earth” to mean the Earth is dying.
Has anyone else done such an “in your face” talking program?
This makes me so want Green/Parsons’ FD to Rhapsody in Blue to include sentences from a United Airlines safety video.
they deserve so much betterI don’t need to see H/B overtake Chock, that’s not going to happen. But I sure would like them to be judged more fairly than at the Olys, they have a shot at 4th or 5th at Worlds.
Oops, I meant TWO non-U.S. dance teams:OMG, Challenge Cup in Ardmore, PA has a foreign federation team listed in the Senior Rhythm Dance starting order : https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2022/30712/CAT019SEG037.html
I am really looking forward to it!Cimlova/Polizoakis are set to debut at Budapest Trophy.
Choreographic Assisted Jump Movement: at least three assisted jump movements performed continuously in a row, performed anywhere in the program The following requirements apply:
- At least three in a row (same or different) performed continuously
- Cannot rotate more than one (1) rotation in each assisted jump movement by the assisting partner
- Less than three seconds off the ice for assisted partner
- No more than three (3) steps in between each assisted jump movement - Either partner may do the assisted jump movement
@Andrea82 , From what I can tell, for Harris & Chan, the 2nd assisted jump is a bit more than 1.5 revolutions by about 1/4 revolution. For McNamara & Spridinov, the 1st jump isn’t assisted. Spiridinov jumps, but McNamara’s hands are just touching him, not actually “assisting” him. I can’t see any other reason to invalidate that element.
I know the Choreographic Assisted Jumps went through some rule changes even before the season started, but I’m not sure what the updated requirements are. I’m not sure if it went from 1.5 revs allowed to 1, or 1 rev allowed to 1.5. The best I could find is Communication 2468 Updated on August 31, 2022. The Choreographic Assisted Jump requirements are as follows:
This could explain Harris & Chan’s invalidation regardless, as the element is designed to have the 2nd choreographic jump be 1.5 revs. But for McNamara & Spridinov, I don’t see a strict requirement that the jump is actually assisted? Unless it’s implied in the name of the element. I imagine there’s going to be a Q&A clarification coming.
I should think so. It sounds a bit complicated and is probably causing a good deal of frustration.I imagine there’s going to be a Q&A clarification coming.
