The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

[Colonel Green]

Who saw THAT coming?

I was expecting it. Cizeron didn't come back to be second, and Chock/Bates ascended to the top more by outlasting everybody ahead of them than anything else.

Gilles & Poirier are going to need another mistake from Fear & Gibson to stay in third after the free, based on how the judging went.

Sad for Lim & Quan.

All I care about is that R/A had fun and did well. And, hopefully, that someone posts the video of their RD and it stays up long enough for me to see it, because I'm not signing up for yet another streaming service just to watch the Olys even if it is free.

Will USA judge finally be on the Free Dance panel? USA wasn't chosen in the RD today, and wasn't chosen in TE RD or FD either.

Is there a random draw for FD, or is there a rule that USA judge must be in the Free Dance panel (because she wasn't on the panel for RD)?


Today was the worst possibly judges draw for Chock & Bates. No USA judge, but there was FRA & CAN judges. In hindsight, I should've known C&B would be wuzrobbed.

How is it a 'wuzzrobbed' situation? there is not even a point between C/B and FB/C ...

USA (Janis Engel), Italy (Isabella Micheli), Spain (Marta Olozagarre) and Georgia (Elena Khmyzenko, represented Russia until last year) will be in the Free Dance panel. 45 minutes before the FD they will draw which 5 judges of the RD will join them.

Chock & Bates usually do better relative to their top competitors in their Free Dances than in their Rhythm (or previously, Short) Dances. I am pleasantly surprised that their score is so close to Fournier-Beaudry & Cizeron's.
