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

I think you mean Chris Howarth, not Simon Reed. Simon Reed lost his job a while back for saying inappropriate things on a hot mic.

It was Simon. He just was fired from commentating the ISU channel, he’s back at doing Eurosport commentary at the Olympics.

He asked Louise if Lilahs mistake was more severe than Marco Fabbris

For those really interested in a very detailed recap of the free dance, Tony and Thomas and The Skating Session do a fantastic job.

I wish that there were a reaction icon, not that I am mad at you; you are just the bearer of bad news.

Does anyone have a DVR recording of the Primetime broadcast of the Rhythm Dance (Monday, Feb. 9) who could check the end and summarize what Tracy Wilson said about why Chock/Bates received a level 3 in the Pattern Step (PSt3)?

Uhmmm...I am not a technical expert on ice dance (or really anything), but I sure as heck don't see that -1 GOE on FB/C rotational lift. Maybe there is like very slight wobble when I watch that part over and over again, but nothing significant. All judges gave 4 or 5. While I agree that some judges gave them too high GOE from that twizzle, if none of them saw anything in RoLi, I think there probably was nothing to see.

He literally almost tripped on his toepick. I thought he was going to fall. It was pretty bad.

I am in no teknik and can't tell you which move was taking place at the time, but I will give you Tracy's words verbatim:

"Watch Madi's ankle on a deep outside edge, but you can see the foot come up to straight, flip to the inside edge just a hair before she turned."

It's Simon and Louise Walden, former British Ice Dancer.

I know both Chris and Simon. I practically grew up listening FS con both of them. Simon didn't loose his job. He's been commentating the worlds with Louise too.

Tarasova adds her thoughts:

“I agree with the results; they are correct. At last, the Canadian pair, who for many years deserved to be first, second, or third, won the bronze. Previously, they were left with nothing.” Tarasova on the Olympic podium in ice dance

Tatiana Tarasova, shared her impressions of the ice dance competition at the 2026 Olympics in Milan.

She’s happy Gilles/Poirier have a medal and said the had deserved 1st-3rd for years. She also agrees with the final results but That she called FB/C, “Guillaume” and only discusses him. It just adds to the narrative that if he could, he would ice dance by himself.

“Tatiana Tarasova: I agree with the results; they are correct. At last, the Canadian pair, who for many years deserved to be first, second, or third, won the bronze. Previously, they were left with nothing. The top two pairs were sorted out correctly, in my opinion. Guillaume won – he is more progressive, although the Americans skated beautifully.

Yea Simon Reed is here for Eurosport - and I really like Louise Walden, whose commentating with him.
