Remember when Igor was the levels master? Marie-France and Patrice took that over. Heck, even Marina and Massimo's teams have consistently achieved higher TES than Igor's as of late.
 
C/B got L4 on all elements except the midline (same as at Olys). Given that Madi is skating on an injured ankle, that's pretty good. I felt they were underscored in PCS and I also thought they deserved higher GOE on their lift. I hope they can have a great skate in the FD.

I thought Chock and Bates looked really cautious--for good reason--but it was evident. I hope they can relax more into the free. I was so nervous for Madison, particularly leading up to the lift. They did really well all things considered.

Yeah, it was really clear after watching them back-to-back with P/C and H/D. Before Igor wasn't only able to maximize levels but do it in a way that garnered really high GOEs. C/B are skating more cautiously but I think the field just improved their edging, power, and execution of the elements so the ones that already had better basic skating skills now had the elements to put them over.

Major punishment for Bukin doping ban. They want him out of the sport!

:confused:

They would have scored over 75 if not for that deduction, higher than they received all season and in-line with what they received at Euros. I think people projected all kinds of crazy expectations on them because they just expected a Russian team to be in bigger medal contention, but just because they are currently in 7th doesn't mean they are being "dumped". They are where they've been all season really.

All I see is a team that beat c/l w/p now lose to them! It’s clear the judges want Bukin out. Where did that never before seen extra lift come from? It’s a fake ruse to send a message that he should retire.

What an excellent SD competition today! The only sad thing for me personally was H/B's fall :(:( And poor sweet Kaitlin was very very disappointed. Hopefully they skate well in the FD. Fingers crossed.

Same. She was SO excited to be at Worlds; I hate that for her. I hope she can brush it off and be fantastic tomorrow

H/D really freaking brought it today. Like, truly, WOW. What fun :)

They were so focused, like Tessa and Scott. :lol:

I thought their PCS seemed high for how slow and cautious they skated.

Are C/B skating for 4 more years?

I agree, I really enjoyed their performance, their best of the season IMO. I enjoyed the most to G/P (I really LOVE that program), W/P, C/B and for the first time I enjoyed S/B program :eek:.

Poor Kaitlin H.

Kana and Chris SB yay!! 10th place, underscored in PCS as usual

Olivia and Adria 12th, still possible that top 10

W/L underscored

P/C got rhumba L3, so they will not leave the season with only L4 after all.

I will miss the latin rhythm, I know some teams got very weird music but many other got good music that is familiar and enjoyable for me.

Is anybody else finding the camera work of these championships to be mediocre? I don't like it when they zoom out that often :/

Worse than mediocre! Atrocious! I have been finding this all season actually. At Olympics they zoomed away from V/M's opening lift and P/C's stationary lift into their spin. Two highlights for me, personally. Grr.

And especially in dance...never zoom away from the SKATES. How are we to determine the edges and blast the judges?

Also, they zoomed away from my FAVE moment of Aljona and Bruno's SP here.

I haven't been watching much due to no ISU stream, but based on what I've seen I tend to agree.

That's all i have to say and will not go into the horrendous overscoring of certain teams.

Leave Agafonova/Ucar alone.

Brace yourselves...

The SD (or now called Rythm Dance) for 2019-2020 is... Musical, Operetta, Broadway.

(Help, I really dislike those, or maybe introduce me to some great ones please)

Wow, I dont know what to think, I am not expert on those, I know just the usual Moulin rouge, wicked, phantom, les miserables, hamilton, i guess it include la la land and other musical movies???
