They sure do not seem to make any concession to their art in this snippet ...Came across a 20 seconds snippet of Papadakis/Cizeron's FD and all I can say is that if accidents and injuries and clothing malfunctions are avoided Beijing should be a done deal for gold.
And Faure will become as much a warhorse as "Rain In Your Black Eyes" and "To Build A Home".

Welcome back @cocotaffy! We've missed you!Trying to catch up after being away from FS for the last year and a half. The team I still enjoy a lot is definitely Reviya/Kazakova. Can't wait to see them grow. The programs of the top teams up to now have not impressed me much but it is really early in the season.
So can someone with a lot more comprehension than I explain to me (over my head) if Fabbri/Ayer's lift was illegal or not? Also what would they have to change in the lift to make it legal if it is really illegal? Would totally appreciate it.ISU Questions and Answers # 1 added on September 29th
Q: What is the call when only one partner changes feet during an attempted Combination Spin and the other partner touches down without changing to the other skating foot?
A: The call is Combination Spin with touch down. All Basic Positions and Difficult Variations for the skater who changed feet are considered for level. Only the Basic Positions and Difficult Variations for the partner who does not change to the other foot are considered for level before the touch down and the reduction for touch down is applied.
Has this put out in response to the Flores/Tsarevski's calls?
Q: What is allowed per the following Illegal Element definition?
- lifting partner swinging the lifted partner around without the assistance of hand(s) /arm(s) and the lifted partner holds only with legs/feet around the lifting partner’s neck;
A: Per the picture and for season 2021/22, only swinging or holding by the feet is considered illegal during a lift.
Is this in response of Fabbri/Ayer's lift called at Lombardia? She holds by the legs.
R&A are back in Montreal training as of last month. Her first stab Lithuanian citizenship was denied by Lithuania's president but she's planning on at least one more try before the Olympic deadline.Does anyone have any news on any of the following teams?
--Galyavieva & Thauron
--Kaliszek & Spodyriev
--Reed & Ambrulevicius
Wow, definitely about that call for Flores & Tsarevski.
I’m surprised that the technical panel is labeling something not meeting the definition for the element as the element. Usually, meeting the definition is a guiding principle for calling. This is a very surprising clarification/decision. The only way this makes sense to me is if they’re considering their spin as an “attempted” combination spin that they failed. She touched down, but didn’t spin on the other foot after a ”failed“ change of foot.
So, the new call would be CoSp1, same base points they got in Courcheval 2. They get credit for both of Tsarevski’s difficult positions, but both of Flores’ occurs after her touchdown, so the call is CoSp2, but a reduction of 1 level for the touchdown, so a final call of CoSp1.
(Reposting your comment from the Challenger thread so that I could respond here in The Dance Hall).Also, Stepanova/Bukin are out. I hope they are OK, doesn't look like a promising start to their Oly season. I want them to get to go this time so badly!

Well, armography is the distinctive feature and indeed the main point of waacking!Overall there is kind of a lot of armography, but it does give the program a distinctive look.
yes, which makes it such a brilliant choice for an ice dance program. the arm/upper body movements easily lend themselves to more lyrical, flowy choreography. if you watch some of the waaaking vids online, many dancers perform waacking to slow, subdued, lyrical musical styles.Well, armography is the distinctive feature and indeed the main point of waacking!

When have they said this?Btw, Chock/Bates don't plan to retire after this season and are continuing
I was really surprised when I first saw G/F's RD, MJ definitely wasn't the route I was expecting them to take!Also watched Guignard/Fabbri's RD for the first time and . Five different music cuts in one RD and not smooth cuts either? I like that they focus on "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," one of my fave MJ songs, but overall this seemed a bit of a mess. Hopefully they pare it down a bit and make the skating more crisp.
