She needs to bring back her test skate outfit and he needs a cool T. This shirt is a NO
I mean it's alright, but not exactly groundbreaking is it?Sinitsina/Katsalapov, RD from RC #2

They seem to enjoy it and it works for them. Vika seems more convincing that Katsalapov. I find his poor posture distracting, but maybe that's why they chose the genre.SinKats RD has grown on me since the test skates. I still hate the Joe Cocker part because of the music, but overall this seems to be a good fit for them. They hit all the music accents and actually use their body to show some nuances - something I would not definitely expect from them in this genre/style.
But agree, better bring that catsuit back and get a new t-shirt for Nikita

In late 2018, I did a Q&A for IDC with Juulia and Matthias. https://www.ice-dance.com/site/q-a-juulia-turkkila-matthias-versluis/Against this field, T/V managed to finish 4th in the FD! Their margin over L/L is “wow,” especially given that both programs were called to the same base value. And they got higher PCS than H/K (yes there was break in H/K’s performance). That’s back-to-back personal bests now for T/V in both phases of competition.
I would say that puts their participation in next week's Denis Ten Memorial Challenger in doubt, which is a shame. Hopefully he will be well enough to compete by their first GP.According to Zhulin, Sinitsina/Katsalapov withdrew from the FD, as Nikita had injured his back again during today’s practice and now “he can’t even put his socks on”. They will come back to Moscow and decide on the treatment and recovery
Well, the Finlandia results can't get much closer, so that leaves Spanish Nationals and Euros to make the decision, lol.Spanish Dancers Battle for Olympic Berth
Spanish Dancers Battle for Olympic Berth – International Figure Skating
Two Spanish ice dance teams are in a battle to claim the sole berth at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and World Championships.www.ifsmagazine.com
Spain has one ice dance berth at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and two teams are vying for it.
In August, the Spanish skating federation advised Sara Hurtado and Kirill Khaliavin and Olivia Smart and Adrián Díaz that they must compete at the same three competitions — Finlandia Trophy, the national championships and the European Championships — and whichever team earns the highest combined score from those three events will get both the 2022 Olympic and World Championships berths.
Diana Davis waiting in the wingsI hope this is SinKats’ last year. Between her recovery from long crud and his recurring injuries, I think they need a physically easier lifestyle. Russia has plenty of teams whose PCS will magically jump up as they ascend the ladder.
Maybe he's wearing a brace or something for his back, hence the flowy shirt? The injury appears chronic based on past interviews.Diana Davis waiting in the wings
but SinKats with bandages is doable, need to complete this Olympic season
plus he just needs to get a new RD shirt.
Yup, Guignard/Fabbri’s wonderful Space Oddity. I think that would qualify!I'm catching up on Finlandia and have a question....
Has there ever been an ice dance programme about aliens with costumes that aren't blue?
It's a stupid risk to take.It looks like H/D plan on sticking with their very impressive, but very risky overhead lift for the rest of the season. This feels like a Stationary Lift Base moment just asking to happen, but they're taking the risk.

Something different within the rules = good risk. Something different that's basically a pair lift = pointless risk. They could have worked on something challenging that didn't carry this sort of risk.IMO it would be stupid to take it out because you don't want to risk it. They need it and they know it. Kudos to them for having the guts to try something different.

I agree. Was it really impossible for them to come up with a new lift that didn't carry this type of risk? Where are those Cirque de Soleil acrobats when you need them?Something different within the rules = good risk. Something different that's basically a pair lift = pointless risk.

Really? ... I would have said that most people will avoid unnecessary risks at the OG, like it or not!To me Olympics are about risk not playing it safe. Go for it and Maddie and Zachary
Playing it safe did nothing for Michelle and some others. Risktakers like Tara and Sarah Hughes with multiple triple triples are usually what can make an Olympic gold medal happen
I’m sure them and their coaches have done extensive research to make sure it’s not a banned lift. So I’m happy they’re doing it
