U.S. Ice Dance 2016/17 season - news & updates

[Josh78]

This is cool--Gorsha Sur is now an attorney and has gone into legal practice with 2 other former skaters:

I had wondered what happened to him.

Very interesting article, and how interesting that he's partnered with other former skaters...great to see he's doing well!

Do you have a link to the complete season bests list?

I've posted links in the ice dance general discussion thread here: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/ind...-dance-fans-2016-17.99505/page-9#post-4903745

Surprised they still haven't added the NRW Trophy to the Assignments page. All three US teams are still listed in the Entries.

Good point. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Bellanca]

(#18) 62.70 Hawayek/Baker, Autumn Classic, 3rd

(#12) 97.80 Hawayek/Baker, Autumn Classic, 2nd

(#14) 160.50 Hawayek/Baker, Autumn Classic, 2nd

Fingers crossed for Hawayek & Baker -- looking for them to bump up their scores. I hope they skate clean and confident @ SC. My wish for H/B is to quickly become one of the top three U.S.A. ice dance teams.

[ilovepaydays]

Was it just me, or did Chock & Bates skate really slow during their Skate Canada FD? I hope and think that they will improve their performances as the season goes on.

 

[emason]

It's not you. Their twizzles crawled; they almost came to a dead halt in front of the section I was in.

 

[Sylvia]

Surprised they still haven't added the NRW Trophy to the Assignments page.

NRW Trophy with Gropman/Somerville, Gunter/Wein and the Greens are listed now (though in the wrong column ) ... hope all 3 teams are successful this week in Dortmund! They compete on Friday & Saturday, November 5-6.

5 Eliana GROPMAN / Ian SOMERVILLE USA 126.37 6 3

Thank you for the links.

Gropman & Somerville actually had the highest technical mark of all the teams in their free dance and the only footwork sequence above a level 2 in the event (improvement from their JGP). On the downside, still a level one in one of their blues patterns, though even so, teams 4-6 in the SD actually had higher technical base value than teams 1-3. G&S scored about 13 points higher than during their JGP event.

 

[DDNatalia]

Congrats to Maia and Alex, now 2x winners of US Olympic Team USA's Team of the Month Award.
(November 2015 and October 2016).

Ice dancers, represent!

US ice dance fans should try to catch the junior SD at Easterns at 7 PM EST tonight. All four teams are excellent, and this should be one of the better competitions at sectionals.

US ice dance fans should try to catch the junior SD at Easterns at 7 PM EST tonight. All four teams are excellent, and this should be one of the better competitions at sectionals.

Yes, Lewis & Bye have switched in to Eastern Sectionals. (Looking for a serious competition?) And Gropman and Somerville have switched back in after switching out last season. Plus the gold (the Greens) & the silver medal (Gunter & Wein) novice teams from last season. So essentially all the internationally competitive teams that don't have a bye for the JGPF will be at Easterns.

 

[Chemistry66]

Green/Green scored an impressive 143.55 (SD 59.12, FD 84.43) to win Eastern Sectionals.

I really really can't wait to see them on the JGP next year.

Elianna and Alex became the latest US ice dance team to break the century mark in TSS in the FD, scoring 101.87. (Okay, it was Tallin Trophy, aka Mordovian Ornament Jr., but still...).

Does anyone know what's up with Thomas/Eaton? They aren't listed among the qualifiers for Nats. http://www.usfsa.org/content/2017 Qualifiers.pdf The pairs who opted not skate at sectionals are listed.

Good luck to all the GPF teams! Looking forward to a great weekend for US Ice Dance!
