Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:4
Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section 2 + kpYYNN (1 + kpYNNN after review)
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2
Rotational Lift 4

They really had to slow down, and take their time in the Rocker Foxtrot as compared to when they were skating other elements.

Q 53.62 = 1st Place

 

[skatingguy]

Holly Hairsine (17), Alessio Surenkov-Gultchev (20)

Music: State of Shock by The Jacksons; Lovin' You Baby by Laura Branigan; Can You Feel It by The Jacksons

Junior Eligible Next Season: Yes

[Karen-W]

Rough twizzles for Alessio and that will probably get the Czech Sibs 3.0 into the FD.

 

[skatingguy]

Molly Hairsine/Alessio Surenkov-Gultchev
Coach: Paul Dredge, Vivienne Dean, Yebin Mok
Music: State of Shock, Lovin' You Baby

Rocker Foxtrot - 1st Section 2 + kpYYNN (1 +kpNYNN after review)
Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section B + kpNNNN
Midline Step Sequence W:2 (1 after review) M:1
Rotational Lift 4

A rough way to start the program with a stumble on the twizzles, and they never fully recovered.

44.19 = 9th Place

 

[skatingguy]

Chloe Nguyen (18), Brendan Giang (20)
Coach: Megan Wing, Aaron Lowe
Music: Let's Dance by David Bowie, Dancing in the Street by David Bowie, Mick Jagger

Junior Eligible Next Season: No
Senior Eligible Next Season: Yes

 

[Karen-W]

Nguyen/Giang really nailed the '80s look with these costumes. They're probably the best of the season along with the Mullens.

Nice skate, and some strong technical elements. The Rocker Foxtrot was okay, but needs more speed, and time.

Great program, and performance - great to see Japan embracing ice dance.

Q 56.75 = 2nd Place

 

[skatfan]

I haven’t followed the juniors and loved this robot program!

Ted thinks Mr Roboto was not common music to North America

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Ted... people in America certainly heard Mr Roboto in the '80s...

Ted thinks Mr Roboto was not common music to North America

"Certainly not in the 80s" he said! It was released in 1983 by an American band (Styx)

Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section 1 + kpYNNN (B + kpNNNN)
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:1

Were lots of people wearing a pink basketball jerseys with black dress pants in the 80's? Polish ice dance is always such a head scratcher. Also, are they advertising for next year's Worlds, or just stating they're intention to compete there?

Q 54.19 = 4th Place

I don't understand her pink boot covers while wearing blue and yellow

[LeafOnTheWind]

I honestly thought we would have more Footloose programs than we've had this season. So I am actually happy to see this since it's not 3000 versions of it.

 

[skatingguy]

Layla Veillon/Alexander Brandys
Coach: C. Moir, S. Moir, A. Diaz, M. Hubbell
Music: Footloose, Waiting for a Girl Like You

Great skate.

All of this exciting music…and what a WOWEE CROWD up in the stands!
Montreal audience will top that number, I hope…

Rocker Foxtrot - 2nd Section B + kpNNNN
Rotational Lift 4

Strong skate, but a big difference technically between this team and the leaders - not the precision on the Rocker Foxtrot of the leading Canadian teams.

Q 56.81 = 3rd Place
