Worlds 2024 Free Dance: ‘The Moors of Montreal’

[Frau Muller]

Elvis has left the building!

 

[MacMadame]

I think I just hate Elvis programs.

Maybe it's like LaLa Land programs. It seems like it's not skatable music but every once in a while someone does a good program to it. I am not a big Elvis fan but he does have some good songs that, in theory, should work.

Also, how was that the worst FD of the event so far???

 

[overedge]

Elvis used to open his Vegas act with the "2001" orchestral music.

Elvis didn't do absurd air guitar to it.

I mean, if they're going Vegas Elvis, he should stand here and mime eating a peanut butter and bacon sandwich.

 

[Vagabond]

Canadians cleverly disguised as Koreans.

 

[airgelaal]

Are Czech spots saved?

 

[Karen-W]

Yikes. That was a rough score. We'll have to see how the multiple entries play out to determine whether or not 19th place will be enough to earn ESP a Direct Entry past the QRs next year.

 

[Sally1214]

Ugh ... 9th for Olivia and Tim. But, there was the error ... On to next season we go.

Lack of content, very few transitional movements or intricacy going into and out of the elements. Skating skills aren't super amazing, two elements with big mistakes. It's been a well-skated event otherwise.

 

[quartz]

Does this dress come in size 16?

 

[shan]

I like Olivia and Tim, but I don't like that FD. It seems disjointed to me.

Yes, except it was waaaaaayyyyyyy more dramatic

L1 on the dance spin and the accompanying negative GOE was what did it.

 

[Wyliefan]

I can't seem to get used to the added tango beat. But they're skating it so beautifully.

 

[tony]

Are Czech spots saved?

Not yet. If this team goes ahead of Mrazeks, then no. Otherwise yes.

 

[Spikefan]

Are Czech spots saved?

I think Lim/Quan need to slot below Mrazeks.

 

[Karen-W]

Listen, now @tony - you didn't need to curse BOTH SmaDie and LimQuan in order to save the 2nd CZE spot!

But, also, I'd be satisfied if you did curse FBSoer and they drop below the Mrazeks today, lol.

 

[MacMadame]

Absolutely.

I like Olivia and Tim, but I don't like that FD. It seems disjointed to me.

5 music cuts. I'm just saying.

I still think they skated better overall than the "Irish" team.

 

[slicekw]

The Korean world team is really becoming a factor. Glad to see the fed is rounding them out to all disciplines. I don’t find this to be a great piece of choreography, but they have a nice connection with each other.

 

[beckab81]

I love this FD for L/Q, they draw me in so quickly

 

[tony]

The fandom is strong with this team, and while the program is nice and light, I get nothing out of it. I found this team much more exciting as juniors, too.

 

[peibeck]

Sorry but "Umbrellas of Cherbourgh" is just too twee for a diva like Hannah. They were so much more interesting last year when she was chopping off her partner's head as the finale of their FD.

 

[Wyliefan]

JOTEMMMM

 

[marbri]

Oh je t'aime my little Korean team

 

[sap5]

Oh that was good!

 

[overedge]

So are they passionately in love and celebrating being together forever, or are they going to be parted and are in despair? I can't tell.

 

[Wyliefan]

Love that ending.

 

[Jay42]

I like the Koreans more than I like this program but they performed it well.

 

[MacMadame]

I enjoyed their RD but this was just ... there. And they skated very carefully.

 

[MsZem]

I often wonder if skaters and coaches know what actually happens in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Such wonderful, and strong performers. They use the music and project so well for a team that is still so relatively young.
