Worlds 2025 Rhythm Dance: “I Feel Loathe”

[Karen-W]

Dovhal/Kulesza's costumes look like something Karine Arribert would have designed in years past (her costume designs for her teams this season have been awful).

 

[Elisheba]

People at work have been insisting that I actually do...work. Which is rude. Ideally I can finally watch uninterrupted now.

 

[beckab81]

Ok, caught up for the last 6 groups (and caught the Swedes at the end of the last group). Only 28 to go!

 

[Braulio]

Yes he is, in an ‘I just got stabbed on a trip to Russia, it’s no big deal’ way.

they showed him in the warm up area during the ice resurface and in the moment he noticed was on camera he flexed arms with a big stare of here you go, oh my!

 

[MacMadame]

This team is really slow.

 

[slicekw]

That was one of the least jarring music cuts ever heard in ice dance. Brava!

 

[Braulio]

YMCA? no guys I'm saving that for Pirihara!

 

[Jay42]

This team is really slow.

Also not committed enough to the YMCA dance

 

[susieB129]

This skate is kinda just there, but the Polish team is adorable.

 

[Rukia]

That was a mess but the audience was doing ymca with them so that was probably thrilling

Sofiiaa DOVHAL / Wiktor KULESZA
Coach: S. Nowak-Trebacka, M. Spodyriev, D. Popova
Music: And the Beat Goes On, YMCA

Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1 (B after review)
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:2
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Rotational Lift 4

Interesting to start with the pattern dance - they lost some of the character of the program as the speed increased.

51.87 = 7th Place

 

[skipaway]

Also not committed enough to the YMCA dance

Audience was amazingly involved

 

[MacMadame]

Heart hand/ arms

 

[peibeck]

I find the Poles music fun but their skating a bit labored. Maybe because they are almost the same height?

 

[Elisheba]

How many YMCAs does the audience have in them, though? I feel like this will not be the last one.

 

[Finnice]

I love Sofiia’s curls!

She looks like Elizabeth Corday from ER, if somebody still remembers that tv-show.

 

[Sally1214]

Also not committed enough to the YMCA dance

Juho Pirinen will fix that for you.

 

[Braulio]

Sylwia Nowak their coach? well... we may see them magically rank up the standings in the near future even though they will be skating the same as of today

 

[Citlali]

People in the building, don't, I repeat DON'T dance, you are giving the ISU permission to torture us with "fun" and "party" themes for the RD to the end of times

I looked at the ISU Bios for everyone left to skate during the ice cut and that's the only one I saw.

Since Americans are Pavlovian trained to do YMCA since they are toddlers, they may start every time, but the enthusiasm and length of time will wane.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, the Poles may very well wind up in Milano-Cortina with the TE quota spots, so good for them.

 

[tony]

I unbuttoned by shirt almost down to my belly button. I’m gonna work it to get on camera, people.

 

[Sally1214]

I loved the design of the front of Sofiia's dress .... well the whole dress actually. That was a fun dance.

Oh, missed one.

Poland in qualifying position right now?? wow

 

[Jay42]

Juho Pirinen will fix that for you.

Oh I know and I do love the Fun Finns so I look forward to it.

 

[beckab81]

Love love love Yoshida's dress, can I get it in my size?

 

[MacMadame]

These guys are so cute. And the costuming is perfect for the music chioces.
