Worlds 2025 Rhythm Dance: “I Feel Loathe”

[Karen-W]

KMT is married to Liam?

Yup - last summer was their wedding. Lots of pics all over IG. Probably the biggest skating wedding of the year after ChoBat.

Gina looks JUST LIKE Barbie.

I approve.

 

[Wyliefan]

That program has just never done great for them -- I do wish they'd tried swing or something, like they had originally thought of doing. And Caro looked like she was really feeling the pressure. Better luck next time, if they keep going!

 

[Karen-W]

Or a very shiny material -- not sequins, but suit fabric with a shiny finish (I don't know what that is called)

satin

 

[Habs]

Barbie's harsh lipstick is REALLY bothering me.

 

[Braulio]

Why do they never get any better? It has puzzled me for a long time. Something is just not working for them. On top that she won't get Irish citizenship because thay can't live there.

Has been the question for like 6 seasons and I dont think they'll get the answer ever

 

[Jay42]

KMT’s commentary is more insightful too.

Very true

 

[Moto Guzzi]

I had that Barbie when I was a little girl.

 

[her grace]

The Swiss have such good character concepts. Now to solidify the technique

No real idea but the fact that they lack any real identity as a team really hurts them.

 

[slicekw]

Honestly, this is the better one (and this is a true Barbie program)

Holy crap, you were on the money. Really nice interpretation, even their body language. And the musical choices really were great for the theme.

 

[Rukia]

Well they committed to the bit but not the edges and turns

Gina ZEHNDER / Beda Leon SIEBER
Coach: Cornelia Leroy, Alisa Besseghier
Music: Barbken Dollhouse, Let's Twist Again

Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Straight Line Lift 4
Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:4
Diagonal Step Sequence W:B M:1

A rare straight line lift today. The middle of the program let the energy drop, and didn't sustain the performance.

57.07 = 8th Place

This feels very conservatively skated, especially compared to their JGP appearances.

Sharkskin?

 

[peibeck]

He got a lv 4 on those twizzles? Bless.

Swiss are Gillis/Poirier lite.

 

[MacMadame]

Barbie's harsh lipstick is REALLY bothering me.

It's the right color but the wrong shape. Barbie has a bow-shaped mouth.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Was that a little subtle shade from KMT?

 

[beckab81]

They have such a good set of programs, hopefully the Swiss can improve the technique now that they're (I think) aging out of juniors.

 

[MsZem]

This was possibly the twee-est thing I have ever seen.

MOAR ELVIS!!

GO CANADA!!

Swiss are Gillis/Poirier lite.

Swiss did it first!

 

[Sally1214]

GO, ALICIA AND PAUL!!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, folks, here is where the rubber hits the mat for Canada's quest to keep 3 dance spots.

 

[Braulio]

they better do their job and qualify to the free in order for Canada keeping the 3 direct olympic tickets in ice dance

 

[her grace]

He got wobbly on third set of twizzles. Great ice coverage on them.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I generally dislike Elvis programs but I like that Paul is portraying a young Elvis and not a bloated 1970s Vegas one.

 

[Amy L]

I did some of the stuff I needed to do today, plus I avoided the early groups. Win/win! Love the title for this thread, that's how I feel about the music cuts in the RD.
