Worlds 2025 Rhythm Dance: “I Feel Loathe”

[Wyliefan]

Cute haircut on Maddie Hubbell.

 

[MacMadame]

Battle of the red heads?

All my life, I've wanted to be auburn with curly hair, btw.

 

[Karen-W]

Ren/Xing - first twizzles were fab, she struggled on the second one, which is a shame.

 

[4rkidz]

Okay unlike the pairs and singles I cannot even begin to judge the technical so for me dance is purely emotional. I can't imagine how difficult it is to judge this and cut so many? I can see the edges and the lean and understand speed and the easy skills like twizzles and footwork and spins but not actual dance steps. So I will read the experts. I do like costumes though. I just don't understand the base levels and how they get them in dance. I enjoyed having the company of a European dance judge who tried his best.. but alas..

FFS - there are maintenance workers upstairs in the apt above mine AGAIN this morning.

My Mother was a redhead and my best friend growing up too. I did accidentally turn my red once, but never managed to get curls

Ren/Xing are fun!

 

[MacMadame]

Brilliant!

 

[peibeck]

Chinese team has potential. Nice speed. He's VERY expressive. Pattern was not bad!

 

[Braulio]

Nice expression for a chinese ice dance team, high vibes as required with the music. He is definitively the stronger skater in this pair, very precise and control. Playful choreo sequence. Rotational lfit good. Good Job from them!

Chris saying he's dizzy oh and after two of 36 couples? hopefully then by the last group he'll be past dizzy and faint to stop talking nonsense

 

[Rukia]

They were much faster.i liked them!

 

[Jay42]

I really enjoy Ren/Xing. They're fun and look like they were having a good time.

 

[4rkidz]

thank you KMT she is explaining some of the levels for me! BTW I am really enjoying her as a good all around commentator.

 

[Kateri]

Gonna send Chris a post-it note. On it will say:

Chinese Names
X = "sh"
Q = "ch"

I just need him to clear this low, low bar. It's been so many decades.

 

[skategal]

Loved that and he seems like he would be lots of fun at a party.

 

[Karen-W]

I like them far more at this stage in their career than I ever did Wang/Liu - the height difference between W/L was too noticeable & distracting with them.

easier to judge the speed live, glad to know that they were fast as I liked them and their overall look.

She's been doing such a good job. I've enjoyed hearing her a lot this week.

mangles name

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that a stuffed Boston terrier in the K&C? Too cute. We had a Boston terrier when I was little, though I don't remember him very well.

 

[miffy]

Her costume is so brave

 

[Desperado]

Did I hear Turkee-ah from the announcer?

Are you telling us that Chris is mangling names already, just two teams in? Shocking, I tell you. Simply shocking, lol.

Trust me, it's not all it's cracked up to be. In the summer humidity, my naturally auburn hair often resembles an overused copper "curly kate" pot scrubber that really needs to hit the garbage tin.

 

[Rukia]

Is this the partner she married

C'est la vie say the old folks

 

[MacMadame]

The start of their dance always reminds me of the dancing in Pulp Fiction.

He’s sat there all week and I keep thinking he’s a real dog, very well behaved
