2017 CS Nebelhorn Short Dance

[WeakAnkles]

All I could think of the entire time they were skating was, Why does Galyeta look like like she's wearing a dress of overcooked pumpkin someone stuck sequins into?

GBR and JPN locked their spots for Olympics :agree:

everybody still has to skate the free. anything can happen. even in Dance. don´t jinxs them

by the way I am rooting for GBR, JPN, GER, FIN to make it

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Ricky Martin (without noise)

 

[Wilwarin]

Noise gone!Yey

Mmmm. A girl from Siberia who used to skate for the Ukraine, and a guy from New York who used to skate for Great Britain, skating for Azerbaijan.

Right.

Although he has a very English surname, I'm guessing that he is the one that has the connections, going by his first name.

Surely the DOB's given in their ISU Bio have to be wrong. They look about 10 years younger!!!

How on earth is the Armenian guy's ready-to-wear outfit connected to rhumba?

 

[WeakAnkles]

How nice of Simon to take some time out of his Casual Friday workday to do a little dancing for us.

You know, G/P-S have some really nice qualities: speed, some good edges, flow. It made me want to see their FD.

The music edit was more pleasant than some of the others.

But I think I'm getting a bit of SD OD, thankfully there's a little intermission coming...

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Another 55 score

Unfortunately, it's very much Azerbaijan's policy to buy foreign athletes, especially in sports that aren't popular there (meaning everything besides combat sports). Most of their Olympians in Rio were foreign born, as one can see here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics

It still isn't nearly as bad as a Paso Doble year.

Just saying...

Wondered the same ... maybe a program theme I missed ? I thought they did fairly well on their twizzles, but skated a bit apart during their dance

It's so strange not seeing anyone from team Gadbois/Montreal. I guess it shows how successful they've been.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I was about to say that I would be happy if the current Top 5 were the ones that qualified.

Then I heard the announcer call out the names Kavita Lorenz and Joti Polizoakis.

indeed, hope Kavita will have a bombastic costume, with hotness level similar to last year's catsuit...too much goodie, too little places!

 

[nimi]

Not bad, compatriots!

They avoided the random stumbles and splats they sometimes have in competition... *fingers crossed for FD*

 

[WeakAnkles]

T/P MUCH improved from the first time I saw this, though the twizzles were still uhm problematic. I just don't think it will be enough for top five.

ETA: Oh good, I'm glad to be wrong.

 

[LittleLotte29]

Batucada being the most trendy jazzy cool music of this season... Particularly at the end of SD.

Probably not...

ETA: WHOAH WHAT that score?!
Well I guess I should be happy!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

OK, why did the buzzing have to return just before it got to the decent piece of the music?! Could it not have appeared during the first piece of music, and then disappeared when it moved onto the second?!

Nevertheless, good skate. I had forgotten about the Finns when talking during the interval about who I would like to see in the Top 5.
