2017 GP Rostelecom Cup Free Dance

[WeakAnkles]

These two are really nice to watch and I think they commit to the Carmen theme. I hope they'll work on closer holds and more clean edges in their step sequences -- the difference in skill between them is most glaring there.

in any case a valuable opportunity for them!

Yes, well you know OTT facial expressions cover a multitude of tech sins, don't they?

 

[Baron Vladimir]

IN is 8+ :agree: They are at least interesting to watch

 

[Lota]

Oh wow, that score :eeking:

 

[auser]

Is Betina a popular name in Russia?

More Carmen *sigh* I know there are only 20 odd music choices that can actually be made in skating so I guess I'll have to resign myself to it all.

Mentally blocked that this was Carmen music. Just felt that the program did not work for me. On replay, how my brain did this I do not know

 

[ruffledgrouse]

All right. Lets see what's going on with these two.

...I do like the music so far

Why is he wearing that?
This is all too complicated for me

It's Jaime and Cersei skating to 50 Shades of Grey.

I find them really fascinating as a team. I still question the construction and interpretation of that program...it's all feral aggression from the git go, without the sexual heat (which they slide into the middle of the program), but it's definitely growing on me.

But they are a surprisingly good match as a team.

Yes, this this is not the most intricate and sublime program ever but it suits their temperaments, show their strenghts and is generally fun. It's kinda rare for a new team to be such a joy to watch

 

[kevinVchicago]

Oh, like the folk music and that Parsons on knees lift :thumbsup: yeah, its Duchesnays music?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Is this Avatar?

 

[Shayuki]

That's an interesting version of Shcherbakova's SP.

 

[ancientpeas]

Is this Avatar?

If it is this is the most random costume choice ever.

 

[nolangoh]

Oh Michael...not again on the twizzles?

 

[Anni234]

Michael is not getting along with twizzles this weekend

 

[andromache]

I don't like this program at all - the music isn't to my taste - but why all the incest jokes? I don't think they look romantic or sexual at all.

Their skating skills are definitely the class of this warm up group, and that final move/lift/whatever at the end was awesome.

I think that athough being a new item in Russian ID scene, they have got one of the best packaging this year, especially with FD which plays on their performance-wise strenght, as for Popova at least. It's a warhorse, but if done with right punch and face - gets interesting and believable. Very strong technical score I'd say - definitely a good prospects for them

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hold up- is this a Ghost Dance program? It is!

Well in that case, their costumes are far too clean and unragged.

Twizzle trouble.

Honestly- and I love this music- but the program just doesn't come together for me. Something about the choreography, or maybe their on ice presence, but it just left me cold

 

[ancientpeas]

Rachel might need to find herself a Zachary.

 

[Kittosuni]

P/M needs a lot of improvement buy boy they are promising!

Their improvement compared from last year is just mind blowing.
