THEY WERE AMAZING AND THAT PROGRAM IS AMAZING AND EVERYTHING IS AMAZING AND HIORJOP2OP1UE23 SHIIIIIIBSSSSS!




NONE OF THESE EMOJIS PROPERLY EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT!!!!

 

[LisaM]

Ugh, their tech score is really down :\ And I expected a little higher PCS too...

 

[Hyena]

That was a beautiful program for the Shibs. This is what they should have been skating to for years now. They seem to really connect to each other and the music...love.

Their TES still not up to par though...

 

[Plisskin]

That was everything I was hoping it would be. <3 This should be their year. They have 2 wonderful programs.

 

[Marta25]

Well, the PCS are good, but that TES... :disapp: Marina needs better technical coaches.

SHAAAAAAAME!

SHAME UPON THESE JUDGES!!! *Obsessively scans protocols and grabs a judge* TELL ME WHERE THE DEDUCTION CAME FROM OR I WILL EXPOSE YOUR PCS-RIGGING TO THE WORLD!!!!

 

[semosk8tfan]

91? Obviously the judges didn't like it as much as I did. GRR, I am guessing levels on the steps again.

 

[catchie]

I loved that rotational lift and mirror twizzle during the diagonal step sequence! They are so gorgeous to watch. Sigh.

 

[skylark]

SHIBS!! I love, love, love their FD which really proves they needed to work with a choreographer who could look at them with fresh eyes.

The gorgeous, slow moves in the beginning half show such control and attention to extension. Then they pick up speed at end. So happy for them!

 

[chezzu]

Haven't seen it yet, but that's quite a low score even for an early season outing. I wonder what went wrong...

 

[Layback11]

That was everything I was hoping it would be. <3 This should be their year. They have 2 wonderful programs.

:yes:

And now I have stopped using all caps, LOL.

And I'm not even watching Coomes/Buckland because Muse is :disapp: and almost anything would seem lackluster to me after the ShibProgram Immortal.

 

[Meoima]

Run, PLEASE run away from Zueva, Maia and Alex, it's not too late please!

 

[tulosai]

Oh wow, I loved Penny and Nick too!!! Her costume and that first lift in particular are

 

[Layback11]

Run, PLEASE run away from Zueva, Maia and Alex, it's not too late please!

Does the guy who did their FD choreo coach? If he does, they should go to him!

 

[RemyRose]

Run, PLEASE run away from Zueva, Maia and Alex, it's not too late please!

Who doesn't need to run away? She seriously need better tech coaches.

 

[Plisskin]

Shibs go to Shpilband or some other coach that is good in tech/ getting levels (since Marina isn't doing it for them) and have Peter still do their choreo.

 

[caitie]

ugh can Marina and Igor please just make up so the Shibutanis can have good tech scores too...
