Just noticed there was no thread for this.

Unfortunately, they decided to put some Skyfall in there, too. My poor ears...Isn't Mission Impossible soundtrack?
Thank you so much! I was only able to come in just now but caught lovely Nicole/fFMattieu Love Story
Are you planning to set up a thread for the other competitions today? (hoping, hoping
I didn't realize that Themi had found a new partner and was still skating pairs. A nice surprise. Was that his former partner Naomi with them in the Kiss-n-Cry?Minji JI / Themistocles LEFTHERIS <<<< BEST NAME EVER
Shame about the fall. Minji has very nice lines. Another fall. Is this Korea's top pair? I know they're trying to push the ladies to be ready for 2018, is Korea focusing on the other disciplines as well?
I have no idea who they are, but they looked happy, good for them! Now Nicole and Matteo show who is the top Italian team....
Is this some kind of tribute to Sale and Pelletier?
I think I remember likeing Pfund and Santillan last year...
Skating to Evita (film version). Well choreographed program- wow, actually using the elements to express the lyrics, who's weird idea was that
Shame about the falls, but I remember why I like them now
They were very consistent last year, so I'm surprised to see 2 falls. That last throw was pretty sweet though!
I'm disappointed at having missed them, and so far I've found every pair's FS from today except theirs!:ddevil:
I love this pair. I just watched their Evita program from Skate Detroit in July, and it was wonderful ... until the very last element, when a lift came down. Scary.
But I tried to figure out what I like so much about them.
(1) I think they've taken Tamara Moskvina's mini-workshops very seriously. They're doing great unison, with their arms especially and also extending out to their fingers, as well as head movements.
(2) Joshua has serious presence and charisma on the ice. My eye goes right to him. I find this refreshing in a pair and for me it doesn't take anything away from how Jessica is highlighted. Both their extensions seem really good to my (purely) spectator's eye.
After doing so well at SA last year, two of their lifts came down at nationals, and Joshua in particular was devastated. But he didn't drop her! I'm so glad to see them here; I think they've been working very hard, but also with attention to elements in addition to technique.
It appears that way at first, doesn't it, especially with the gray/white outfits.
The first time I saw it, I came in about a third of the way through, and I thought, oh why the lyrics on this piece? But I just watched it a 2nd and 3rd time, and I absolutely love it. Since it's a woman singing about a man, the story is different, not following the movie. And the final third of the program seems to lift up again beautifully and (my interpretation) not be about death.
I absolutely love this program. Genius re-imagining, and so beautifully skated.
