Of course the Russians will be ahead of every one else. The real thrill about this discipline is who makes the top 10 final and who will win bronze.

 

[Pamigena]

I get really confused when there's more than one person twirling and throwing stuff :roll9: too many crazy flying colors make my eyes and brain go all wobbly

 

[Sorrento]

Anyone has a working stream to watch the competitions?
EDIT: Found it.

 

[Sorrento]

Umm, didn't like Russian's routine to be honest. Also- costumes were a bit too much. There was a visible mistake at the beginning. And the last part of the music was used on evening TV News intro for so many years, so... I don't know...

 

[Sorrento]

Beautiful and uplifting routine from Japanese team. Loved it.

 

[thoakun]

The Russian look like they're brides deciding to wear circus costumes.
Since when did the Chinese RG team and synchro swimming become so boring?

 

[thoakun]

The Uzbek group's music is hilariously cringe-worthy :hslap:.

 

[Sorrento]

Spanish team were amazing, wow.

 

[thoakun]

Is Spain the OGM contender? They look ready to slay. The scores are nailbitingly close. I didn't realize that Japan has become a powerhouse :agree:.

I too feel like that design was a bit too much for the music. I think they needed something sharp in lines and design, not cover their bodies and legs with flowers like some ancient tribe. Could they ditch the leg flowers for the finals at least? I think that part of the costume is very not necessary.

And the choreography is too much difficulty for difficulty's sake. It's all over the place.

It's like the first time I watch this kind of competitions and it was messy for my eye for almost every team, haha! But yeah, I felt it was a bit labored, you know.

I saw the team competition with the clubs and hoops, but I think I missed out on the ribbons.
Will the team final feature both routines from each qualified team again? I'm hoping to catch the ribbons then.

Yes, both.

 

[Winnie_20]

Yes, both.

Kewl. :thumbsup: I like the ribbons best.

That annoying moment when all the TVs in the house are taken

The music cuts of Neviana's hoop routine are truly magnificent...that last bit! I MEAN HOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DO THAT! Everyone in skating needs her music cutter!
