I hope so...if anything good comes of that, it'll be the rise of H/B. :yes:

That's what I'm hoping for!!!

I wonder if she'll add beading to her dress or just keep it the simple...fuchsia...it is now. I'm wondering this because I am completely bored and my mind in wandering. Not a great song choice and nothing in the choreography stood out to me either.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Wow, technical difficulties that don't involve the stream? I'm shocked

Laurence Fournier-Beaudry/Nikolaj Sorensen, Denmark

Score: FD 89.50, total 141.08
Place: 2nd

Music: some really obscure indie music

Costumes: he wore a cream blouse and black pants. She wore a red velvet dress with a sweetheart neckline and mesh above it. Simple but gorgeous. :yes:

I never expected it to, but this program worked! It was a suitable followup to their lovely FD last season. I don't even know what it is that I liked so much about it, but it was really enjoyable. However, Nikolaj needs a haircut, STAT.

Because the bowl cut helps no man.



Final result

Wow. H/D's score is lower than McNamara/Carpenter's score from the JGP Colorado Springs.

Final Result

1. Madison Hubbell/Zachary Donohue, USA 153.62
2. Laurence Fournier-Beaudry/Nikolaj Sorensen, Denmark 141.08
3. Elisabeth Paradis/Francois-Xavier Ouellette, Canada 136.90

Congratulations to all the medalists at this event!

Wow...the team from Denmark scored only 3 points behind Hubbell and Donahue in the FD. H/D won easily overall but the gap should be must wider if they are expecting to be considered a top team.

I could've sworn I just heard somebody say "hello" in a super creepy voice on the stream...did anybody else hear that, or am I losing it?

 

[Layback11]

Wow. H/D's score is lower than McNamara/Carpenter's score from the JGP Colorado Springs.

I don't want to make judgements based on the first senior B, but...that's kinda not good for them. There are AT LEAST three other US teams who want to be on that world team more than anything, and they're going to have to STEP IT UP if they want to keep that spot.

I heard it, too. And now the Ladies silver medalist is missing

 

[slider11]

Yea, this is really a B event!!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Yea, this is really a B event!!

It's ok, they found her. I wonder why she changed back into her SP dress.

I bet the cameraman was bored and decided to prank the audience.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

You know, if H/D's music is from Tron they should have some neon in their costumes. Instead of white ombre, it could be neon blue. That would be interesting

Can anyone say if the program was much improved from the last outing? I like the music but I thought they needed a bit more lightness and speed,

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Who are the men coming to join them on the podium? Coaches?

Just got back from a concert. Did I miss anything good from Ladies or Ice Dance?

Return of the moth wings. And we saw more ice dance programs set to indie music in an hour than I've seen in my entire skating obsession.

Oh, and Satoko killed, and Elizabet killed, and Angela was okay (that was the podium), and Karen came in 4th but her new program is .

Mariah had a terrible day and I felt equally terrible for her.

As did Kanako. Poor thing came in 7th.

 

[snsd]

So now that the event is over, Who were the standouts?

I didn't get to watch much of the event.

Who should we keep an eye out for?
Best music?
Breakout performances?
Best Costumes?

Indie music?! The concert I just came home from was bonafide indie -- Beach House!

How does Karen Chen get beat by Angela Wang and not make the podium?

Too bad about Kanako...
