2017 GPF Short Dance

[college pat]

good job h/d

PCS way too close to Anna and Luca... There is a difference

 

[nocturnalis]

Luca always thinking he deserves more. You don't dude

Isn't that why they dumped Igor? Because he didn't agree that they deserved to win Worlds?

 

[Crystal7]

But that skate was really nice and I like that music

 

[semosk8tfan]

What the heck judges! I think Madison and Zach were low balled. If they are going to be super nit-picky they better do it for the later teams too. GRRR

 

[Roast Toast]

Soooo cautious on the twizzles...

Damn, I'd dump my coach too

 

[NoNameFace]

Madison's arm finishing, head movement, upper body actions - really resembling salsa style

 

[pearly]

Latin makes it really hard for me to like the teams I normally love.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Soooo cautious on the twizzles...

This whole skate just seems to lack punch. If you're going to wear that dress and that hair, you need to sell like rent is due.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Thank you Japanese audience for clapping on the beat.

Like I said, consummate professionals.

 

[gravy]

Hubbell & Donohue were slow and didn't have the energy. Not a fan of this performance.

Chock & Bates have so much pose-eography and not enough focus on her. Meh.

 

[Mrs. P]

As i said earlier, Chock and Bates seem REALLY off. Like something deep down that's causing them problems. The speed and power that I've seen from them was MIA today, even more so than earlier in the season.

 

[GGFan]

Love C/B music choices in that they're actually latin. I even saw some Evan spark!! Not a huge fan of their skating though

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I really did not like that from C/B - the program, the execution of it, the outfits, etc. I'm sorry, but I just do not buy the performance from Evan, and even Madison, who is usually a great performer, seemed flat. You can really see the difference in speed and skating skills between them and H/D.

 

[matcha]

I'd give h/d the pcs over c/b.

 

[Anyasnake]

Soooo cautious on the twizzles...

Understatement of the year the music goes faster and they go slower on this particular part
I'd have them 3rd based on elements scoring... not sure the judges will put them 3rd though

 

[Baron Vladimir]

C/B looks too cautious and slow in some parts comparing to H/D. Nice body movements tho
E: Yeah, lowest PCS so far :agree:

 

[draqq]

Chock / Bates

Tech: Good sync through the twizzles, could be faster and have more ice coverage. Partial step had a good, interesting connections, graded Level 3. Great through the Rhumba section, Level 4. Nice split position in the curve lift. Midline step seqeuence could have more complicated steps, graded Level 3.

Pres: This one's difficult to call. For me, it didn't have the same impact and connection to the music as the other two teams, so I'll be interested to see what they get in PCS. I think Chock gets that Latin vibe through but Bates is lacking that imposing Latin flair and pizzazz.

 

[Matilda]

Soooo cautious on the twizzles...

And yet they got level 4, while Madi and Zach got level 3. Huh?
