I see judges used all IV GOE stash on Stepanova/Bukin, none left to fuel more classy, quality RD of Charlene and Marco...Seriously, I just have to cover tech box and stop caring about judging

Nikita has a history of problems with his twizzles doesn't he? It has definately held them back before. Kind of like Poje They need to go to Alex S. for lessons.

More problems than Poje. He lost medals because of this with both Elena and Viktoria....

I need my dream to a see same-sex ice dance team with Jean Luc and Marco to be realised ASAP

Their twizzles were really wobbly and inelegant.

Barbara does not do low key does she.

I love the italian's tango. It might be my favourite one. I go back and forth.

Charlene GUIGNARD / Marco FABBRI
Italy
Music: "Miedo a La Libertad (Orchestral)" by Tanghetto; "La chanson des vieux amants" performed by Kantango; "Tanos" by Lino Cannavacciuolo
Choreography by: Barbara Fusar Poli, Corrado Giordani
Costumes: Black dress with sheer back and patterned overlay for her; basic black with red shirt for him

Required Elements:

Slow and sexy tango steps to start. Then a HUGE Cartwheel into
Twizzles - They do twizzle well with great speed and closeness. And it's a fab entry. Level 4 for both, 2.54 goe. And that goe should be higher than S/Bs.
TR Pt1 - Nice speed. Level 2 YTTY 1.81 goe
TR Pt2 - Level 4 YYYY 1.74 goe
and RIGHT INTO one of the better
SL Lifts I've seen, with her hand on his boot and rotating. It's pretty close to P/G's Bond lift from last year. Well if you're gonna steal... Level 4 1.28 goe
Finally! A tempo change! Picking up speed into
Diag Step Seq. Level 2, 3.09 goe

Well they pretty much shellshocked everyone at the GPF. It's definitely the best SD/RD I've ever seem them skate. They GET it.

This was a tad frenetic, but I'd still put it in first. YMMV of course.

Score: 79.05 and a SB

Yup. I'm now angry just because I saw twizzles GOEs. Better to not look.

So TES went up, but 1,5 points lower in PCS. Like srsly?

Ms Poland receives my ever-lasting love (and envy!) for her green dress!

Italian Ice dance team are a bit like the Italian Pairs team making good on a year after an Olympics when the competition is not quite as hard as its going to get. Both teams are around 30 or older so i think they are both probably maxed out and going to find it hard to hold of thef younger teams for the next 3 years.

Me too, and aren't they a similar height?

This tech panel looks scarily similar to Mentor Cup...If their score will be that inflated, I quit.

Classy, but a bit boring in my opinion. Stepanova/Bukin had so much more presence on ice.

Maksym is too handsome. There should be a law against it!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ooh lv4 YYYY for both patterns

I'm still bothered by the man cleavage though

 

[NoNameFace]

Oh snap, looks like they are coming for that final group...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow look at Team Poland getting all their key points!

Nice ending!

 

[LaArdilla]

WOW! 2 lvls 4?!?!? Huge TES for them!

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Did we just see 2 Level 4 Patterns with YYYY from K/S!

 

[Harriet]

That was a very fancy finish.
