2022 World Championships: Free Dance

[labgoat]

I think they worked very hard to get their levels and GOE this time out to move up as much as possible.

 

[SnowWhite]

I'll miss this program. But I'm excited to see what the do next

 

[labgoat]

i love them ma birrrrrdiezzzzzz

They were awesome today and the audience was all in.

 

[labgoat]

Now our elegant Finns

And on this note, I must bid you all a fond adieu!

My family is getting together for a late lunch, for my younger brother's birthday. I have been getting ready between skates, but now I have to go and pick up my parents and youngest brother, and all make a drive to the middle brother's house for his bday.

I shall catch the rest on replay!

It's been a lot of fun supplying the gifs!

I leave you with one last gif, because it's almost resurfacing time.

The I Love Lucy gifs in particular brought me much joy! Hope to see you again for at least some of Junior Worlds next month

Few bubbles, but they are so soft and airy…I love their sliding move at the end!

birdies > dolphins

I very much hope Lajoie/Lagha continue to surprise and delight us over the next four years with off-the-wall music and program choices that they somehow manage to sell 100% (though I also loved their Warsaw Concerto FD as juniors). They need to get better levels, but I hope they'll be motivated by moving up a rung in the Canadian pecking order and the crowd support.

My wish for them is that next year, somebody asks Zach what he would like to skate to. I want to see him happy and engaged in the music, instead of looking like he’d rather be somewhere else and/or going through the motions. He has the talent—it’s the engagement that is missing (JMHO)

T/V I love this program. So beautiful.

 

[yuumagical]

It is a full house in here for this event, fuller than at any other time I've seen it (though I've only seen men and ice dance inside).

I must say the Armenian ice dance team is severely underrated, they move so quickly across the ice!

 

[Ares]

There were some noticeable mistakes in this dance of Finns, I liked them but less than Lajoie/Lagha. The dance also seemed bit less complex than the previous one to me.

 

[labgoat]

What is the hand gesture the coach makes in the kiss & cry?

 

[elektra blue]

oh right, the Lannisters tango

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hi Nathalie!

And now for another Natalie. And Filip. Go Taschlers! Establish your fabulous selves on the world stage, why dontcha.

 

[SnowWhite]

oh right, the Lannisters tango

I still want them to just commit and skate to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlkgmdYxiuM

I thought he did look engaged this season, and clearly enjoyed their Queen program last year-- leaps and bounds beyond his Eeyore look in Juniors. But I agree that Marjorie would look happy skating to just about anything, so it's more important to give Zach something to connect to.
