Hope @CaroLiza_fan has a chance to hear Mark's remarks about Ms Kostner being an inspiration for Emily with this dance.

The French are moving on up!

Loving Logan's sparkles!

his costume is nice "live from the rink"

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nice twizzles.

 

[4everchan]

I still prefer the French.

 

[yuumagical]

Polovtsian Dances...still my favorite piece of classical music...and to think I first heard it in an anime! xD

Eva & Logan were very good. And this still has a lot of potential/room to grow as their program for this season. Twizzles were strong.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hmm I had a thought and then forgot what it was.

But hey Logan did a good job putting the crown in Eva's hair it stayed put!

I'd feel sorry for them more if they were actually Georgian, rather than more Russians.

Revia is an ethnic Georgian. It's a stated goal of the Georgian FS federation to seek out skaters with Georgian roots.

 

[moonvine]

yup.. they do challengers and win them with big scores...

I don't think I've seen a single Challenger this year due to paid streams or no streams

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all!

I'm so nervous

 

[anonymoose_au]

I much prefer the mascot on the right, a panda? Either that or a plug socket making a face

 

[moonvine]

What is the thought process here? "Lets do a slow/lyrical piece, I'm sure no one else will be"?

Is it just my ice-dance-untrained-eyes or is anyone else also a bit confused differentiating the different choreo moves?

I don't know how to differentiate "choreo slide move" and "choreo hydroblade move". "Choreo spin move" often looks similar to stationary lifts, and "choreo assisted jump" just looks like random mini lifts to me I never can tell those elements until they appear in the tech box lol

The Denis Ten Trophy was available on YouTube so that was cool of them But yeah what's with all the charging now? I guess cost have gone up...

 

[moonvine]

Here is @Seven Sisters favorite team. I'll cheer them on in her absence. Go G/P!

Haha no.

I can only recognise the Choreo Twizzle move, because...it's a twizzle!

Oh is it still up there? I could watch it now. As for their thought process, I guess "we can make some $ with this?" But last year GS didn't even have a stream, paid or unpaid.

Some are free

I'm glad to see the French had a bit of a redemption skate. Good for them - I like them.
