LynsJ just linked to these clips of P/C's free dance practice on her instagram in the practice thread - thought I'd bring them here for those who don't have access to the competition forums.
I think this is the best build-up they've ever done in a FD, even better than the build to the RoLi in TBAH. So much emotion.
The stream on the ISU YT channel was perfect - at least for me.Unfortunately the live stream was so bad that I have no clue how well they skated! Hopefully somebody will post soon ...
I do hope that they will work on the levels, and that they stop changing programs. While talking to my skating friend today, it dawned on me that in fact, I have always loved the earlier versions of their programs. All changes that I noticed, I didn't like. The first versions were for me always more with the music and more expressive and emotional and aesthetic. Obviously, the early performances were never as good or precise or mastered as the later ones, so in that sense the programs always improved. But I always preferred the first choreographies.
Even though I agree that these costumes are minimalistic, I find them good. They fit the program. I can come up with things I would like better maybe, but I don't care. The costumes here should be absolutely secondary, probably more like tertiary or lower. The less they take focus away, the better.
I am a bit confused about the Scores. Is it allowed to talk about it now?
