I found that disappointing from H&D.

The Paso sequences and the sbs sequence both looked particularly weak.

Choreography was interesting in places, but they looked uncomfortable with it. And sloooooooooow.

I would go with the Denmark team, honestly.

is she the bull? or the cape? She makes horn tossing moves with arms

I like the structure of this program!

Nice twizzles
late to the music

lift could be smoother.

Score
54.12 into first

Of all the teams I've seen so far this season, P&I have taken the least creative and interesting approach to the choreography for the second paso sequence. It's barely any different from the first sequence at all.

I fits their vanilla style, I suppose.

Paul & Islam

Unfortunately, probably a lift time deduction. Plus late to the music.

Otherwise very smooth.

Needs some swagger though. He does not make me see anything but a Canadian boy

55.3 into 1st.

It's frustrating that the audio is so off, becuase the way P&C hit all the accents in the music in the paso is lost.

That's an awesome SD though. Interpretation is the best I've seen this season.

Wow the FRA team is taking a big leap this year. Kind of expected this since they would be the top team for France now.

I like Colin Brubaker, but he was kind of all over the place here. They're probably going to be behind O&W.

Yikes. Score in the low 40s and into 6th.

Aronow & Brubaker

better than I expected. Started well, but trouble at the end of the program.
twizzles crossing pattern I thought they would crash.
missed the hold into the lift, and so late on the music.
could have been worse

score 42.48 into 6th

I am shocked by that because so far this season the USA teams have been getting the best levels on their elements.

Jones and Sharpe are pretty decent for a team so close in height. They don't look awkward or cumbersome as I was expecting.

Is that Linichuk in the blingy hat?

Papadakis and Cizeron have been repackaged and look like world class material, so excited, I expect them to medal in the China GP

Why? A&B never gets good levels.
They were 9th at last year's US nationals, 8th the previous year.

Just a quick question re time... Have I understood it correctly, and will the ladies begin in about an hour? Thanks in advance for any help.

I adore Paul and Islam but this dance needs passion ( be a little more stern guys). I like O/W's dance but.. nerves ?

Both P/C and H/D have very interesting programs..
