Kavita LORENZ / Panagiotis POLIZOAKIS (GER)

Music: The Sound of Music

Light blue dress / grey vest, pants, white shirt

OK skate, though you can see he's new to ice dance (weaker edging, extensions)

Oh, was he a singles skater?

i sort of saw it as a dream.... the beatles song comes in and they are transported in baroque France... or something... and it's super quirky (some of the moves reminded me of baroque dancing which is very 'hands and arms" and then PAF! they are back to reality with the beatles? Maybe they smoked something too... LOL

Well not everything else, I was just using hyperbole and referring to the concept, outfits, and choreography. I don't know what they were thinking.

According to bio: Lorenz/Polizoakis teamed up in spring 2015. Polizoakis competed in singles until then. His nickname is Joti.

She also had never competed internationally before, ever, before last week, so these two are indeed VERY new to this whole thing. I actually think they show extraordinary progress and promise given everything.

I find it a little bit weird that C/B's PCS was higher than the Shib's. Don't really agree with that. Otherwise, the scoring is about right in my eyes.

viennaskater · Oct 2, 2015

Hm - Coomes/Buckland in 2nd place by a whisker.

Yes I am fairly sure they were supposed to be high...

Art&Sport · Oct 2, 2015

The scoring is close at the top, but I definitely think that Piper and Paul should be ahead of Coomes/Buckland, especially in PCS. I think it is politics at play.

And ITA, neither do C/B deserve higher PCS than the Shibs!

tulosai · Oct 2, 2015

Are the pairs in an hour? Am I right about that?

4everchan · Oct 2, 2015

i'd put G/P second and I agree that Shibs PCS should be #1.... for TES, it seems fair

I think you always need to see the detailed protocols to really know, though PCS is of course more subjective. I think The Shibs deserved the highest PCS personally but that's just me...

I just noticed that and was a bit shocked tbh

I love them both but the Shibs should be way in front

4everchan · Oct 2, 2015

yup... the judges didn't seem to be in the same mood

agreed

Really surprised to see Coomes/Buckland with a touch higher PCS. Maybe they were fast on the ice or something.

viennaskater · Oct 2, 2015

It's often been the way that if a dance couple dares to be different, while still ticking the boxes, they don't always get credit for it. And yet we all like to see originality.

Ok, I see that their unique approach is not appreciated by all, and that Piper's skating skills are still frowned upon. I simply love their unique and innovative approach. They are so fun to watch, IMHO.

Definitely not. The SD is weird. And while their FD is good weird, this dance was definitely a bad weird. IMO

Agree that Shibs deserve highest PCS, but I also feel G/P should be in front of C/B.

You know, when I saw Piper and Paul come out onto the ice, I thought "WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY WEARING???!!!"

But then the music started, and I understood it straight away.

OHHHH that now makes sense.... thanks for enlightening me... i thought they were scored a bit low as well Art&Sport

No problem! Happy to be of help!

I probably should have added - Sgt. Pepper is the album that "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is from.

And that is exactly what most people reckon that "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is really about!

Yeah, especially since they finished 3rd in the FD last week at Nebelhorn, ahead of Cannuscio/McManus from the US.
