B. ESP female commentator harsh on them. Basically calls them out for copying V&M's opening choreography.

Eyebrow acting GEO: +3.

Outfit improvement from the SD: +5. And I don't care for this outfit.

I really wish there were two separate tech panels for ice dance that gave their reasonings in writing with photo/video clip documentation... this current system is not robust enough for this to be a "sport".

Andrew has to get his twizzles back. I think that is what is holding them back, not the programs (And I found last year's bitter earth program to be a snore)

Dog hates me this morning. I gave him his breakfast (chicken, kafir, pumpkin, essential oils) and I finished off the pepperridge farms strawberry cookies. He is not impressed with my lack of sharing.

That dog eats better than I do :laugh:

I dig Belarusians music choice. Too bad they're not good enough to pull it off.

Am I way too sleep deprived, or was that an instrumental interlude of Metallica ?

This is so frustrating... With their height they could be so regal, but they're soooooo awkward (and slow) :no:

Years and years ago (I want to say 98 but.. could have been any Olympics between 94 and 06) CBC had Jean Senft, who is a judge, come in and explain how judges make decisions in these little documentary type things. It was very informative. It is there that I grew to understand why having quiet blades is important and how to tell if jumps are cheated or not. This must have been before the COP because I don't remember her explaining it in those terms.

Viktoria KAVALIOVA / Yurii BIELIAIEV

He's in a three peice suit without the jacket, she's in a red and black tango dress with sparkly straps running across the back. And one black glove. One. One black glove. A tangoish program. Some nice eyebrow acting at the beginning from him. A few struggle-lifts, not as fast as we'll see in the later teams, but no major disasters that I saw.

Sofia EVDOKIMOVA / Egor BAZIN 77.54/133.37
Viktoria KAVALIOVA / Yurii BIELIAIEV 74.91/129.55

Laurence FOURNIER BEAUDRY / Nikolaj SORENSEN
Elliana POGREBINSKY / Alex BENOIT

Warm-Up Group 2
Tiffany ZAHORSKI / Jonathan GUERREIRO

Don't expect an answer now but just throwing it out there: does anyone know who the female commentator for British Eurosport is? She's quite harsh, but open about her (valid) critiques.

If the team from Turkey are happy with their scores can we call it Turkish Delight?

I love the purples in her dress. So pretty. And strangely I like the music.

Actually the quiet blades meme was mentioned more recently from Tanith Belbin's ice dance commentary when I still had Universal Sports on cable tv(2014). :)

The Turks have really improved their edges, but they seem a bit slower, It's a lovely program. I don't understand why they're being dumped by the judges. I mean I'm STILL annoyed they didn't clear through to the FD at Worlds last year.

Okay.. I have to ask. Did anyone hear Someone like you by Adele toward the end of that dance? I swear i did. I was even singing it in my head.
