2017 Ondrej Nepela Trophy Ice Dance FD

[WeakAnkles]

Good skate

Well better than the Russian test skate, but I doubt it will get them top 5 in Korea. But early days. I'm sure it will look very different by then.

Small mistake on the lift, otherwise looked clean. And I love the dance :luv17: Congrats Ekaterina and Dmitry!

 

[Barb]

I liked it better in the last competition

 

[Snow63]

That straight line lift was an accident waiting to happen - but they have experience to deal with this, haha.

Good enough to win easily.

They should change it ASAP. It doesn't even fit the dance.

Lovely. Bobrova & Soloviev are telling a story, not P&C at all IMO. Some nice original adjustments since the test skate version. I wish B&S had a better SD. The FD really works for them. I don't know, though. I might like it even better if she stayed in his arms at the end.

I'm happy about this FD, feel like it is a worthy vehicle for what is likely their final free dance together.

 

[MelDee]

Dramatic? and Gabriella was not being dramatic in their last FD?

That was genuinely felt emotion, no pretense.

I think Ekaterina's dress has won its place in my favorite skating dresses hall of fame...

Yeah it made her dance spin positions look fab!

Well, well, well. I see them on podium, to be honest. And top 5 is almost guaranteed. We'll see, I guess.

I want to see the colors on TV. It is a pretty dress, for sure, and it looks good even on the lifts.

The dance has a story. She can't stay in his arms in the end

And top 5 is almost guaranteed.

Oh, we are a long way from knowing top 5, I think.

 

[pearly]

I quite like this FD from Bobrova/Soloviev.

I am getting this really weird vibe from the Parsons (at JWC too). I can't put my finger on it.

I just know they won't. I mean, it's working now, so doubt they'll want to change.

Obviously it does. I'm waiting for the press release.

I don't even know what to say about B/S program. I like the concept, very interesting, the final movements as well, but I don't like the hands' movements during the second step seq. I wish they would find something else to express the joy of life.

 

[Sugarpova]

Super happy for both our dance pairs but ugh even more mad that PM are left without their rightful place @ COR:angry1:
They made Carmen look great!

How amazing was the Parsons' dance yesterday but today I was bored

 

[Snow63]

Obviously it does. I'm waiting for the press release.

It was explained already. I posted the story in their Fan fest a while ago

 

[Snow63]

Oh, we are a long way from knowing top 5, I think.

Of course. I'm sorry. I meant the dance is, IMO, top 5 material. I just wish I liked their SD more.
