2018 Finlandia Trophy Rhythm Dance

:eeking:That was a whole Blades of Glory Part three movie right there. :eeking:

btw, despite that the must have got good levels on those sit twizzles, they got no ice coverage, particular for Alexandra, and it is a continual risk of getting called a pirouette.

They should keep them as choreo twizzles in the FD, and leave them alone as regular twizzles.

Why are they called wolf twizzles btw?

Her last two twizzles were pretty much in one place, others travelled somewhat. But yes, I see your point.

Smart and Diaz have a good PD this year (when I say good I mean the mood and the int.-technical stuff I leave to Doris) but I still have not forgiven them for last year's FD so I'm hoping that S/F or the French L/L beat them. I hold grudges.

(For all who want to watch something live, here's Japan Open: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g6AI5m-CO0. How is it that we can get that and not Finlandia )

Scoreboard says the next couple finally finished skating, Hungarians.

So far it is Russia-Russia-Russia-Hungary-Hungary.

Loved her dress, she looks so chic and classy in grey.

Alexandra was simply stunning.

But their initial pose reminds me more of some sort of a tribal dance rather than a tango

#AlexandraSTEPANOVA #IvanBUKIN on interruption:
A: We saw something falling down in the midline footwork and then I heard the whistle. A shame we couldn't show the complete program. I: This happened the first time to us. We would have continued if we weren't stopped. #fintrophy

Why are they called wolf twizzles btw?

In gymnastics, the same thing, but done in one place, is called a wolf turn?

That is how you claim Russia's no.1 spot in ID. Stepanova was simply stunning but boy I dont know how Bukin was able to match that.

#OliviaSmart #AdrianDiaz didn't let the extra ice resurfacing incidence affect their performance at #FinTrophy
O: It was a funny situation, it has not happened to us before.
A: We are working on how to transform the nerves to adrenaline and energy towards the performance.

What the heck is going on in Finland????? Did they let the French federation run the event?

BTW.. if you are on Twitter and don't follow Golden Skate you really should. Lots of interviews and info. :thumbsup:

 

[TMC]

This is insane. I don’t see how they can let them skate after this, especially the pairs. It’s way too dangerous!!!
