2018 JPG Bratislava Free Dance

[cathlen]

LOL i think i am grumpy still from the fall... lol i will shut up

I kind of feel sorry for them, because they probably lost their chance for JGPF (though who knows?). BUT. It's not Yuri On ICE, so JGP is not the most important for them

Let's see what S/N brings!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Eliana Gropman / Ian Somerville
Country: United States of America
Music: "Bim Bam Boum" (from Mozart l’Opéra Rock) by Dove Attia, Francois Castello, Rodrigue Janois; "Le Bien Qui Fait Mal" (from Mozart l’Opéra Rock) by Dove Attia, Francois Castello, Rodrigue Janois
Choreography by: Elena Novak, Gregjavasc Zuerlein, Natalia Korikova
Costumes: Pink dress with black sheer sequined overly for her, black pants with Mozart-esque tunic top for him

Program Layout:

Dance Spin --speedy with nice turn out
Rotational Lift
Twizzles - Nice down to knee to transition for 1st and 2nd sets
Ch. Character Steps
NT Step Seq.
Step Seq in hold
Curve lift
Ch. Spin

These two have really good solid technique. It's an interesting program. Not quite as gutsy as the French, but it's great to see junior teams taking chances. And this program does. Nicely done. Keep an eye on them.

Score: 88.59 (47.52 TES, 41.07 PCS)

Sometimes, I can tell that someone will be great just by the lightness with which they come out of their beginning pose. The Americans had it and then some. Great job! Loved the music, too.

Oh, her head so close to the ice, my heart stopped for a second. That's called confidence.

 

[4everchan]

oh techno and opera.. not my cup of tea... and ironically, she's the one with the long tail of hair .. not samson lol

 

[TheBallerina]

Wow they have that explosion and power, that's for sure!:thumbsup:

 

[cathlen]

I like these Russians, this program and her dress!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well that was great :luv17: Such expressiveness with precise skills, great job Elizaveta & Devid

... and ironically, she's the one with the long tail of hair .. not samson lol

That crossed my mind too! Maybe Deliliah has taken his hair and stuck it on her head

Ha ha Ted knows he gets the music wrong sometimes

Interesting version of the music for sure!

I liked the twizzle into knee slide thing.

LOL : they just started to skate together... so i am hoping for them to keep it together because i like the partnership but sometimes, if there are mistakes, young skaters can lose focus on the long term goals... i REALLY like them ... so i hope they rebound from this...

haha ted agrees with me on the Russsian's music lol

 

[hanyuufan5]

WOW! Where to even begin... they were all-around fantastic, and I love her dress and the music.

 

[flanker]

Wow, that's a big score, but totally deserved.

Elizaveta Shanaeva / Devid Naryzhnyy
Country: Russia
Music: Samson and Dalilah by Camille Saint-Saens
Choreography by: Alena Samarskaia
Costumes: Purple dress with cutouts and sequin-styled leaves for her; black pants with draped tunic top for him

Program Layout:

NT Step Seq
Twizzles -- nice dowwn to knee transition between sets but separation issue
St Line Lift -- great exit on that
Dance spin - great entrance with good maintained speed
Rotational Lift
Ch Spin
Chor Character St Seq
St Seq in hold (diagonal)

Ok, I can do without the Eurotrash disco music in the third section of the dance (grrrr, the Russians do this so much). Technically these guys are superb. They do that Russian Dramah! Thing very well.

Keep an eye on them.

Score: 91.91 (48.86 TES, 43.05 PCS)

 

[Colonel Green]

There's suddenly lots of Benjamin Clementine in figure skating.

 

[cathlen]

Someone's liked Michal last year's music

 

[anonymoose_au]

I'm seriously into this couple...love their style and expression!

Also this Nemesis music is cool

 

[Ichatdelune]

Awesome twizzles from K/N!!

Overall great skating here, lovely lifts and such energy :luv17:

 

[4everchan]

well... i liked this music.. so it was easier to like the team.. but that lift, was tough.. and the choreo spin move even worse at the end... as if they got tired..

good until there
