2018 Lombardia Trophy Free Dance

[SnowWhite]

102+ puts them behind H/K, but it's certainly way better than 90-something they got at Asian Open. Onward and upward.

Only in the FD. They're ahead overall.

 

[viennaskater]

AWFUL! But they'll probably win because they're Italian.

 

[Mrs. P]

That will probably win. The bigger question is what crazy FD score they will get .

 

[pearly]

With both the Parsons and G/F I feel the lady is too tall for their partner. I like a bigger difference in height. It makes the lifts seem easier and effortless.

 

[Mohacz]

I don't like Charlene and Marco's program at all. And I think their skating in first part had nothing to do with the music. It improved with the change of the song, but still I think it is one of their weakest and lest memorable programs.

 

[Mrs. P]

Only in the FD. They're ahead overall.

Opps, forgot to put that in. I was speaking strictly about the FD score. I do think they probably lost levels somewhere (and they knew it).

I have yet to hear a cut of La La Land that works. It's the new Great Gatsby soundtrack.

 

[viennaskater]

For me it would be either Parsons/Parsons or Hurtado and whatsisname, followed by the Finns.

 

[WeakAnkles]

It was pleasant. The ending is a dud. But overall it was pleasant.

Of course they'll win. It's Lombardia.

 

[BillNeal]

I enjoyed that from G/F. They are not trend setters in terms of music choices but they said they wanted to skate to this last season but decided not to after so many teams announce it. So they brought it back and it shows that they enjoy skating to it; good performance qualities from both.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oof, I was not expecting the kick in the gut I felt when 'Audition' started up. I think I'll always associate that with Ashley now.

 

[LaArdilla]

Not a fan of La la land but I loved it! And can’t get enough of Charlene’s dress, such a beautiful shade of green! Why haven’t I found anything like that for my bridesmaid dress?!

Thank goodness its not just me thinking that.

That is my problem with La La Land soundtrack. The music doesn't give much range for expression. You have to act out the lyrics, which doesn't seem like a great idea.

I liked this one. It's very similar to what Ashley used I think?

But yes, LLL seemed like it would be so great on ice and then really failed to deliver.

117 is just silly.

 

[WeakAnkles]

117.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha.

 

[Mrs. P]

117+?!

Ugh.

 

[viennaskater]

I actually liked la la land when Astakhova and Rogonov skated to it.

Oh first place - blow me down, what a surprise (not).

I will not be happy until someone takes my suggestion and does half la la land and then cuts it off abruptly and puts on the Moonlight Soundtrack. And I'm going to keep talking about it until someone does it too.
