[GoneWithTheWind]

There are certainly some abrupt music changes going on in this selection...

The rare T keypoint!

this is the Dodds who's also a single skater, right?

Yes but was. He retired from singles after Nationals this season

This was their first Worlds together! He hadn't even been doing ice dance a full year at this point.

sadly it shows according to the score box, they didn't get a single green mark.

Yeah, I don't think anyone - even them - was expecting much better than this result, but the fact they went from 0 to Worlds minimums in the span of about seven months was very impressive and got quite a lot of us excited. If we'd made the team event, they would have gone to the Olympics.

It feels weird now to see Soucisse/Firus in the second flight

 

[karne]

All right all, going to have an early night before I dream in latin rhythm haha. See you tomorrow for the FD!

 

[elektra blue]

lunch break, see you in the 3rd group

I didn't remember that the rhumba pattern only had 3 key points. Can anybody tell me how did you get a level 4 back then? The key points and... what else?

I think it went:

3Ns = Level 1
1Y 2Ns = Level 2
2Ys 1N = Level 3
3Ys = Level 4

 

[aname]

Oh Cessiville, another one of these teams that don't exist anymore

The Aussies are the only ones we've seen this far that are still together and skating, I think?

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

I always forget that Anna was Junior World Champion until I look at her biography and get reminded! I'm glad she found another partner after Sergei and continued skating.

Are they split/retired? Or were they injured this season and planning a comeback?

I'm not sure why they were absent this season but I think they're planning a comeback. They posted something on Instagram in February about returning after 7 months off, so hopefully we'll see them next season.

I love Carolane and Shane's lift :luv17:

 

[aname]

That lift always makes me a bit nervous because of her blade being so near his face (eeeek!)

But yeah a nice one from Caro&Shane! I hope they'll be able to find their groove again after a couple of rough seasons

I also appreciate that in this group there are several guys wearing something other than a solid black v-neck lol

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh right, Yura's previous partner

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

And with the introduction of this group we're up to 4/12 non split or retired couples so far...
Allison / Saulius
Anna / Adam
Carolane / Shane
Chantelle / Andrew

 

[elektra blue]
