2021 Rostelecom Cup: Free Dance

[Seven Sisters]

Whoopsie! Let’s see the judges score that !

 

[Alegria]

I guess we'll see new WR.

I'm glad that Vika had a word with her dress designer.

 

[GGFan]

His shirt makes a program that should be about lines and beauty look sloppy. It's just a bad choice. That Paganini mess lacks taste. Their speed and power are undeniable though. They skate huge.

 

[litenkyckling]

still hate that music change and honestly the actual choreo steps - kind of reminds me of social dancing at school

 

[kmw227]

Was definitely nodding off in the middle of that but the stumble woke me back up They really are great skaters but their free dances are always so boring.

Wasn't she also famous for her glare at her partner during 2006 olympics?

sometimes you need to give a death stare or two

 

[Seven Sisters]

If I were Barbara , that would get a glare from me. And if I were a judge, I’d have that behind G/F

 

[readernick]

They are powerful. I like Viktoria. However, it is messy and I can't believe the judges give them this GOE. So, many small mistakes completely not noted in levels or GOE.

Yes

Totally understandable humanely reaction, but I can't be your Maurizio if you are Barbara. I can be your successful student

 

[GreenGan]

They are impressive but why is everything rushed ? (The first lift, huge crossover to get the speed then they slow and voilà : the lift. We also ask for quality, not just power.) This doesn't give me any emotion. And I hope they didn't get positive GoE for that stationnary lift...

Interesting that the scoring boxes reappeared with the last team. Yes, not sure how a spin that was seriously flawed at the end has a level 4 and positive goes.

Me, too. It isn't the same quality and it's meaningless. What is this program even about?

 

[Alegria]

And I think that SK's One Foot Step Sequence is soooo unremarkable.

 

[Hyena]

I think they should just use Paganini and have fun, that could make the character sequence actually pop instead of confusing you. But S/K are just not it for me.

 

[SnowWhite]

The music is odd, but the dance fits it, and I would be close to OK with this if it were not for the voiceovers, which are constant, and horrible. Even if they were to have one, very brief, one at the beginning, and then just dance after that. Please! Ditch the voiceovers!

The voiceovers are in the music (the parts by Estas Tonne and Zola Dubnikova). They didn't add them.

 

[magictodo]

What was the wardrobe malfunction?

 

[auser]

Thank you Mark for calling out the more simple holds by S/K. Sorry to Sinkat fans, they are entertaining skaters but not without imperfections

I've read them saying its about Russia...
