2022 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy Free Dance

[Seven Sisters]

I keep thinking how they missed such a huge opportunity by not pinning her into one of those curly Irish dancing wigs. A cascade of bouncing blonde curls here would have everybody buzzing

 

[Seven Sisters]

Always and forever, the teddy bears of US ice dance

This is not the only example, I promise you

 

[elektra blue]

what a nice couple of leprechauns

 

[norwegianfairytale]

That was fantastic, loved it

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm, dunno, wasn't as fun as I expected but I am hung over and hungry so

Her dress is pretty but why did she choose black tights with that?

 

[Hyena]

I love a riverdance program, but I find Pate/Bye’s speed and expression to stay the same throughout instead of rising with the music.

 

[ana]

Eva/Logan their programme.

 

[kmw227]

I love that free dance

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice riverdance from Eva O'Pate and Logan O'Bye.

One more team to go, and I can get me a nice Irish coffee!

I love a riverdance program, but I find Pate/Bye’s speed and expression to stay the same throughout instead of rising with the music.

I agree, I am hoping that their speed will improve as they get more comfortable with the program.

Yeah, just after I pressed Post reply I noticed that but did not edit, because it was fun to watch.

Like the costumes, love the music, they skated well but their intensity stays the same and does not increase with the pace of the music. It drives me crazy that they almost slow down as the music picks up.

Come on La/La!

 

[TT_Fin]

After her career she can get married on that dress.

 

[sworddance21]

Her dress is pretty but why did she choose black tights with that?

Black tights are traditional with Irish step dancing costumes. I’m fillowing the forum for results so not actually seeing the costume, but that’s my guess given the Riverdance theme.

 

[labgoat]

Stunning rotational lift and spin. Higher level of skating skills than P & B at this point, but P & B drew you in more. I see this finishing first..

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm forever going to think Kolyada when listening to this music but that was a job well done (minus the twizzles, I saw him lose balance on the second set)
