the Browns skating James Brown was my favorite performance of the day - really good, really fun ❤️‍🔥 they do the splits on the ice together - the deep curves they’re drawing on the ice the whole time too🔥 they always had skating skills, but they’re skating bigger and with a bit more power. they might have scored higher if they skated later. Pate/Bye got higher PCS then them 👀

there are a lot of Saturday Night Fevers, Car Wash, James Brown. two teams doing Rich Man’s Frug from Sweet Charity - it’s so in Lauriault/LeGac’s wheelhouse that it feels perfect for them

Flores/Desyatov: the Twist, Jungle Boogie, and Great Balls of Fire - one from each decade, i guess? they feel so chaotic lol sometimes it works, like the way they go into the lift - and other times it feels disorganized?

Browns: James Brown Get Up Offa That Thing. awesome- they wore older costumes, as did other teams

Pate/Bye: Le Freak, Car Wash, Shake Your Groove Thing

Neset/Markelov: ABBA - Waterloo, Fernando, Gimme Gimme Gimme

Fabbri/Ayer: Elvis - Jailhouse Rock, Suspicious Minds, Blue Suede Shoes - looking good - they always feel like a broader strokes team to me, primary colors - it’s not what i gravitate to personally, but they skated well

Annabelle Morozov/Jeffrey Chen: also James Brown Get Up Offa That Thing, I Feel Good - they’ve gelled much faster than he did with his previous partners. they had the tough luck of skating just after the Browns, and this program isn’t good by comparison. idk about MIDA choreo 😬

Bashynska/Beaumont: after seeing more of the RDs for this season, it feels like this isn’t doing them any favors

Tkachenko/Kiliakov: Adriano Celentano - Svalutation, Amore no - nobody can say they’re not unique. i’d never heard of this artist, but i guess he was a huge deal and sold 150 million records. it has a different sound from everyone else, and she’s wearing a dress that looks like Mondrian

Larson/Kapran: the other Rich Man’s Frug - this program was fun and had a lot of character, but i’m surprised it scored as high as it did

Lily/Nathan: both songs by The Commodores - Brick House and oof i’m blanking on the other one. i feel like they were underscored a bit - they’re performing bigger, looking good- maybe the song choices aren’t distinctive enough? Pham/Spiridonov: Dirty Dancing - Do You Love Me, Crying, Wipe Out - tailor made to show what they can do while disguising what they don’t do well yet. probably ranked higher than they really skated

Dozzi/Papetti: Tequila and Jump in Line - i loveeee this - what could be a novelty program is an adorable dance program- they calibrated this so well - the choreo, the costumes, and these two 😘

Nosovitskys: Saturday Night Fever - their coach is an ISU tech specialist and they often look kind of frantic because they seem to propel themselves with short choppy strokes. idgi

Fournier/Zhu: Back Street City Lights, Kung Fu Fighting

Alyssa Robinson/Jacob Portz: Saturday Night Fever - they were a tiny bit late for their warmup - came hurrying in with Madi and Adrian - don’t know what happened- they really get into character with this dance style- they, especially him have a sense of cheekiness about it- she had a fall in the MiSt today unfortunately

Roberts/Alis: Rolling Stones - Miss You, Satisfaction - they’ve grown a lot since moving to IAMO

Shilling/Baeten: James Brown - I Feel Good, Super Bad - hello new IAMO team, I wasn’t familiar with them from before- looking forward to more

Ritter/Brykalov: Boney M - Daddy Cool. Fever- good to have them back♥️

Chen is Karen Chen’s (successful women’s skater) brother. He also skates at MIDA under Charlie White and Tanith White (Olympic medalists). USFS wants the Whites to be successful to compete with IAM in Montreal/Ontario. Unfortunately Charlie (while I love him) has boring teams and even more boring choreo (imo) but USFS is gonna push them anyway. M/C have not been given a GP spot so they don’t actually have as many spots as B/V (thank god). Annabelle’s dad is also a well known person in the skating world. Elena is still kinda an up and comer in seniors so between Montreal (Chock/Bates and kinda Oona and Gage), Scott Moir (CPom), Igor (Zingas/Kolesnik and Pate/Bye), and the MIDA teams (Green/Parsons, Bratti/Somerville, Morozov/Chen) she has a lot of work to do politically. It helps her husband is an ISU tech controller but we shall see. I lowkey wonder if Montreal tries to poach one of her teams after Maddie and Evan retire (or they try to poach Green/Parsons) to keep another American team at the Montreal location and not just the Ontario location. Montreal has Pham/Spiridonov but idk if that’s gonna go anywhere and i think Montreal would want a potentially competitive American team.

Thank you for this!

Grand Prix France Entry #6

Same commentator here. Laughing at the pauses in his speech.

Women short program

Alena Kostornaia(RUS)

Thoughts: she has this smug smile on her face and I didn’t like her ending pose.

Anna Shcherbakova(RUS)

Thoughts: Her biellman position was awkward looking. And what did she do with her hair?!

Short dance

Rensburg/Steffan(GER)

Thoughts: Jennifer has this really fun flirty approach to this music. Very nice. It’s a shame Benjamin had that fall and the wobbly twizzles.

Morozov/Bagin(RUS)

Thoughts: I liked Annabelle’s ending pose. She tries so hard to show off those legs but I just wasn’t terribly attracted to her.

Turkklia/Versluis(FIN)

Thoughts: Julia tends to enchant me the minute she starts moving. And that dress is beautiful.

Demougeot/Mercier(FRA)

Thoughts: Locia giving Julia a run for her money. Especially that stationary lift. She’s something special.

According to Dave (grain of salt?) Michael Parsons just got knee surgery so that’s why G/Pa’s assignments are later. In the next breath, CPom Carmen?!

oof Dave did say Michael "just" had knee surgery- i wonder what his recovery timeline is - it's going to take time for him to be back full strength

he also said Vanessa Pham/Anton Spiridonov are training at IAM

his insistence that Ian is too good for Emily is starting to make me mad - Emily is the solid foundation of that partnership near as i can tell - she's right there with him doing the "hardest twizzles in the field." and Ian's learning curve on partnering is in progress. this week it was Annabelle Morozov that Dave wants Ian to pair with (which, what? they don't seem like a match in the least). anyone can have a fluke mistake, but if it was Emily instead of Ian who fell at Worlds, he'd be much harsher on her than he's been on Ian. justice for Emily lol

so that's why Gr/Pa's assignments are later, but those are the same 2 GPs as CPom's. i wonder if it was chance or by request that they have late GPs as well

Charlene Guinard and Marco Fabbri of Italy dominated the competition at the Lombardia Trophy to win the gold by over 38 points. The US went 2-3, with Annabelle Morozov and Jeffrey Chen winning the silver and Leah Neset and Artem Markelov winning the bronze.
