Paskud Posted December 8, 2018 Protocols http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1819/gpf1819/gpf1819_IceDance_RD_Scores.pdf Comparing levels and GOE is... uh... G/F deserved better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyLou Posted December 8, 2018 so.... what the heck happened here? My poor predictions and sad for S/B the gap isn't big but in ID and against H/D it's huge... well, I'm happy that G/F had another very good outing with their RD (SB!), I had liked it the best in GP Helsinki. I wish I could get into H/D, things would be so much easier, but I really can't oh well, it looks like they got it in GOE and PCS... I don't know enough about ID to say if deserved or not It looks like H/B had a SB too! Happy for them! I hope S/B will bounce back in the FD...but tbh I'd also be happy with G/F and S/K on podium...tho I don't like G/F LLL FD...tbh I'm mostly rooting for S/K to grab a medal...) good luck for the free dance to all the teams!

Nutmeg Posted December 8, 2018 How did S/B end so low, I thought they were as good as usual. A lot of politics going on to always place them under S/K imo, who seem to gather more support H/D have a super boring free but they'll probably win this, barring some big mistake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S/K got levels 4 and 2 and S/B got basic level () and 3 on patterns, so their placements are understandable. The worst thing are H/D scores. They got levels 1 and 2 on patterns but the highest GOE on this elements!! Higher than S/K and G/F level 4. And Z/G was the ONLY team with level 4 on 2nd pattern, but their GOE is LOWEST, wtf?!

Paskud Posted December 8, 2018 I'm obsessed with S/B RD, levels or not. It's SO GOOD, GOD!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Cat Lady Posted December 9, 2018 I find ice dance in general boring but S/B really seem to have star quality. Enjoy watching them a lot. did everyone fall asleep before the free dance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beki Posted December 9, 2018 I’m an H/D fan but I really think they should change this dance. At the venue btw. S/B’s program is as exciting as it looks. R rated lol! Maybe they’re a victim of their own passion, getting a little rough around the edges. S/K skated well, but imo only placed that high because they received the Russian push after S/B’s RD mistake. Sort of a Yulia/Adelina situation where one is immediately swapped for another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Cat Lady Posted December 9, 2018 Lol, it's good to see other people are watching. btw, when I asked if everyone fell asleep, I meant us satellites, not the skaters. I was watching Skate Talk and PJ Kwong seems to love H/D's dance. This movie version of R&J is really becoming a warhouse. I don't like this program at all - snooze. I thought the Italian couple was nice. When I watch S/K, the only thing I can think about is how much better he is than her. I feel sorry for Z/G - they're clearly going to get passed at the national level when the juniors come up. I know nothing about dance so I only comment on who I think is pretty and who I like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beki Posted December 9, 2018 H/D’s dance doesn’t work and I say that as their fan... Jun and Kostornaia’s R/J do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicFS Posted December 9, 2018 I'm sad about Stepanova/Bukin. I guess Bukin's mistake on the twizzles helped. But I am really confused, because when I saw them and Guignard/Fabbri in Helsinki, S/B looked so much faster, more fierce, and had more intricate moves. I was surprised their total points were so close then. And of course, I continue to be surprised now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
