Lorraine McNamara / Anton Spiridonov (USA) - "Careless Whisper" by George Michael

[sunskate]

2024 Ice Challenge Graz Austria November 9-10, 2024

FD

Martinez/Bennett are a Novi team - he skated juniors in Carol Lane's camp. Martinez is new to me, but she has a nice dance quality to her movement and extension. they're using one of the same pieces of music as the Mrazeks. the elements look taken from a number of well known programs (like the last stationary lift looks like a P/C one or like Hannah and Ye's from Umbrellas). i guess with newer or younger teams, it's not as important to have a program that feels unique, it's a vehicle for learning

Shilling/Baeten look more assured, there's a confidence coming in which is really nice to see. they had their strongest RD yet

Hancock/Fourati - he and Alexia Paganini were partners in juvenile skating for the US? didn't know she ever ice danced. H/F have a Depeche Mode FD where the first song is kind of dirge like and draggy. the program picks up when it goes into Personal Jesus. i've seen people say it's an ice dance trick to use a long skirt to mask knee bend that doesn't match or isn't soft, and it feels a little bit like that here

Koncius/Shchepetov were much stronger in the FD than the RD - it's a Jean-Luc Romeo & Juliet program, the version with Kissing You. i don't love this music, but this program works really well for them - it's almost like Jean-Luc watched Madi and Zach have their R&J season and had thoughts about what a program to this piece could look like

Terreaux/Perron - another Zazoui, Olivier Schoenfelder team - funny how once you learn about someone you see their name everywhere. the French schools may have techniques in common, but aesthetically they're so different. maybe it's that Villard des Lans has such a specific sensibility and look. but the Zazoui school is much more classic. T/P have something fundamentally pleasing in their skating motion but they also skate so far apart in hold, what's with that

Pham/Spirodinov - Lorraine McNamara's a far stronger skater and personality, but she overshadowed Anton so much, and their programs were so iffy. makes me sad that she's without a partner. Anton's better matched here, and better packaging makes so much difference

Leia and Pietro won bronze!! i'm so happy for them - they had a great RD, their personal best score. the FD was lovely, but they had a twizzle glitch - consistency and finding their own way to attack their programs as they build their confidence under pressure seems like the work in progress. this was an exciting competition for them - they’ve always had musicality and sensitivity, and they look stronger

Cui/Rogers - though black swan feels kind of stale at this point, they look like they have ballet training, and the music does a lot of lifting, so i can see why this was the choice. they have nice carriage though it looks a little rigid. maybe more ease, flow and speed will come over time. they're only 18/22 yo, and they look like a good match. their Jacksons RD with her in a sparkly gold dress, can't help feeling like Novi copy/pastes somewhat for all but Z/K. they scored very close to Holly and Jason so will be interesting to watch how they progress. US dance is so very very crowded

Holly and Jason had some level issues and won the FD by only .11 in a competition that should have been theirs more easily. C/R hit all their levels - a really successful debut internationally. but the judging. lol the Bosnian judge gave Cui/Rogers 124.28 for their FD including a 9.0 in Presentation PCS. compare to Jeroen Prins, a very experienced judge from NED who gave them 98.71. there shouldn't be a 25+ point spread in a panel, that's ridiculous 😅💀

I think Lorraine's issue isn't necessarily age, she's still fairly young for an ice dancer, but height, she's on the taller side and very leggy. This is a block for a lot of potential partnerswaps-Ian and Gage are pbviously very short but Jeffrey isn't very tall either. Ian and Emily are also very good friends and he asked her to team up even when she was legit taller than him so I guess he's invested. Z/K are untouchable assuming Vadym's third try at dating his partner works out for him. I don't know what the Browns will do, she has more options than he does theoretically but idk. I'm genuinely unsure why no one has scooped up Isabella Flores and if there's something behind that, because she seems like an obvious pick for a lot of these guys.

Oh dear god are Z/K dating? Dude never learns (who was his second partner he dated?). I think the Browns won't split unless one of them retires, I respect Flores and partner being friends but it's hard to imagine them going places at least right now (their choreography and packaging are also very bad). I agree McNamara doesn't have options, I think they made nice progress this season so better just stick with it. Super curious to see who Chen partnered with and if they will be coached at MIDA or not.

Kaitlin & Jean-Luc in their 2nd season together, 17/20 yo, when they won every event except for a silver at JGPF - these are their Junior Worlds 🥇skates - they were so so good 😭 they’re so musical, look light and easy in hold, and already in such unison, their one foot is better as juniors than some senior teams, and they're skating with abandon

she was very emotional and open back then - look how she reacts at the end of their FD - hate to think how she was hurt over the years

of the 28 teams who competed at junior worlds in 2014, Kaitlin and Jean Luc are the ONLY team still competing. longevity like that takes such love and commitment and drive, you have to be well matched, you have to be good and produce results, and you have to have some luck - that you're recognized and have resources, that politically things line up well enough (even if in their case it's never been what they deserved), that you stay healthy, which they unfortunately haven't, recently

there are a few skaters still around from that competition, if not teams -- both Olivia and Tim were there with former partners, as were Michael Parsons, Romain LeGac and Lorraine McNamara. the other two teams on the podium split not long after
