2021 Denis Ten Memorial: Senior Free Dance

Not what I was expecting. At all.

I never want to hear that version of "Bad Romance" ever again.

And where is the stripper costume I was expecting (and wanting!) to see Alexandra wearing?

"Moulin Rouge" my backside!

I want my money back!

(Hey, that would be a great song for a skating programme!)

Still love them, though. Just don't love this programme.

Wow!

That is the biggest audience reaction I have heard so far at this event.

Without a doubt Elizaveta KHUDAIBERDIEVA / Egor BAZIN are going to go into a big lead. It is just a question of how much.

And of what their compatriots will be able to do next.

how in the hell Bad Cover was better than Khudaiberdieva/Bazin?

It was just way better. And it's not like KB was an original.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

What?! They didn't!!!

I know Alexandra is one of my skating crushes, and always want her and Maxim to do well. But that is not right.

Nobody is going to tell me that their "Bad Romance" programme was better than what followed it.

Bad Romance (awuful) cover -----------> Bad Cover

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Right, this is going to be interesting.

I would have this above Alex and Max as well. But, after what we have just seen, who knows what is going to happen?!

[CaroLiza_fan]

Phew! They win by a good margin.

Neither will I. Old people like me have to go to bed early.

Whatever your plans are, enjoy yourself!

some interesting things going on with these technical panels.... the levels are a joke, is everyone watching the same competition
there is a disjoint from Grand Prix to this organized B competition. level 4 are begin given where you can't even see a level 2

There has always been a disjoint between GPs and some B competitons. This is one of the reasons why scores from B competitons don't count for Season Best lists.
However, you are right that Challenger Series events should have been less erratic, but the overscoring in some of them seems a bit out of control (and not only ID).
Nazarova/Nikitin's score here is in line with their score at Victor Petrenko Cup last week where teams such as Fear/Waddell and the third Australian couple were scoring 13 points higher than at Budapest Trophy the previous week (to give an idea how generous was the scoring at VPC).

this was a challenger ( but the mix of countries very narrow )
