Trophee Eric Bompard Free Dance

Group 1

Hurtado/Diaz, ESP: 26.71 TES + 33.33 PCS -2.00 = 58.04 Total: 103.75

• Nice lift with him in a spread eagle and her flipped upside down on his leg with her foot to her head
• Decent step sequence and you can tell she is making an effort to really stretch through her free leg
• Good speed in their dance spin with a nice change of foot--interesting spin with him in the camel and her in the standing position
• Nice reverse lift in a straightline position and him balancing on her knees but I thought he was going to sit on her when they exited from the lift
• A little awkward position with her on his boot and holding her leg behind her with her arms crossed
• He takes a big fall on the first set of their twizzles and can't complete the second and they don't hold their positions relative to each other
• They look a little hesitant on the spins in this second step sequence
• Nice rotational spin with her leaning back

Gorshkova/Butikov, RUS: 34.71 TES + 35.00 PCS = 69.71 Total: 118.48 and into 1st place

• I don't understand their costumes at all
• Nice flip lift into an uninspiring position on his leg in a spread eagle
• Nice rotational lift with her suspended over the ice
• Nice set of twizzles with decent unison and good speed
• She looks really hesitant in the turns in the step sequence and they're not really selling the passionate flair they need for a tango
• REally nice rotational lift with he wrapped around his head in a catchfoot position
• Nice split lift in a hydroblade
• A lot of running steps across the ice but that's the only real tango feel in this program
• Rotational lift in a haircutter--pretty vanilla on the lifts

Huang/Zheng, CHN: 38.03 TES + 37.95 PCS = 75.98 Total: 126.69 and into 1st place

• He looks like he's rotating the twizzles faster than her but they stay together for all three sets
• Jump twist into a lift with changes of position but they changes need to be faster and more seamless so they don't get caught in awkward transitional poses
• Footwork slow and not a lot of tango flair
• Another really slow lift in the change of positions
• Decent dance spin but really awkward change of direction
• Rotational lift with her in a haircutter position
• They're just going through the motions on a lot of these tango steps
• Their leg lines are well matched through this step sequence and it's well timed with the music

Chock/Bates, USA: 39.29 TES + 40.64 PCS -1.00 = 78.9 Total: 130.94 and into 1st place

• They look so comfortable skating with each other for such a short time training
• She takes a little bobble out of a turn getting back into the hold but they have a great connection with each other through this sequence
• Nice entrance to the lift with him in a spiral position on one leg going backward and her balancing on his leg in a catchfoot position
• Cartwheel into a spread eagle lift and flip back into a hold on his boot
• They get really close on the twizzles and she trips over his foot and falls
• Nice edgework and matching lines on this step sequence
• I wish they had better music as this is kind of elevator quality and they both have such great performance quality
• Rotational lift with her balancing on his head
• Really nice positions in the dance spin with great speed
• Split position for her with him in a hydroblade
• I think they still need to get comfortable with their height difference as he looks a little hunched over at times 

Group 2

Ilinykh/Katsalapov, RUS: 37.65 TES + 44.50 PCS = 82.15 Total: 140.31 and into 1st place

• She's wearing her hair up this week with ribbon in the twists--I preferred it down much better
• One armed rotational lift with her holding her leg
• They have great speed, edges and lines but this choreography just does not show them off to their best potential
• Nice step sequence really working around the edges of the ice and getting great coverage
• Really far apart on their twizzles but they looked in sync
• Big set up to their rotational lift with him holding her leg to her head
• Nice lift with her rotating around him as he skates backward on one leg
• Nice counterbalancing spin to start their dance spin but not a lot of speed
• They spend a lot of time waiting for their music as there's just not enough for them to do
• Nice change of holds throughout this second step sequence and a lot smoother than last week
• Great final lift with her reaching over the ice from his knee but it looks like they struggle to get out of it a bit
• Overall much better than last week, but I'm not crazy about this program

Cappelini/Lanotte, ITA: 42.43 TES + 46.71 PCS = 89.14 Total: 153.76 and into 1st place

• Very close distance on their twizzles and great unison
• Very smooth on this step sequence with nice deep edges
• Nice flip up to a lift with her on his head and touching toes to her head
• The black tights make her leg really stand out and in this case it's good because you can see how clean her lines are
• One armed rotational lift with her in a pencil position
• Really nice layback position from her in the dance spin but they really lose speed after the change of foot
• Straightline lift with him on one leg and her legs extended over the ice
• Split lift with her leg over his shoulder

Pechalat/Bourzat, FRA: 47.33 TES + 50.71 PCS = 98.04 Total: 164.56 and into 1st place

• Nice opening lift with her in a handstand on his shoulders
• Nice position with him on his knee and her bent back over the ice
• Lots of intricate coordinating armwork from them to set the Egyptian theme
• A little off on their first set of twizzles but the second two are very nice
• I would like to see more connection between the two of them since she is supposed to be his dead wife brought back to life
• Lift with him in a spread eagle and her standing on his lift and she bends back into their rotational lift
• Good speed and ice coverage through the step sequence right into their dance spin with good speed and nice positions with a good change of direction
• Nice change of positions wrapping up and then down in the last lift but a little difficulty getting out of it and they finish just a hair before their music

Virtue/Moir, CAN: 50.96 TES + 55.79 PCS -1.00  = 105.75 Total: 176.93 and into 1st place

• They look so elegant in this program
• Great speed and use of their full body going into this step sequence to really capture the old time feel of their program
• Nice lift with her on his shoulder and him one one foot with a flip exit
• Easy twizzles with good distance between them
• Nice dance spin with good change of foot and good speed throughout
• Such nice ease through this step sequence and nice matching lines and edges
• Flip into a lift with her wrapped around his shoulders in a catchfoot position
• Kick over the head into a lift with her standing on his leg and bending back into a rotational lift with her holding on to his neck with her legs
• She is just perfection in this program and there are a few places that he overacts

Group 1

Lena Marrocco, FRA: 43.14 TES + 39.88 PCS = 83.02 Total: 126.97

• Triple lutz + double toe
• Triple toe step out
• Triple toe + double toe
• Nice donut position in her camel spin and a nice stretched out sit spin
• Popped her loop into a double but a nice landing
• Popped open her lutz
• Double axel was nice
• Flying entry into the sit spin with a not so pretty broken leg variation
• She's really fighting these edge changes in her step sequence and a few places looks like she's struggling
• A nice scorpion spiral position
• She needs to work on her hands and making sure they have a prettier position while she's skating
• Double axel + double toe + double loop was tight
• Very nice layback spin into a Biellman but she finished after the music

Yretha Silete, FRA: 47.60 TES + 42.05 PCS -2.00 = 87.65 Total: 135.90 and into 1st place

• It's nitpicky but she needs to use hair colored bobby pins--the 8 silver hair pins are really distracting
• Nice triple loop
• Fall on the triple flip
• I don't think this pastel costume really matches her music--it looks like it belongs to a more lyrical program and she's going for power here
• Nice triple toe + double toe + double toe
• She needs to keep that leg right behind her on the spiral and not hike the hip so much
• Fall on the triple lutz
• The necklaces on her back are really distracting on the layback--they almost come over her head and it looks like they're going to wrap around her neck
• She needs more stretch through her lines and deeper edges through this step sequence
• Great height and fast rotation on her double axel
• Great speed through her camel spin but unattractive positions
• Triple salchow with a step out and big ice spray
• Nice double axel + double toe
• Decent camel spin position but a bit of a struggle in the upright position and she finishes after her music

Sonia Lafuente, ESP: 42.99 TES + 43.82 PCS = 86.81 Total: 136.32 and into 1st place

• Hand down on her triple lutz
• Nice triple loop + double toe
• Double toe
• Triple toe
• Nice high leg position in the camel spin but I don't know if she gets low enough in the sit position to count 
• Double loop
• Double axel was nice
• She needs to really work on stretching through that spiral and flexibility through her back
• Double axel + double toe with not a lot of height
• Good speed through her combination spin but she needs to really stretch through that free leg in the sit position
• Not a lot of upper body movement in this step sequence but a good amount of turns
• Nice layback position into a haircutter and a decent Biellman

Mae Berenice Meite, FRA: 51.87 TES + 44.08 PCS -1.00 = 94.95 Total: 145.44 and into 1st place

• I wish she would either keep her tights tucked in to her boots or cover them completely.  This half coverage of her boots ruins the line
• Double axel + triple toe
• Fall on the triple loop--she just sat down on it and didn't fight for the landing
• Triple lutz right on the music
• Decent camel spin position but her upright spin has no stretch through either leg
• Good triple flip
• Nice layback spin but her Biellman is too far from her and slows down
• Double axel + double toe + double toe
• Good spiral position
• Hand down on the triple lutz
• Triple toe
• It really takes her a long time to catch the foot and bring it into the donut position in her camel spin
• The movements in her step sequence seem a little heavy and she's not really gliding across the ice

Group 2

Viktoria Helgesson, SWE: 48.59 TES + 52.15 PCS = 100.74 Total: 154.90 and into 1st place

• I love her elegant packaging in this program--it suits her so well
• Triple toe + double toe + double loop
• Doubled her flip
• Triple loop
• I'd like to see more stretch in her free leg and more abandon through this step sequence to really sell the character of the program
• Very fast camel spin but I'm not crazy about her broken leg variation
• Triple flip
• She needs more flexibility through her back to be able to really show off that spiral position
• Double axel+ double toe
• Nice speed in the camel spin with a nice low sit spin position with a good twist variation
• Triple loop
• Triple salchow with a turnout
• She needs to stretch through the free leg in her sit spin position
• Finishes just after the music

• Pops her flip jump into a double lands two footed and then stumbles out of it
