The pure joy on Artem's face gives me major Jason Brown vibes. They both look like they're having a blast. Can't wait to see how this program progresses over the season.
This team will win an Olympic gold medal SOMEDAY, but they have a ways to go yet. They are first year senior, they need to work on depth of edge and speed, but I love love love them
They need to understand the Abba pieces they are skating to, and change their personalities accordingly when the music switches. They make it look like they're skating to Grease somehow rather than the bitter sweet pathos of Abba music.
Because the theme the ISU gave is "dance party to 20th century music." They have to meet the criteria the ISU gave them. It's very difficult to play bittersweet pathos while embodying dance party, which implies carefree joy. This is a first year senior team their first time out, of course it's not going to be perfect. Even Chock and Bates improve their programs as the season goes.
@@elir9661 Yes WE ALL know a rhythym dance theme and music is selected for them each year my comment and concern is that MUSIC THEME IDEA CHOREOGRAPHY AND COSTUMES are critical each year and in my view although this team has UNLIMITED potential this just misses the mark but will see how this comes together later in the season the freedance is also FORGETTABLE in my view again COSTUMES THEME IDEA MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY are all critical yes chock and bates have had nice selections in the past it also helps that they have years of experience as a top team!
@@grantnoroyan4083 re: C/B"it also helps that they have years of experience as a top team." That's so close to getting my point. If C/B as an extremely experienced team need the season to fully develop a program, why would we be expecting top level interpretation from a first year senior team on their very first skate of the season? They're going to learn, it takes time. And my guess is their actual costumes are still in production with the designer so they wore things they've worn in exhibitions and shows for these skates. And they weren't the only team to do that here, the Browns wore last year's costume for the RD.
@@elir9661 i think we see things pretty close and yes i am aware they dont have the outfits yet thats only PART of the issue here the MUSIC THEME IDEA CHOREOGRAPHY MATERIAL etc fall FLAT yes of course its earlier in the season and things can get better however this needs alot of work BOTH programs do! as regard to chock bates they have experience they usually pick fairly good material music and theme so will see what happens with them they are competing in 2 months! at skate america
