FD CHOCK/BATES-USA Amazing! Not a foot out of place. Every moment so perfectly choreographed and executed. Smooth, gooey knee action, tons of ice coverage, and intricate choreography... they are the complete package and the class of the event. Bravo!! 132.12SB 1st #GPFinal

FD GUIGNARD/FABBRI-ITA They skated this REALLY well. Their technique is so clean and they are wildly strong! This FD has lost something that I found really special early on in the season. 122.99 1st #GPFinal

FD FEAR/GIBSON-GBR The last 2/3 of this FD is so GOOD. Their perf quality and the way their personalities come through is brilliant. Lifts are spectacular esp the musicality of the last acro entrance for RoLi! SS are still lower than the rest of the field imo 122.87 1st #GPFinal

FD LAJOIE/LAGHA-CAN I'm going to run out of WOWs! This was breathtaking. Their combination of technical skill, emotional passion, and youthful exuberance makes them one of my favorite couples. Some of the best Tw in the biz. 122.11 1st #GPFinal

FD - GILLES/POIRIER - CAN Beautiful, fluid, incredibly difficult details throughout. I always appreciate their commitment to such unique and difficult transitional content. Tw right out of MiSt, combo RoLi, and ChAJ were all highlights for me! 127.12 #GPFinal

FEAR/GIBSON - GBR Very good performance. Lilah bobbling on jump entry on 1st Tw (L2, no jump feature and reduce by 1 level for the rotation check). Her edges were pretty shaky in the PSt. Fabulous and nuanced performance throughout especially in the ChRS. 82.31 3rd #JGPFinal

GILLES/POIRIER - CAN Paul caught heel on the boards and fell in the PSt. SO many points lost there. Gutted because I think this is one of the best RDs this season, showing the best of them. Tw were brilliant with such a difficult transition between 1st and 2nd. 72.15 4 #JGPFinal

GUIGNARD/FABBRI - ITA con't I LOVE the first 2 sections of this RD. They feel cohesive, in character, and are so well performed. I wish the last piece would fit better. #JGPFinal

GUIGNARD/FABBRI - ITA Proximity Alert! Their Tw and Midline step were SOOO close together... the amount of consisiancy and confidence it takes to do that is remarkable. They need higher than L2 in the PSt if they want to be at the top. 83.12 1st #JGPFinal

LOPAREVA/BRISSAUD - FRA WOW... ok, everyone is bringing their A game! Incredible technical edge precision. Evgenia has one of the best forward outside counters you could ask for. 76.98 2nd #JGPFinal

LAJOIE/LAGHA - CAN What a way to start the event!! Spot on Austin Powers flair at the beginning, great flow, and even better dancing. The speed and closeness of their first Tw is some of the best in the world. 77.73 #JGPFinal

That was some really terrific ice dance! This Final is going to be something special, I think. Guignard/Fabbri are going to have their work cut out for them if they are going to hold off all these incredible young teams.

CARREIRA/PONOMARENKO OMG! That was spectacular! The storytelling, the edge quality, the choreo, the Kiss. The lunge lift was crazy. The quick changes of direction in ChAssist Jumps was great. 119.33 into 1st! #NHK杯フィギュア

REED/AMBRULEVICIUS-LTU They are really powerful, precise skaters. Good edges, great speed. Super clean steps! Excellent Tw, tons of ice coverage. The choreo doesn't elicit the same emotional response for me as G/P. 117.61SB into 1st #NHK杯フィギュア
