No one else can do BOLERO they way T&D did it. Yes, give points to N-K for trying, but if the judges are the same ones who judged T&D; they're dead in the water. Susie Wynn's only comment about B-A's "Flamenco" number (and I love Ben's costume -- it is so Spanish grandee), was that they might have to ramp up the degree of difficulty of some of the 'lifts.' But we shall see, the computer may even make N-K and B-A another tie. Also, it may come down to the Original Dance (the part 2 of the 3 parts).

I thought that Israeli team is going to use it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Israeli team is going to use it as well. we'll see from the coverage of the Euros on January 29 on ESPN what Navka-Kostamarov and the Israelis' long program will be. BTW, Guard, it seems that Four Continents is pullling thru and it looks like it's a counter-programming to the Euros, which is why the Euros aren't included in it. Kinda dumb idea if you ask me.

Guardian Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Baron, that was the whole idea with the Four Continents Championships in the first place. I do admit that it is a dumb idea, but I guess "political correctness" was in order here? With that event, it would be nice who will be participating in it. My guess is the majority of those who didn't qualify for Torino 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
