did chock and bates really get lvl 4 in all the elements on their free dance at worlds?
Q #210:
Hi anon,
Short answer is no. They should have lost levels on the diagonal step sequence, twizzles, and one foot turn sequence. However, for the first time all season EB finally achieved a full lunge position for their SlLi.
Tumblr media
DiSt:
MC: flat on S-step RBO exit, no sustained RBO on rocker exit
EB: hopped RBI counter, flat on rocker RBO exit
SyTw:
Both pirouette on CW twizzles, MC pirouettes just 2 rotations in and has 2 rotations with no linear movement, should have been a level and GOE reduction
OFT:
Both hop RBI counter (EB more egregiously) and scratch their RFI brackets on exit
I also want to note that a fall has ALWAYS been defined as a serious error. It’s frankly the one thing that has always unambiguously been defined as a serious error. It doesn’t have to be on an element. As of 2010 In ice dance “a loss of balance or stumble” counts for a 0.5 deduction in SS per partner, so not even a fall, necessitates a cap. So, their PCS of 57.22 should have been maxed out at 52.50 (8.75/mark). Even by the new PCS standards (composition, presentation, skating skills) where the error is penalized less harshly and assuming that otherwise their PCS was worthy of 10s (which… no comment) and should have been capped at 9.50, France, Switzerland, and Estonia all gave 9.75s. France and Switzerland in skating skills.
I tried to make a video but Adobe is currently angry with me so I'm putting it on the back burner unless people are interested.

US Nationals 2023 - FD Breakdown
Chock/Bates
Tumblr media
ChAJ: last jump (pictured below) exceeds 1 rotation limit by assisting partner but as it is the fourth jump (and jump sequences just have to have a minimum of three jumps) and can technically be considered a separate mini-lift, does not impact validity/GOE of ch. element.
Tumblr media
DiSt: very open overall, generally you can tell in both the rocker and counter done by Madi that she is bearing very little of her own weight. Better ice coverage than previous outings this season.
Tumblr media
ChSp: spinning slide with the entrance is a very creative way to use the sliding split. Would honestly be a better fit for their choreo slide.
Twizzles: Madi pirouettes the last 2 rotations of her second set of twizzles, should be a deduction of 1 level to W3 / M4. Not great speed
Tumblr media
SlLi: smooth, very controlled lean and movement of her leg by Madi, good control on exit but lunge is very shallow and not well controlled.
Tumblr media
OfSt – generally will be on flatter curves on their exit edges before taking a bit to deepen between. Madi stays over her rocker throughout turns but Evan tends to lean forward on his backwards exits which puts him on his toe pick, you can tell because his blade will catch on the ice and he will slow down in comparison.
Tumblr media
Sp: very cool entrance with smooth transitions in and out, very clear establishment of positions.
Tumblr media
CuLi + CuLi: first lift a lot more established than earlier in the season but the transition between the two positions takes quite a while for Madi to establish her standing position. Additionally, Evan’s 1ft exit is rather rushed for feature and is not held to match Madi’s extension, you can see it’s a little uncontrolled through the dip exit they’re doing and he immediately begins quick stroking to pick up speed after instead of extending and holding.
Tumblr media
ChSt: interesting mini-lift to start but a rather extended pose before the ina bauer into deep outside besti squat, you can see Madi slightly catch her edge on the arabesque out but overall much better than the earliest iteration which had very few skating features. Would like to see more involvement of Evan as Madi is doing the vast majority of all skating and dancing in the element.
OVERALL changes to the TES score, not considering PCS. Even though Nationals scores tend to be high with the pretty obvious insecurity during the combination lift and sub-par step execution, that score should not near 130.

2022 Worlds entry #7
Short Dance
Papadakis/Cizeron(FRA)
Thoughts: Anyone that thinks Guillaume is attractive, please get your eyes checked. Gabby has gorgeous arms and I love this wine red color on her.
Chock/Bates(USA)
Thoughts: The lime green on the inside of Evan’s jacket. Has it always been like that? I really love it.
Free Dance
Papadakis/Cizeron(FRA)
Thoughts: the ending felt overdone. But I liked Guillaume’s sparkles.
Chock/Bates
Thoughts: that opening lift is quite the attention-getter.
2022 Norwegian nationals
Junior women free program
Oda Havgar
Thoughts: the video could’ve done with better lighting. But I liked the little touches of purple throughout her dress.

NHK RD 22 - Chock Bates
Elements:
Tw 4+4 +2.74 | MiSt 2+3 +3.14 | PDS 3 +3.99 | CuLi4 | ChRhSq +5.25
Both in the Twizzles and in the step, their Twizzles still didn’t have the same snap and unison that they are so known for. Overall much better and cleaner than Skate America, but not up to par with their expectations in my opinion.
Program: David Bowie
All together, much improved upon from Skate America, but this still just feels very mid for them. Almost like a tired victory lap or encore that they are having fun with, but aren’t taking fully seriously. Or, put full thought and effort into. They seriously have a long way to go still if they really want to fight for even a silver against GP, GF, HB and hell, even FBS.
Also, for a team so well known for their performance and attention grabbing themes and especially choreographic sequences, the ending ChRhSq is still just kind of a basic letdown. Even if wel performed, it feels tired and overplayed and choreographed nearly identically to 70% of the ice dance field…
While I do think both costumes are very nicely done (of course they are, they’re by Mattieu and probably $3000 a piece) but they feel a little on-the-nose American, ya know? Theyre still pretty Bowie, but it’s a little fireworky for me
Score: 85.00 into 2nd place — a huge score, ALSO visible by Madison’s face. But I’m so glad that the judges actually placed these two programs correctly.
