Soucisse and Firus 10th At Warsaw Cup
Carolane Soucisse and Shane Firus (Co. Wexford) have finished in 10th place in the Warsaw Cup ice dance event earlier this evening.
The three-time Irish champions began the competition in Poland’s capital yesterday with their New Kids On The Block rhythm dance. They put down Level 3 sequential twizzles and a Level 2 pattern type step sequence to get themselves under way. Their midline step sequence was graded Level 2 and they closed out with a Level 4 rotational lift and an engaging choreographic rhythm sequence. They earned a new season best score of 68.46 points to put themselves in eighth place overnight.
This evening Soucisse and Firus performed in the free dance to a selection of music from “Riverdance” by Bill Whelan. They commenced with a Level 4 dance spin which flowed into a choreographic sliding movement. Their one foot turns were both credited with a Level 1, while Soucisse garnered Level 4 for her synchronised twizzles with Firus getting Level 2. Their combination of straight line and rotational lifts came in at Level 4 for both elements while Soucisse was awarded Level 1 for their serpentine step sequence and Firus Level 2. They wound the routine up with a Level 4 stationary lift and two choreographic movements. They picked up an ISU season best score of 103.45 points and a total of 171.91 points.
