REED / AMBRULEVICIUS (LTU) | Ice Dance Rhythm Dance | 2025 – Beijing

We didn't really feel we would see this team at this event but Alison Mead and Sally's Amber Leviticus have been through so much already and now one more hurdle for them to compete at the Winter Olympics Bolivia. So this is it a chance to represent their country Alison just received citizenship in December 2024. I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love love is going to leave. Too sexy for my head, so sexy it hurts. I'm too sexy for my man, too sexy for my man, New York and Japan. I'm too sexy for my love, too sexy for my love, love is going to leave by the sun. Well in this massive high pressure cooker of an event it's so nice to see a performance from Alison Mead and Sally's Amber Leviticus which just makes it easy for us all. Okay that was the best they deserve their spot thus far and I could not be more relieved for a team that have gone through so much to be here to just see them skate cleanly. I'm relieved. Yeah it's like you're the coach skating with them yeah they left no doubt they look secure there was no oh my gosh this is our moment they just they went for it. And you know we get invested as fans of the sport we're invested in the lives of these these humans and it's just such you know relief to know that people that have given so much to sport over so many years will hopefully now get closer ever one step closer to the recognition that they deserve and I think you can see a little bit of emotion from Alison there. How's Patrice? You know you wonder you wonder whether a moment like this is actually heightened more than the Olympic performance itself yeah because that is the end of the road. Yeah that's such a good question because you know I wish them all the very best for Alison and Sally's but I don't think there'll be a medal contention in the game so getting there is what it takes we saw their training mates Harley and Jason do a single loop jump as part of their preparation they did a single salchow as the preparation difficult entry group c feature little little hiccup here on the rotation I thought for Alison but still coming in at a level four so all good well they have a personal best of 81.19 anything close to that will take the lead for sure great expression and remember it was the rhythm dance that causing the problems of the world so there must have been they have competed this season already they did well I'm sure there was anxiety and memories and and what's next in box but they delivered it's always that little that just a little bit of a doubt of something that's happened in the past or creeping at the moment that you least need it or don't want it but it didn't no thank goodness there they are and there's Chris Reed the picture that we see every time she still looks nervous she's totally it's gonna be okay all four of them that is a sigh of relief as they take the lead you can see how much this means it's a competition yes but it's bigger than that it's also a dream
