Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe went to the olympics in 2006. They skated in the amatuer ranks for close to 20 years.
Oh and by the Way, I consider Marie France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon to be more artistic. Nothing can beat Love and Romance on the ice the way they did

Tessa was the one who said that they were disappointed with not going to Turin Olympics, not Scott.

Wing & Lowe won the silver at Canadians that year because of the compulsory dance. V&M had slightly higher scores in the OD and FD, but couldn't catch them because of compulsories.
In which interview did they say they should have been named to the team?

4'00. They were quite diplomatic. Was it true they were undermarked by the judges?

Maybe that's why he's doing it? I could totally see that. He's very pro-Canada in his comments (cheering for Toronto and Detroit during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, he's called Chan is favourite skater and Buttle's World LP his favourite skate).
And Lee Harvey Oswald is helping him!

Wonderfully said! I am disappointed in his remarks and am shocked he stated its a piss off. Not the way to address the judging of your training partners and rivals or to imply they are inferior to them artistically. I think someone needs to attend sensitivity class....... Def insert foot in mouth moment

I just editied my post near the top of the page.
Tne more things, they are World and Olympic Champions right?
Will making remarks like this help them?
Its almost 2012 now, I hope they are proud of their Olympics. Not making the 2006 Olympics is 6 years ago.

She said they were disappointed not to go, not that they were undermarked and deserved the spot over Wing & Lowe. She also said they tend to look at what they can improve upon rather than blame the judging. That wasn't crying foul at all. This came up in another thread too; Chan was criticized for saying he was disappointed to finish fifth at the Olympics. In both cases, being disappointed in a result doesn't mean you thought the judging was unfair, just that you were hoping for more success than you got.

Nothing remotely objectionable in that fun question and answer session with fans. Tessa says, "I can't think of any time that we felt we were robbed. We were disappointed that we didn't get to go to the 2006 Olympics. But (I couldn't make out the next sentence) -- those were different - or difficult? -- times?"

And I thought he was a friend of Charlie and Meryl. I guess his ego outranked whatever friendship he had with his training mates.

One of the consequences of trying new things - which they are with their Funny Face FD (portraying characters, different emotional tone then in the past) - is that they don't always get met with the same level of enthusiasm as your stock-and-trade. I myself find I'm not responding to Fliedermaus as much as Samson and Delilah because I prefer D/W majestic and dramatic.
No, making remarks like this won't help them get better marks.
They were asked specifically if they ever felt robbed by the judges. That was their response.
When I was 13, I poked my best friend in the eye with a highlighter because he pissed me off. We remained good friends for seven years+ after that. If the Canton quartet's friendship can't handle this.... well, lets think of happier times

It's always been that way. Plushenko and Weir were both hit with it. Candeloro and Stojko...
shoot Browning in commentary was not so... "nice" in his commentary of Alexi Urmanov and people were calling for sour grapes...
Nancy Kerrigan got hit hard by her remarks made about Oksana Baiul's crying at the olys...
this is hardly a NEW thing...
he may be referring to FSU and GS and other message boards (which were/are also called bulletin boards) and how we hash things out to death.
considering Tanith is dating Charlie White, it was definitely more amicable... that being said, Marina Zoueva was not so kind in her interviews about their leaving.
don't forget Lloyd Eisler, as well, had a massive issue with losing to those pesky russians (even as pros up against G&G)... his most famous quote is "I don't give a rat's ***" in regards to seeing their scores knowing their placement

Thank you thank you thank you! Ugh, I guess it's easy for Moir to have such hubris when they've been compared to Torvill and Dean so early on. They may have been the most consistent technicians of the past 2-3 years, but the most artistic of the past 5 years? No.
And Bonnie & Clyde >>> Valse Triste, imo.

In the USA (I don't know about Canada, but they do train in Michigan) in sports, if someone from the opposing team/coaches or from the media says something negative or humiliating about an athlete or a team, they post it on the bulletin board in the locker room, as something to motivate them with. I believe that's what Scott is talking about.
Sorry Scott. You did not skate well enough to win this competition. Be a sport about it. If getting PO'ed about these results motivates you (and Tessa) to skate better, so be it. Just don't whine in public because you did fall in the SD, and D&W skated two wonderful programs. I liked D&W's FD more than V&M's. There was more freedom in their skating, and they really sold it. It was beautiful. V&M skated very well in the FD, but just a bit less than D&W and the scores reflected that. Actually I thought D&W would win the FD by a bigger margin.
