Another medal for Italy
It seems another year that only by Worlds I/K would be the clear No.1. I like B/S' FD fine, it's their SD that I think isn't as good as I/K. But then, that FD is getting a little tiring by this point.
I/K was furiously fast. Man, if only not for those stupid gunshots. Cut them Morozov or I would shoot you.
i think BS could have beaten IK in the FD if they skated after them...

Protocols
I/K got level 2 for spin, 3 and 2 for steps. They could have taken gold if they had fixed this.
B/S got level 3 and 2 for steps, rest 4. C/L received the same.
Yes, C/L do not have the speed and power that B/S and I/K do. They gave a strong, clean performance but their elements weren't really "big".
But they clearly and undoubtedly had the most complex free dance. A lot of closed holds, a lot of connecting footwork, rich and detailed sophisticated movement.
And what did B/S and I/K show? Empty programs with hardly anything happening in between the elements. B/S weren't that bad but that "program" from I/K is just a joke. I mean they are stroking - pretty much apart - from one element to another. This is supposed to be ice-dancing?
Seeing C/L actually win the TES (which I did not expect) but receive lower PCS than those crap routines is just. SS I would agree with, PE could be close but everything else no way.
Overall the various strengths that B/S and I/K have could be enough for 1st and 2nd. And they did deserve to beat C/L in the SD. But those FD PCS are just not right. :/
If only the Russian fed wasn't so dumb as to keep putting b/s as Russian champs maybe I/k could have won! They are so dumb to keep putting b/s as champs. They got nothing! Lost the fd!
I/K got the highest pcs
B/s should be getting r/t pcs but b/s are Russian champs- the number one team. The Russian nationals judges need to get it right!
Out of all the terrible Morozov programs, I/K's FD is by far the worst. :/
Huh? B/S' skating is at a completely different level to R/T.Originally Posted by gmyers
Kustarova must be SO overjoyed right now.
BTW did anyone catch what the crowd was chanting after the ice dance medal ceremony?
more like very angry and envious
Well it's a victory for her that after she bitched, Bobrova and Soloviev didn't win the FD.
Medal ceremony was awesome! Catherine the Great was singing the Russian anthem as some rock star!
So refreshing to see the attitude that after mouring and stony faces that we normaly have to deal with at MC. Thanks!
