They actually have already split from one another once and then reunited though. I hope this time it sticks.

Sure but you can still see they've skated a long time together.

I guess the point that I am trying to make is that D/R's programs are extremely well constructed. The high caliber of their construction makes the programs worthy of OGM. Whether the skaters have the showmanship and technical skills to do them justice is another thing. I think they were nervous at this home competition and that they are better than they seemed this weekend.

I don't think her height situation is quite that dire. Even with the 'age controversy' and assuming she's 16, she is probably done growing, and I think she could still grow maybe one or two inches with them still able to make it work. More than that, though, I admit would be disastrous.

I said in the past. Of course they were overscored in pcs this time due to (1) world medal reputation bonus point and (2) home turf advantage. In the past, judges did not really like them that much.

height wise and lines, Yu/Jin the current juniors have more potential for the future than Sui/Han

Yeah, that's insane. Maybe they take 'inflation' for granted?

Having jam packed elements or choreography doesn't matter so much if the quality isn't there. And they are highly lacking in quality. Not just in terms of S/S and V/T but in terms of other teams like B/H. Its unfortunate because Radford is a fabulous pairs skater... But she....
As for the booing, its one thing to boo when someone wins with multiple errors. But the home town team was not clean and had a 5 point PCS advantage over the winners who WERE clean. The booing is ridiculous.

Same reason Mexicans booed when their titleholder did not win Miss Universe when it was held in Mexico City. The competition and the results are tied to the sense of national pride. I do not think we understand this passion here in the US; well maybe only New Yorkers that are die-hard Yankees' fans like myself do.
OMG Gracie's SP music is on :no:

She doesn't have breasts but still struggling with side by side jumps. If she grow more like ''Dan Zhang'', lifts going to be problem too.

this is a constant problem with Skate Canada that needs to be addressed
their crowds are disrespectful, that's why most see SC as the most Shady of all Grand Prix series

I'm Canadian and I think that we just like to «boos» because we love our canadian skater and wish them the best.
We don't «boos» necessary because we are not agree with the placement (sometimes yes) but in this situation, it's not about that we are not agree with the results, it simply because we are like : «What a shame, they could have do so much better and winning this event» so we are sorry for them and doing «booos»

They booed the results. How else is it suppose to look than showing judges your displeasure. B/H DESERVED this win, they got it fair and square, and if anything should have won by more. Its absolutely horrific for the Canadian crowd to take that from them.

Well that's a flimsy excuse. It shows poor national sportsmanship and maybe a touch of poor national self-esteem. D/R got beaten fair and square, and mainly because they did it to themselves.
