I can only imagine how disappointed Weaver and Poje are. Hope they take this as motivation for the GPF
Ice Dance SD - 2013 Rostelecom Cup

Here's how the so-called "TECH" team doled out the levels.
There was no such thing as 'benefit of the doubt' nor did the
tech scores have much to do with how the teams performed.
B/S FINNSTEP 3,3 TWIZZLES 4 STEPS 3 LIFT 4
W/P FINNSTEP 2,1 TWIZZLES 4 STEPS 3 LIFT 2
R/T FINNSTEP 2,2 TWIZZLES 4 STEPS 2 LIFT 4
C/B FINNSTEP 3,1 TWIZZLES 3 STEPS 2 LIFT 1
M/K FINNSTEP 3,2 TWIZZLES 4 STEPS 2 LIFT 4
G/P FINNSTEP 2,1 TWIZZLES 3 STEPS 2 LIFT 4
H/D FINNSTEP 2,1 TWIZZLES 2 STEPS 1 LIFT 4
G/C FINNSTEP 2,1 TWIZZLES 2 STEPS 1 LIFT 2

Isn't there a minimum technical score that Chock and Bates have to meet to even go to the Olympics?

Can't the teams protest? I mean they have to.. It's just too blatant and obvious. That tech caller needs to be FIRED ASAP!!!

In all honesty Russia is the only country that really deserves a Team Gold.
USA does not have a worthy Pair team.
Canada and France do not have a worthy Lady.
Italy does not have a worthy Man.
All other countries are lacking in multiple disciplines.

You know, I wouldn't put it beyond them. It is Russia, after all.
but luckily they dont inflate skaters into 1st place with 2 falls like Canada :yes:

Doesn't matter. When Chan goes onto the ice with food poisoning and falls, the judges will give him straight 10's in PCS and keep him up there

And that's great Blades, but instead of actually letting their skaters WIN it, they're gonna politik and cheat to get get it, because they're scared, as they should be, that their Russian ladies will crumble as they have the past couple of years, that their hopes in the Mens field rests on either the talented, untested Kotvun or the Bionic man (Plushenko), and that their Dance teams can't beat ANY of the top NA teams without some seriously tasty home-cooking (as we see here).
Russia's team is just as easy to pick apart as everyone else's team.
At least last week's tech specialist was shrewd enough to be not so blatantly obvious, but with so many top Ice Dance teams of the world all getting Lv 1 for Finnstep you can't help but
Good thing there is a review process for the Technical Panel as well and the good news is better this happens here than Sochi.
I can already foresee a big reversal in the FD where Levels will be handed out like candies to save somebody's own bacon...let's see if this turns out to be the case.
They're well above that TES already, no problem.
18 for SD, 28 for FD. They are above in both.

Wow, still going on about that eh.
I'm not quite sure which skater you're referring to, as I probably missed it the other 1000 times you parroted it. :sarcasm:B/S were sloppy as hell and were clearly inflated into 1st while W/P and C/B were held back by the tech spec and judges.

I'm Russian, I'm speechless. MK - getting worse and worse, RT - good, BS - so much worse than last year, WP - they've improved so much, deserve over 70s. Judging is insane. If it's all about boosting a Russian tean to a bronze medal, hopefully, IK will win the Nats and go to OG as №1. The battle for silver and bronze should be among VM (they are no way better than other top teams these past two years), WP, CL and IK.
Wally, you are right to some extend ,but there are some people who will be aligned with Russians and don't forget that some Poles who were in the party during Soviet era are now in high positions in Poland. It is not as clear cut as might seem from abroad.That's my point exactly.
