As V/T should have...
Shoulda woulda, coulda.
However you are wrong that S/K beat them twice.

Yes, you are right. They beat them ONCE.I stay corrected.
However still not a good sign and outlook to lose to basically a junior team in their first-second year.

Good point, but the sequence is FAR more difficult to execute -- I mean, it's two triples in a row with not many steps separating them. And of course, the unison and timing of a 3T in sequence, as in the jumps and the steps between them in series, also has to be there.

Although it is a silly concept, but technically isnt a WD mid event for anyone a last place finish? So if that is so S&S would have lost to everyone at Europeans, and thus lost to S&K twice. Although in a practical sense still silly, atleast V&T you can say they were 7 points back already when they WD.

(And thanks V/T for not showing up.They'd've won with a fall even most likely)
S&S have won many titles with a fall as well. It happens in figure skating when you have a good lead in the SP.
Don't eat your heart out.
S/H are losing major points because their SBS jumps are not secure. To be honest none of the Chinese pairs since Shen/Zhao have secure SBS. Y/J is showing the same problems in their SBS jumps with the Yu growing taller, they haven't been able to land their SBS jumps completely clean for most of this season.
The Chinese urgently needs to get their pair ladies into some kind of weight training jump program or something like that. It seems that after Shen/Zhao none of the ladies in Chinese pairs can get any lift in their single jumps.
This could be S/S's last world.
With P/T gone they're the last interesting veteran left. Hope they find some way to stay.
Funny, Michelle Kwan popped into my mind during this S/S discussion. Thanks for expressing it CSG:yes:
Exactly, the fans are so defensive by saying that somehow winning 10 worlds is better than winning olymic gold when they should be just celebrating without belittling others.

Hmmmm, eating my heart out sounds very untasty and unsanitary.
I was just stating that V/T could've had an easy 2nd worlds if they just showed up this year. This was easily their best chance at a definite WC regardless of how the rest of the competition did. The judges have them a full tier above everyone else so they could've messed up a bunch and probably still won.
Them not showing up meant that S/S could win so thanks V/T!

I thought Y/J were their best future hope. After the last 2 world juniors I am not as sure on them either.
But they also did not because maybe they were afraid they could lose. That's why my previous comment about the Olympic medalists who show up for Worlds needs some extra recognition. It's not easy, ask Stolbova.
Nobody is belittling others. People are saying that in spite of not having the OGM, they will still have a place and legacy in pairs skating.
Well, that's how I read it. Bye.
It would be great if you weren't being so condescending, thanks.
Sorry if you feel that way. Do not respond then.
I don't think you're really that sorry....
