Great, they were 2nd after rhythm dance. I am so happy for their win! They are my favorite US ice dance team. So glad someone (judges) FINALLY realize how awesome they are. Their FD was close to flawless and so FAST!

THRILLED for them! Definitely the highlight of US Ice Dance for me!
I have been in love with these two since their first year as seniors and their Romeo and Juliet program.:luv17: I never go back and watch programs from juniors but for them I did. Their Amelie program was top notch. 
I look back at myself then and I laugh! I thought they were going to move pass Maddie and Zach and make a rapid rise up the ranks. I watched them on TSL and said to myself, it's gonna happen soon for this team. 
Instead Kaitlin and Jean Luc got their Theory of Everything Program (what was Pasquale thinking?) while Maddie and Zach moved to Montreal, cementing Kaitlin and Jean Luc into 4th place purgatory. :sad4:
I then remember being devastated through their mistakes and fluke falls. :hpull:
I was so happy when they brought back Liebestraum for the second year and go their redemption at Nationals.
Then I heard about the move to Montreal and I got really hopeful (but cautiously so) :think:
Four years later, and all of that to say that their win at NHK is so SATISFYING! I'm over the moon for them. :hap57::hap93:
The programs still need mileage but if they build momentum this is definitely their chance to move up.

I'm thrilled for Kaitlin and Jean-Luc. They've had a difficult path these last few years, just being a step behind the top three at US nationals. Now they took advantage of their unexpected opportunity and won a grand prix. :hap57: Nationals will be even more exciting now.

Happy to see them win a gold here!! I was really fortunate to have met them a few seasons back and even got the chance to share a cup of coffee with them. These two are very awesome and I just couldn’t be any happier knowing that they won! Let’s hope for more success!!
I still cannot see a thing. But more importantly do they have another GP?
