At least we have a medal contender
Yes, I think V/M are great, and definite medal contenders.
ETA: Joannie is too good to remain in a funk. She will be ready for Vancouver. :yes:

The Olys are in CANADA- I need not say more.
Ahh yes this should be added to the list:
If a Canadian skater wins a medal it is ONLY because they are from Canada and the judges have all gotten together and decided that the Canadian skaters should win medals - solely based on their nationality. They never deserve their marks. ALL Canadian skaters are held up. Canada is BAD. It's all Canada's fault.
Anything else need to be added to that?? :disapp:

I refer you to my post above.
(Everyone stands to benefit from a little home advantage though. But unlike team sports, not everyone has the opportunity. )

The country where the competition is held plays a very important role in PCS of skaters.

The wuzrobbing abilities of the Russians are such that they win even if they didn't win? Have the results been changed retroactively? I'm impressed with the Power of Piseev.Many's the Russian dance couple that's been undeservedly held up at Olys or Worlds. ( sometimes over another Russian couple , depending on whose coach had more clout at the moment )...I thought last year's world's was pretty suspect . Another example among many that leaps to mind is Lobacheva & Averbukh's win at Vancouver World's. I managed to be there for that one, and it was blatant right from the CD's (slow, small patterns,sloppy, etc.) continuing through the OD and FD.
FWIW, I don't think DomShabs will be winning again.
buttercup..I stand corrected...pardon me ( tired and foggy)... At that competition I , wasn't impressed with some other scores either ( including F/M ), but L/A were an absolute standout for blatant propping up. It stands out in my mind as one of the worst things I've seen. In person,it was so obvious, I was shocked. I would have thought the judges would have had to be a bit more subtle about it. L/A certainly "won" a higher placement than they deserved and a number of teams suffered accordingly... ( but...my bad.)
