They got the exact same levels for the waltz?
Oh whoops. It was the NtMiSt that had different levels. Level 3 for M/C and Level 4 for the Parsons. Which is a 1.5 point difference.

I agree with TMC!When people write stuff like this I wish they would point out exactly where they believe the "overscoring" occurred. It would make me take their complaints much more seriously.
Don't know if Rachel grew but she's definitely taller than the 5'3" listed in her bio. Lorraine is listed as almost 5'7" and is only an inch or two taller than Rachel. Both WISA teams are actually quite close in height but they manage it really well. So thrilled that the Parsons are leading! Hope they can skate their FD to it's full potential, it's a great program and I was sad after what happened at JGPF.
Thrilled too, but part of this comment bugs me a bit. Rachel stopped growing some time ago, and there is a full 4-inch difference between Michael and Rachel, the same height difference of many other top-level ice dance teams. Michael does skate very low in his knees -- a good thing I think -- and I guess that can make him look shorter. But their height is just fine, and I would even say just about perfect, as it give them a really great line on the ice. So let's talk about how they skate, yes??? I have the same issue with people who get too caught up in girls' weight. Just watch all these top-level teams battle it out and enjoy the show. Height is not an issue to me. This is not pairs.
Wow does anyone know what P/P and M/C's intentions are after this season? If both teams go senior next year US Ice Dancing is going to get very crowded and the fans are going to reap the rewards in a big way.
You most likely mean Ksenia Rumiantseva, the older one. She hugged Alla right after she came off the ice, though, even if she did not talk to her. None of them talked much, really.Who is the scary-looking witch who coaches Loboda/Drozd? After falling in the step sequence, Alla looked scared to come off the ice and face the coach, who spoke to Pavel, but not to Alla. She ignored Alla except to give her dirty looks. I can just imagine the tongue-lashing Alla got after leaving the KnC.
You stumbled on our secret, US teams have no talent and can only score well by judges and technical controllers cooking the scores..NOT! I am so sick of people throwing shade like this. If you really feel the sport is so crooked quit watching.
I hope so too. They really have some bad luck. Last season when they seemed like a stable Russian top 3, more like number 2 than 3, they did not even get to go to Worlds in the end. This season when they looked like a stable World top 3, this happens.
I hope they move up...

Both teams need to go Senior next season. M/C have been Juniors at Nationals for what seems like almost a decade and the Parsons are ready to go to next level too. There is no reason for either team to stick around foir yet another season as juniors. There is nothing to gain at this point.

Who is the scary-looking witch who coaches Loboda/Drozd? After falling in the step sequence, Alla looked scared to come off the ice and face the coach, who spoke to Pavel, but not to Alla. She ignored Alla except to give her dirty looks. I can just imagine the tongue-lashing Alla got after leaving the KnC.

I just calculated that L/D probably lost around 6.5 points with that fall, assuming that their step sequence would have been level 3 and with high GOE - probably around 2 points or close to that. Perhaps they lost even 7 points, considering the very possible loss on PCS. So their score would have been around 65.5 to 66 points - actually very close to Mcnamara/Carpenter.
The problem with these two is that Drodz is not skating with his partner. She is almost struggling to keep up with him, so to they always look ragged. IMHO, the issue is primarily with their coaching.
I did not mean to say that they would have a chance for silver if not for that fall. I meant to say just what I said - that they would have been close in the SD. And perhaps that the third place would have been theirs without a doubt.They actually lost 5.54 points compared to their best result (the JGPF). Adding back in the 1.00 for the fall, that would have given them 65.47---close, but still behind. L/D would have had to play catch up in the FD anyway, and the best they've done there was 91.91 in an early JGP, below all the FDs McN/C have scored.
As for the PCS, c'mon. Three judges gave them mostly 8s! They are in 6th place and their PCS was only .5 less than the #1 Parsons.
