You do realise P/C and V/M are virtually tied on PCS and had the same bsae value? The difference of 0.5 could have gone either way. Plus V/M pattern looked less sharp today and they got less GOE than the Shibs on that element.
Unlike last season when V/M had a big cushion over P/C regardless, this season the scores are much more closer and can go either way. A lost level, a less sharp movement, a slight misstep and the order will change.
But I know, it is so much fun to go with the conspiracy theories that evil Europe sold its old soul to the devil for the gold medal in ice dance.[/QUOTE
Every and each commenter, expert, journalist, fan here and there, keeps repeating that judges have clearly shown their preference for P/C in light of the Olympics. So perhaps you’re the only one who believes the order is not already set.
By the way I don’t think in terms of “Europe”, but in terms of a group of countries doing this or that, yes.
Too funny. Which "experts" and "commentators"? And judges' preference for P/C can be explained by many factors, like the actual skating maybe?
I wonder what would you say if V/M scores higher in the FD.
