Not if you as the Eurosport guys According to them, it’s still between Japan and the US for silver and it’s down to Karen Chen.So we officially have our undisputed Team podium

If S/K somehow do end up with a medal they still will call it a fix.That awkward moment on Twitter where everyone claims the fix was in and the fix was, in fact, not in.
Those people should feel pretty dumb right now and also apologise for casting aspersions but they never will.
We already had a nice showdown in ice dance that went in U.S. team's favor. Don't get greedy for huge drama, especially when I don't think Karen has what it takes to deliver nail-biting, edge of seat, challenging performance against Japan.C/B's FD ist still a bit weird but very convincingly performed.
Ok, they got first. Well deserved, but this means we won't get a showdown in ladies for silver.
I an not commenting on today, but in general, when the fix WAS in and judges were suspended, the skaters still have to do their part or no amount of fixing will help. Just sayin'That awkward moment on Twitter where everyone claims the fix was in and the fix was, in fact, not in.

I'll totally eat my words. This worked out perfectly for the US and turned a bronze to silver.When the assignment came out, all of us were saying Chock/Bates should have done the RD and Hubbell/Donohue the FD. Maybe Marie-France knows what she's doing after all.
I wouldn't be so sure. I personally think H/D deserve the silver if they are clean on the basis of their amazing SS. However,momentum matters in ice dance and both American teams have that...we will see what happens.I would prefer Chock/Bates to get a medal because i preffer their programme the most. But i know SinKats and MaddyZach will win the individual medal, so it is what it is...
Why are you so obsessed with what the citizens of Twitter say?That awkward moment on Twitter where everyone claims the fix was in and the fix was, in fact, not in.

I'm just annoyed that there's a claim out there that S/K can't skate their way out if a paper bag and should be last all the time because they're SOOOO overscored.I’m not making any claims about “fixes” but S/K lost because of a deduction which I assume was time related. So just saying, judges did want to give it to them today.
Not all of us. I felt the split decision was fair, and I was never worried about H/D going in the RD. I really believe it was H/D's choice, and C/B agreed to do the F/D, giving themselves a chance to debut their choreo additions. The strategy worked beautifully.When the assignment came out, all of us were saying Chock/Bates should have done the RD and Hubbell/Donohue the FD. Maybe Marie-France knows what she's doing after all.
I believe the US has locked silver even if Karen is 5th and Japan wins ladies it would be a tie but US has two 10s Japan only one is this correct??But, they skated both programs so that Russia could get the team gold. So, that was obviously their primary goal. I honestly think the judges just got sick of their mistakes and decided to score them the way they should have been scored all year.
I agree with you that skaters need to skate their part, and that's why they train countless hours to get to the top... and then, sometimes, it's out of their hands because it's just out of their hands??? It makes it worse... all these athletes deserve a fair chance to win exactly because they all invest so much of themselves into the sport. (and I am not especially commenting on today's USA vs ROC)I an not commenting on today, but in general, when the fix WAS in and judges were suspended, the skaters still have to do their part or no amount of fixing will help. Just sayin'
Because it's where so many people get their info as casual fans so that when they show up on this board they make sweeping statements that are often exaggerated if not fully untrue, but it's cemented in their minds and you'll never everWhy are you so obsessed with what the citizens of Twitter say?
I don't know who said this but most of us were super annoyed when we thought they might split women rather than dance. The US ice dancers are all amazing.When the assignment came out, all of us were saying Chock/Bates should have done the RD and Hubbell/Donohue the FD. Maybe Marie-France knows what she's doing after all.
That would be my ice dance dream come true.So what are the chances of a France-USA-USA ice dance podium?!?!?
