I think exactly the same. This bronze medal will motivate them to work on their weaknesses. I was even a bit worried, they could have retired when they won the Olympics this time, because they would have won everything in just one year. But I`m happy that they got the bronze medal. After the TE they needed something to take home with them.

Apparently, M/G tried to convince her for weeks to change the FP, but wouldn´t change her mind. I think, considering that they didn´t like the FP, it is really impressive they got an Olympic medal out of it.

Agree about the music for R&R being dreadful. It’s what I like to call “Marcott-ing” the music. When either Bruno or Julie choose and/or choreograph an emo ballad. They deserve much better music than this!When it comes time to compile my list of Worst Music of the Season, this is definitely on it.
Along with Kaori’s I Am Woman or whatever that is. And Cpom’s travesty cover of Wicked Game, an absolutely awesome song
I’m so looking forward to watching this!
I’m so happy that S/H got gold and T\M made it to the podium this time. Those were heartbreaks last time even though I still liked the final results. Seems like it was incredibly close at the top yet again, like last Olympics.
Though I’m not sure any free skate will compete with the masterful performance that gave S/M gold last time. IIRC- they went from 4th to 1st. It was incredible.
On another note I actually re watched part of the short last night because I missed the context that G & G were mentioned when Terry Gannon was talking about M/G. Lol I figured this group might understand!

During the 6.0 system, the second mark in the FS was to break a tie for placement on an individual judge’s card (a skater with 5.8/5.9 would beat a skater with 5.9/5.8). Once all the 9 judges’ placements were done, a skater needed 5 “firsts” to win the segment. If no one got 5 (such as in the question about a 3-3-3 split) the “firsts” would be converted into “seconds” and all the “seconds” would be counted. If there again was a tie (for example, if two skaters got 3 firsts & 4 seconds), it would go down to converting thirds, etc. This is why, in old broadcasts, we often would hear that nothing was certain until all had skated. Because a stray first or second placement for a late-skating also-ran could jumble the placements for the top skaters.

That didn’t seem to matter to the judges.

I would not say Sui/Han have dominated since the last Olympics considering they have only won 1 World title since 2018, the same as Mishina/Galliamov. They also eeked out this Olympic victory; not exactly a sign of dominance.

Peng and Jin are light years better than Kneirim and Frazier; the Chinese definitely deserved to be ahead of the Americans and Chinese home ice had nothing to do with that outcome.

Dude??
The scoring is completely fair here. SH have more difficult contents in the free which gives them 2-3 points advantage in base value. TM were a bit shaky in 3 elements (sbs jump, a throw and a reverse lift) which cost them at least 2-3 GOE points. SH clearly deserve better PCS than TM hence if anything TM were overscored in PCS. Plus I find TM’s PCS in the short was overscored too. I don’t have problems with their SS and TR but their interpretation of the music should never be above 9 IMO. That affects PE too which I think is also overscored.

perhaps in 1994... that would be the last time i remember such a great event for pairs. Gordeeva Grinkov, Mishkuteniok Dimitriev, Brasseur Eisler.
Perhaps Vancouver 2010 but I do not remember entirely... About all 3 teams...
The 1994 comparison is a very good one. (In 2010 my faves won but that wasn't close to their best)

Moskvina congratulated everyone but Eteri at the medal ceremony.
That video just cut away... Moskvina actually hugged Eteri.

But they got their PB at the Europeans which is known for overscoring, especially for certain countries.

Does anyone know where I can watch NBC replay of the event? Any discipline.
ITA Sui and Han should have been ahead in pcs after watching the performance on the big screen. The only mistake was the sal for S/H. All their other landings was smooth. T/M although lovely their landings weren't smooth ( the first side by side jumps and both throw jumps. I'm glad T/M won silver because I like their packaging this season. I also thought if they land their elements then they should be the top Russian pair
