I've been trying to watch more Pairs and Ice Dance and, although I don't think my area of expertise allows me to be quite as confident in my opinion in these disciplines as singles, I feel like these Olympics had some pretty bad judging. I'd like to hear other opinions about who should have placed where.
1994 - Were Torvill & Dean robbed? I feel like they were superior to the Russians.
1998 - I feel like Krylova/Ovsyannikov was overrated here. Their Free Dance was not much more than a bunch of (often silly looking) posing. I would have placed them 4th in that segment and bumped Anissina/Peizerat up to Silver overall.
I don't think Krylova/Ovsyannikov should have beat Anissina/Peizerat at 1998 or 1999 Worlds either. In fact, I really think Anissina/Peizerat should have won every single World Championship from 1998 to 2001. I find them to be one of the greatest teams ever.
