only thing ugly and embarrassing is your post
They don't train good and focus on other stuff. They lost their spark
How do you know they don't train well? Did you hear anything? I thought it seemed like they were working very hard.
It wasn't a melt down. Not a "mistake" they had a melt down in 2012. Today was bad skating in general with no form of champions. They clearly cannot remain on top. Impossible.
I am telling this because I am their fan
People don't believe it when they pass their peak. They delude themselves they can still be the same.
I don't want them to embarrass themselves any more.

you mean embarrassing for you
I'm so sorry for today guys. i love Tati and Max and no matter what they're still champions. It was not their day whatsoever, but we all know what they're capable of and they deserve RESPECT! they have given us countless hours of joy and pride, one bad skate and competition should not erase that.... Hugs to all.
They have given us countless hours of joy that's for sure I am sad they can't do it anymore but this is life. They need to think about future of their family. Skating is a chapter of their lives.
Dude seriously so many of us are really broken hearted rn the last thing we need is someone saying they were ugly and embarassing. I am PROUD to be a fan of theirs regardless of what happened tonight. There were mistakes, and it may be a huge setback, yes, but remember they were wonderous at the Europeans and these things can happen. They have had an absolutely incredible record (and have skated worse in previous contests before? See: 2012 GPF where they had to stop mid combination spin) too remember.
They're still our Tatiana and Maxim, and no result can take that away. No mistakes can take that away. If you start giving up on them just like that then I don't really know what to say to you.
They have given us beautiful programs this season, and I am so thankful for that. Now I am just waiting on their comments and what they want to do next, and I will support them on whatever course of action they choose to take. I still can't help but feel upset currently, but I wont count them completely 100% out. One bad contest doesn't decide their current condition considering how good they were at a contest a couple of months ago. We're all in shock rn, but i'd have a sleep on it before you start saying such things.

If this was 2012 wouldn't be important. Stolbova and Klimov Sui and Han did mistakes but they still have time and stamina to improve.
What Tatiana and Maxim did were not mistakes it is an indication that their level has dropped because they cannot physically or mentally compete at this high level of competition as before. This is life no one remains on top in any sport forever!

maybe you should start be a fan of other pair; you are bothering the real tat and max fans; we understand your opinion you don't have to write it hundred times.
I think they are still able to compete at a high level. Just look at how beautiful they skated at Europeans. It would be a great loss if they retired now because their skating and their programmes are wonderful and so artistic...that doesn't change because of one bad day. Maybe they were thrown off because of the scoring in the SP and they let this get to them.

I kind of get your point, and of course no one is able to be on top forever. I just don't get how or why you read so much, for example them never being able to compete on top ever again, into this one failed performance. All we do here is basically speculate an no one really knows what was going on inside of them just before and during the skate, and what really caused their lack of energy today. And I strongly doubt you saying that it was embarassing, ugly and basically sh*t shows you're a good fan, even if you mean no harm it's just wrong. Then one should better say nothing at all...

I think everybody needs to calm down. Look at how they competed at Euros? It was pretty good.
They could be tired, maybe trained too much and were not ready for it, after all they had a year off, injuries. And it's not like they have something to prove. If anything, they could come back stronger next year, or maybe stop skating altogether. They came back because they want to skate, and we have to treasure that. There's nothing else we can do from here.
I just want to add that even skating clean I could see a chance of them not even making to the podium. There's nothing for them to do now other than go home, relax and train for the next season.

It's understandable that everyone is feeling upset right now, and that leads everyone to say things out of emotion. Realistically, one bad skate doesn't mean a career is over, far from it. D/R had a bad skate at the Olympics and it fired them up. Pang/Tong hung on and they weren't really competitive at the end of their career (though didn't they come 4th at the Olympics?), but they kept going because they wanted to. V/T are in a slightly different position because they've won everything, but that doesn't mean they can't find the motivation to continue if they really want it. If they don't, that's heir decision too. It would be disappointing for me as a fan if they did retire now because I wouldn't want that to be their last skate, but c'est la vie. If they continue, great. Either way I'll respect their decision.
On a personal note, as disappointed as I am, I'm surprised by how calmly I'm responding to this. I'm dealing with disappointment in my personal life at the moment (disheartening job search), and I think I'd subconsciously pinned my hopes on V/T, like "if they can do it, maybe I can." Now it's like "if they can fail and deal with the disappointment, so can I." So thanks, V/T.
