I’m glad I just watch for entertainment. Which was gorgeous!
How were they off? I think both skated well and are pretty close to their personal best, no?
If Katsalapov and Ilinykh had continued to skate together they would have had a big chance to win an olympic medal. Now none of them will (except for a team medal?).
People were saying talented junior teams would replace bobrova and soloviev- now most of them no longer exist!
Now I'm again nostalgic about I/K ... they were brilliant together, special... why did they have to split??!!
Because they were volatile. Two very strong personalities, plus their personal drama... when they were on, they were excellent, but they would have been even more unreliable than their current partnerships, IMO

Costume failure deduction for I/Z.
Well, let's hope history won't be repeated.
Don't get me wrong, Bukins really have good programs this year, and he has charisma, but her skating skills won't bring them to the top of the standings .
Don't worry By the time B/S retire, judges will be dropped them long ago. We see enough times with Belbin/Agosto, Chock/Bates, Shibs and countless other couples. Every other dance champions have soft knees, good acceleration and speed over the ice.Not everyone has good lines, beauty, charisma. But everyone have strong skating skills. Stepanova doesn't have any of that. Thankfully world of ice dance is not that desperate. If they are I can begin skating, Spepanova's level not far away from me.
