What's with the rude reporters at the post-skate press conferences?
For example, at today's post-pairs:
Reporter (to James / Cipres, 5th at OLY and 3rd at WC): "Between the Olympics and now, were you counting the teams ahead of you that dropped out of Worlds to see if you would get on the podium?"
Vanessa: ::death glare:: "No"
Plus you can always count on questions that are basically "How does it feel to screw up so badly at such an important event?"
For a while I've wondered why the skaters seem so disengaged and even hostile at their post-skate press conferences. Now I'm getting a better idea!
Edit: it was actually the SP press conference from yesterday: https://youtu.be/xgW5h5BPA8M?t=30m20s
