Ice Dancing - Free Dance (Mon. Feb 22 - 16:45)

For Tanith and Ben to go after that must be rough.

Holy crap, 110+! Wow!

Barring a superhuman effort with extreme extreme marks (AKA basically no chance at all), they've got the gold now. And Meryl and Charlie pretty much have the silver.

Here's hoping Tanith and Ben can pull into 3rd. And I hope if they don't, that at least it's due to fair scoring.

ARipp42014, your nickname for them should now be Belbin and Elvis. Just saying.

I guarantee you if Tessa and Scott win tonight they are retiring tonight!!!!

Never liked the Mahler program until now. Fits well in the Olympics. So did D&W TPOTO. Two amazing skates.

 

[UM84]

Unvofrtunately, I have to agree....this could have been Meryl and Charlie's had this been anywhere but Canada.

It's a joke,

 

[Sernando]

How old are V/M? wow, 110 points... they are good, but also b/c of home team/crowd advantage.

Really wish D/W had a better draw at least, they'd definitely have won gold had the Olympics not been held in Canada.

My gosh. I'm trembling.

Elegant, classy and beautiful.

I love Belbin and Agosto but this music is difficult to skate to.

 

[Face2Mac]

I guarantee you if Tessa and Scott win tonight they are retiring tonight!!!!

Why would they do that? They might skip worlds but they will be back.

 

[screech]

I think both teams should have been (and were scored) pretty equally on TES (.3 separating them). To me it was the emotional aspect and the lightness of their skating, and the believability of it - that is just something to me that no other team can match right now.

Tessa is 20, Scott is 22. And I'm not so sure it's a Canada thing - I really do think that V/M really were just that exquisite. And the draw isn't everything - look at Evan, look at S/Z and Plush in their SP.

Another breathtaking performance! Please, please, please sneak in for the bronze!

Loved Virtue/Moir. I really loved their last lift and new ending. Extraordinary.

Belbin and Agosto skated with abandon. Good for them. They should be proud of that for their last skate.

 

[LisaS]

I'm sorry, Meryl and Davis deserved the gold. 110 my a**, they got hometown cooking

Virtue and Moir beat Davis and White in the GPF in the free dance. They have also been getting higher scores all season with this free dance then Davis and White. Those competitions weren't in Canada. And don't forget, even if, and I am not saying it should be so, do you think Davis and White beat them in the Free Dance by enough to make up the difference they were behind after the OD? I don't think so.

 

[mishieru07]

Why would they do that? They might skip worlds but they will be back.

If I'm not wrong, Skate Canada made it coumpulsory for the Olympians to go to Worlds as well. So we'll see them at Worlds at least.

 

[BigJohn]

That was good, but 3 points better than D/W?

2 points if you leave out the deduction. Within the limit?

 

[UM84]

I guess alot of Belbin & Agostos missing points this competition want to Tessa and Scott. I'm sorry but Tessa and Scott were good, but not gold medal good.

 

[kyla2]

Well, Screech, you may not think it's a "Canada thing" but the Russians sure will.

 

[loop9497]

Glad Tanith and Ben skated well. I hope it's enough to get the bronze. I don't like their costumes, though.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

This it outrageous!
