Loads of mistakes by Tessa and Scott

Lovely return to comp from W/P. Poje steams up my laptop screen so much I can't possibly view it from a rational technical perspective

Heh heh. Know what you mean about Poje. Also agree that it's good see her back and healed. Final position whatever it may be, so far they've done good with their return to competition.

V/M were strong. Scott was so close to the wall at the end of the midline step that I think Oleg shouted "WALL" at him. Very curious how this scores.

Really???

Loads of mistakes by Tessa and Scott

 

[let`s talk]

Tessa is like in iron cast blades- no lightness and no fly. Crappy twizzles. Scott's attitude changed too- he is not inspiring, it's gone. Rather flat dance. D/W should be in the lead and not with a small gap. But we are in Canada.

Not that strong a performance. If this beats or is even that close to D&W then one has to wonder how much a factor home cooking plays in the scores.

I don't usually watch ice dance, but their twizzles looked a bit off.

PCS as well. The top score is 81 (41 TES, 40 PCS). So just over three points.

Good point. Well we shall see.

73.87

D/W just won gold.

 

[Kissx3]

They're well back. Virtually no chance of winning now.

I can't believe it... Is it really happening?

Accurate score. Definitely not their best skate or as strong as D&W. Good to see. I defended the scores of Chan, Osmond, and Duhamel & Radford on various forums and was dissed for being a biased Canadian, but had that performance beaten or even virtually tied D&W I would have had to pretty much drop the defense for the rest of the Worlds.

 

[Mrs. P]

So much for that whole Canadian conspiracy theory. That's a big gap.

Meryl's Canadian grandmother must've given D/W some fairy dust....seriously.....I can't believe there's a gap.

 

[gold12345]

There really had to be a big gap... Those twizzles were way off, unfortunately.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That twizzle really cost them.

 

[Ziggy]

So much for that whole Canadian conspiracy theory. That's a big gap.

Now hopefully all the crazy conspiracy theorists can shut up.

Virtue/Moir made mistakes, didn't skate as well as Davis/White and the scores reflected that.

 

[pangtongfan]

I predict Weaver & Poje to end up 6th in the SD, but I hope they end up 5th. If they are 5th they could skate in the final flight and still have an outside shot at the bronze. However I think the 2 Russians, French, and Italians all pass them. Gilles & Poirier will end up 15th, a bit better than I expected before Worlds, as I was expecting about 17th but not a huge difference.

So much for that whole Canadian conspiracy theory. That's a big gap.

Probably everyone finally got fed up with their attitude: the sweet-looking couple who constantly reveals their true colors.
