How about Bryce Davison? His partnership with Jessica Dube has been a bust since they split as a couple.
so I'm watching with my best friend who knows zilch about the sport, and she just asked if the move E/L were doing was "that ice spin of death thing" *facepalm*
yes, Erin, that's a death spiral...
I have to say that having watched figure skating for SO many years, I never thought I'd see the day when a Russian pairs team was not on the Olympics podium.
I think that sums up the night perfectly for both US teams. They were fantastic!I am officially an Olympian for the rest of my life!!

Shen and Zhao have been crowned king and queen of the universe, Pang & Tong had a dream skate, and Yao Bin has received his just rewards while he is still on this earth. I am full of joy.
It was a great night, full of drama if not perfect skating except P & T where I never thought to look for it. K & S -- how painful. I don't like to think of how Mama Moskvina will treat them now.
To me, all season S & Z were handicapped by inferior programs and music choices. They didn't have a "Dream the Impossible Dream" to get the crowd on their feet. Their programs weren't perfectly built and romantic the way their "Meditation" of 2007 was (one of my all time favorites -- now disappeared from Youtube btw). Yet they triumphed from end to end of the season with the quality of their skating. Uncle Dick thinks their mistakes in the FS tonight will rankle all their lives. I think that in light of their decades of work, pain, and richly earned victories, tonight's bobbles will fade away next to the joy of achieving their goal, like the pain of childbirth next to the amazing new life that's been brought into the world.
We can hope that, all pressure gone, Xue and Hongbo will celebrate their OGM by performing their free skate at Worlds the way they meant to do it at the Olympics. But for now, celebrations, congratulations, and thanks to this wonderful pair and to all who helped them achieve their dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And BRAVO to all the medalists!
So M/T skated to Love Story for Jamie and David???? Canucks - what did S/P have to say about the program?
