I'd say that's subjective. I prefer W/P programs over I/K and C/L.

subjective because you dont know who is better right ?

I can argue all day I/K and C/L have better program especially with I/K Swan Lake FD

I find the Swan Lake program endlessly repetitive. She takes his hand and he turns. He takes her hand and she turns. Etc, etc, etc. Then at the end of the program she cries. Predictable.

That's funny. Marxism was Western import, communism is Russian invention.
As for Russian not caring about Ice Dancing medal you should read Russan forums and their comments. They do care, some of them still have a kind of "cold war" complex and some of them think that there were a lot of "mooshrooms" (manipulation of results) during judging in the ice dancing.

@ilmiom
"level of hate on all things Russian makes me sick"
If you think there is great hate for all things Russian you should read some Russian ice dancing (and not only ice dancing) forums. Then you would see a real hate.................for all things US/West.

That was truly one of the most disgraceful and disgusting judging displays ever. I defended B/S earlier this season but that is the last time ever I will defend them or the judging in events they are in. Every bit of their success is due to their Russian passport just as others have indicated.

Well I call this @ TEB when I/k beat P/B with that horrendous Swam lake mess. :disapp:

I think the most exciting race at the Olympics is which of B/S and I/K gets to snatch the silver medal over V/M.

I/K dance holds have always been their weakness aside from that good flow, nice skating, nice lifts and presentation whats there not to like ???
W/P are predictable, you honestly expected they would score above 71+ here ? their SC was also inflated

a good performance by I/K in Olympics will beat W/P easily

Ice dancers whose biggest weakness is -- wait for it -- dance holds. And you don't see what the problem is here?

Look if this were 1997...when ice dancing was really Ingmar Bergman! On Ice! With sequins!!!!!!!!!!

Oh but wait, it isn't.

LOL so true. Although the way Chan is skating now I am confident he will spare us the Russian mens gold (which will make the only time ever I will be thankful for chan). Although who knows, had Chan skated here, his marks might have dropped by 6 or 7 points even for another clean skate, just like they have for every other top non russian here.

D&W better not slip up or they might well find a way to give Lurch and partner the gold. They are already targetting how to corrupt the silver over V&M surely.
