I just love the Addams family program!
I wished I liked the program more. I have the same problem with D/R's Alice in Wonderland program--the choreography is pedestrian at best. Maybe next year I'll like them more with a different program.
Two programs with much better Addams Family choreography:
Testa and Csolley's Long Dance from this year

and especially Krisztina Czakó's Long Program

YMMV of course.

Harking back a page or two -- I thought surely the comments about Artur D had to be exaggerated. They weren't. Good heavens what a physical decline. He looks much older than his age -- which is especially telling because sometimes some weight can make a lot of people look a little younger (my fat fills out my wrinkles, for example!). But he looks haggard as well as out of shape. Really stunning dissonance because I still picture him c. 1994 or even c.98 with Oksana.
Now, back to our final couple.
Glad for S/S's performance.

Can't help but feel sorry for MT/M, just missing the medals again.

Very happy S/S get to retire on a good performance and a win. Way to go on the 5th World Championship!
(And thanks V/T for not showing up.
They'd've won with a fall even most likely)

Yes, Rallycairn, I wasn't exaggerating! I hesitate to comment on people's looks generally, but this was so dramatic and shocking I had to. I wondered if he was on medication- steroids or antipsychotics- he has an entirely new body. and you're right that the oddest aspect of his decline is the combination of a heavy body and a haggard, lined, weathered face. Mid-life weight gain often helps people look younger by keeping fullness in the face and lessening the impact of wrinkles. But he is both obese and gaunt. Very strange, and sad. He was so dashing.

I'm SO SO happy for S/S, their FS was just 
even with the mistake!! Goodbye, and thank you for all!
S/K were MACHINES, it actually looked like they couldn't make mistakes
Sad for S/H, really liked them yesterday, but, again, this FS sometimes doesn't work at all

The good news is that they did enough to earn the third spot back! They will need that third spot -- there are a lot of promising young Chinese pairs.

I'm so glad for S&S. Although I don't think another World Title is going to compensate the 2 Olympic miss, but still excellent job.
Very happy for S&K. I can't wait to see them with the new program next year. Hope it will be as good as this one. :yay:
Finally, I'm very happy about MT\M too. They're so nice and fun to watch. :yay:

Aliona & Robin were amazing.I loved their skate. They had me in tears. They've done so much for pairs skating; really changed the sport. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they choose to do next. So happy they have a 5th world title.
Ksenia & Fedor are the real deal. Backed up their Olympic medal with another silver here. They looked tired here, and it didn't have the same spark as it did in Sochi, but it was still a very good skate. Their side by side jumps are really the best in the biz.
Honorable mention to Moore-Towers/Moskovitch who were really great today.

I think there are more pairs Olympic champions that 5 times world champions

Yes, keep telling yourself that.
