Seeing them again after missing them at the GPF just confirmed that their presence elevates the competition :bow:. Their style and feel for the music connects so well and provides diversity for our eyes :love:. I'm thrilled that they make me forget about the tech box and allow me to just enjoy their programs. Crossing my fingers for the free :pray:

Beautiful job on the SP! Just watched their Sk Can FS again today. Hope they can perform as well as they did there. They are magical! They looked so happy, as did Zimmerman! :luv17:

Yay Vanessa and Morgan, and good luck in the free :cheers: Looks like not qualifying for the GPF didn't do anything to hinder their upwards momentum!

you know doris really love a skater when she posts their program right away :biggrin:

that was great from them apart from the tight throw, their int is as usual top notch, winning here would be quite the statement going into olympics :luv17:

I do love them! Back in the day, I liked their coach John Zimmerman, too!

Morgan certainly seemed to be off his game but they did ok despite everything. I know he and Vanessa will come back strong in Olympics. I worry about stamina given they must skate both short and long in the team events plus the two individual skates... four programs in a matter of days, but one off skate does not a season make. I fully expect them to bounce back. Good Luck!!

Ack, I feel like I jinxed them by putting them first in my predictions! I thought after the SP it might be possible, but unfortunately it was the Skating in Russia thing that did them in.

They deserved to be on the podium but I"m sure this will light a fire under them and they'll skate lights out at the OG!

I'm so disappointed with the results but I'm holding on to that 1st place they got in the SP and their PCS increases... I'm hoping that carries their momentum into the Olympics! They've been doing so well that a performance like this almost seems uncharacteristic, but I'm sure they'll refocus for the right time :)

Heartbroken for them. They deserved so much more.


Well in Korea they won't be hopefully giving GOAs and PCPs for skating while Russia and they can make it to the podium.

Oh no, I just caught up with the results - I'm so sad for them! They did seem to be having an off skate, but...not that off?

I just want to give them both all the hugs.

Interesting thing you are saying. Judging this logic can I assume that if the Championship was held in the USA (or France) then we could say the same thing in address of these countries? Or it's just one-sided opinion again?

I think there is always a home-field advantage. There are athletes who feel more stressed by performing in front of their home crowd, but in general the edge always goes to the hometown athlete. They know all the quirks of their home arena, having performed there before. And they know the crowd will support them, as well they should.
