2015 Worlds Free Dance March 27

[WeakAnkles]

Can we just go back to ordinals with no anonymity?

Not with Dance please. You think the scoring is bad now? It was a freaking travesty under 6.0. Under 6.0 P/C would probably be about 10th this year, still in the "paying their dues" stage.

Shaking and crying right now. Best winners since I don't know how long. I had goosebumps through that whole performance. VIVE LA FRANCE!

A way to get out of any interview, "I just have no words...."

 

[bartlebooth]

W/P got screwed, no doubt. But after that happened I was relieved to have P/C put over C/B.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[ArcticMonkeys]

I agree with the placements! Super happy for Chock and Bates

 

[TontoK]

OMG. Russia goes to next year's WC with only 2 spots in Ice Dance.

I cannot imagine the smoky-back-room maneuvering that will be going on.

I'm OK with the podium. I would have been OK with it any way it came out.

Feel badly for Kaitlyn and Andrew. It's hard to be the favorite and slip to third. It wasn't a bad performance but not their best. Madison and Evan seem to be taken the second place with grace. I hope we don't see any pouting on the podium.

I wasn't a fan of the four seasons. I hope next year they get a better free dance.

Some of these scores...the judges are off in their own world tonight it seems. Really conservative at times, then overly generous at other times.

I mean I'm just glad that C/B aren't going to be WC. I feel like that makes me an awful person, that I'm more excited about them not winning than the general overall results, but it's true. So happy for P/C! Now hoping to see them continue to progress in their skating development, because they still have plenty of room to improve.


I miss D/W and P/B and V/M.

It would have been strange if P/B were here.. wonder if P/C still would have won.. my guess is no, they wouldn't have been able to have such a meteoric rise this season if they were France #2.

 

[Sandpiper]

Blah. I thought Skate Canada was better at politicking than this. I guess they used it all on D/R.

Mind you, W/P didn't have their best skate... but if P/C and C/B can get personal bests with visible twizzle errors...

 

[gravy]

It's like what someone who was interviewed in a documentary I once watched: the judges had to vastly overscore P&C to makeup for the previous overscoring.

Kind of like Comaneci in gymnastics and her perfect 10. Her routine wasn't perfect but it was miles above the person who scored 9.95 so they had to give her that perfect score.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

I don't understand ice dancing technique too well, but judging just by my feelings I would put C/L to bronze, and W/P with P/C for gold and silver (no matter who will be first and who second).

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Well, that was lovely but I'm going to go watch Scheherazade and Mahler now

Canada didn't really need to politick for D/R.

Yeah I'm a bit confused but I'm just glad C/B aren't the world champions, as horrible as that sounds, I just find them a snoozefest

 

[GF2445]

The result makes me wonder whats going to happen next season?
P/C were deserving to win, but their scores should not be in virtue/moir, davis/white territory yet.

Nonetheless congratulations

Sad for the Canadians- the judges served notice that they lost their chance last year.

 

[Becki]

Was that really a 112 program though???!?! That's the same score as Marlie 2012.... with hunchback of notre dame....

I didn't watch their performance, but were they actually "112" pts good? Tessa and Scott's PB is 114 at the Sochi Olympics...

I feel like this young team has a lot of potential, but they are ascending to the top way too quickly..

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I think C/B will be happy with Silver and to have beaten W/P. Obviously, disappointment in not getting 1st, but P/C winning was not a shock. W/P almost missing the podium was!

W/P did not have their best skate in the SD, but they were sublime today.
