Well I'm not holding my breath waiting for Dubreuil & Lauzon to choreograph a FD that ISN'T cotton candy romance. That shade of blue is so not my color...

I couldn't watch the whole competition live. I just watched a couple videos....
When I saw W&P's scores, I knew they weren't going to win.
W&P getting a -1 deduction was for what? W&P not winning gold is upsetting enough but I definitely wasn't ready to see the final results.
P&C World Champions already????? Really???? I'm in shock. I think most people thought they were locked for bronze. I can't even talk about the judging because last year's judging and results at least made sense and could be explained rationally, but this year is totally out of whack.
While P&C's FD has been one of my favorites in recent memory, I definitely wasn't ready to see this.... is it almost as good as Mahler's? I think so. Almost.

I don't get a bunch of the judging tonight. That includes the score for P/C. But I'm not an ice dance expert.
And I think you can like whatever you want to like. My favourite free dance tonight was in the 3rd flight.
I think they are setting C/B to win in boston next year. Hopefully they will have great programs and skate well and earn it.
I think that's what we all want, right? For the winner to win it not be given it?

Agreed! I normally root for Canada as one of my favorites, but the bad attitudes regarding W/P left a bad taste in my mouth. Poor sportsmanship is not just for athletes, but fans as well. I thought the Americans should have won overall. But I'm not dissing P/C.
As it should be. Technically, the Shibs killed it. My kingdom for a decent choreographer...

Schadenfreude
Insanity. C/L's twizzles weren't as good as the Shibs, and P/C's with a mistake was only 0.26 below W/P?

Deduction was for an extended lift, per protocols.

We are just conflicted because their victory was both a well deserved vicotry and politically influenced (we saw the Canadians were going to be dumped for P/C and it happened) at the same time.
Also, the scores were way too high too soon. 110+ is virtue/moir and davis/white quality which none of the teams are there yet.

I don't think they'll retire. I mean, they've still podiumed the last two years. They might as well have a run at the 2018 Olympics (and a world gold, too... next year could be the year if they have great material).

Russia will have a little rebuilding to do in Ice Dance, but they are building an empire in ladies right now which has been desolate until the last year or so. Russia should dominate ladies for many years to come and will probably receive the majority of the focus for a long time.
Kaitlyn and andrew seem to be accepting defeat as best as they could. They lost their chance at world champion status and they are heartbroken- they have a right to feel that way.

Yeah, their ladies are practically out of this world! I still think they're doing decent in dance, since all three teams were in the top 10 and maybe I/Z can move up a few places with experience.

I know. What a strange turn of events, to see Russia dominating in singles and struggling in Pairs and Dance. Crazy times.

If I were W&P, I would be so frustrated I'd quit. They were fourth so many years and should have won bronze when P&B did at least on one occasion.
I wouldn't say they are dominating men's.... aren't V/T coming back though?
