2017 Worlds Free Dance

And C/B may end up US team no 3, if H/D and Shibs skate clean.
 
Sorry, I was making the same dumb joke my grammar teacher used to.

In American standard English, only people are hanged :dbana: All other times you hung (an object / onto something)

It might be different outside the US. I just thought the mental image of ice dancers being hung by the judges was funny

Well, I'm not a native English speaker. ;) And thanks to you I realized my Mistake, I have problems with past tenses. :laugh:
 
I don't like this program because I just don't get it but they always bring the performance! I'm so excited to see what they come up with for next season.

Also, the twizzles :sad4:
 
Shibs should sent them a thank you basket. I couldn't even really tell what was going on with the twizzles, it was that bad.
 
Ouch lower than WeaPo. I so want WeaPo to slay next season.

Not the hugest Chock / Bates fan but feel bad for them about those twizzles.
 
I really should dig an Under Pressure routine from a top team more. Somehow it didn't work out.
 
They are, in terms of skating skills, skating better than ever. But they are languishing in the standings. And no, I don't put the blame on them now being Canada #2 behind Virtue/Moir. Look at the Americans...they are all duking it out virtually neck and neck.

Their material this year was unfortunately simply forgettable. What they need is new and innovative to get the judges' attention again, and they need it stat if they hope to be fighting for the podium at the Olympics next year. They have all the skill to do it, just not the vehicles.

FINALLY! A sensible analysis of the situation!

Forgettable programs this year - Just plain BAD programs last year.

They're very good skaters, but they need good programs. They haven't had a really good one since their Tango program.

They may be top tier skaters, but they've got middle-of-the-pack programs.

No one outside of the most loyal fans are going to rewatch their performances of the past two seasons.
 
Oh C/B, that mistake on the twizzles just cost you any chance at the bronze.

It's a shame that the judges never really warmed to this program. I'll miss seeing it.

It's a different world when Maddy is the more secure twizzler...
 
Judges have always taken skating fans for idiots when it comes to Bobrova & Soloviev's scores. I feel bad dumping on them since they seem like incredibly nice people, and they are a good dance team, just not as great as the judges mark them. Maybe they are more impressive when you see them live than on television, they are one of the few teams I have coincidentally never seen live at an event I attended in Canada or the U.S, I dont know.

I take comfort that despite a career of overscoring they will soon retire with a mere 1 bronze medal from worlds, and an Olympic Gold in the Team Event in Sochi (which Russia and thus they did fully deserve).

How they are ahead of C&L and W&P in the FD based entirely on superior PCS is ridiculous. Both those teams should be over them clearly in PCS. W&P are flat out way better skaters, and C&L have their best FD ever this year.

Zhulin? always said speed wins and B/S are fast. You can be a bit sloppier apparently if you are faster.
 
It's a shame, because they are such a good team with really great elements... maybe next year :confused2:
