It would really help if you would bother to get your facts right.
V/M skated *before* P/C.
Absolutely not.

Perfectly said. Not only did the twizzles get postitive GOE with an obvious mistake even the layman can see they actually won the PCS with such a distracted, not engaged performace. Judges kept them close so they could win the FD and gold...so so obvious

Your previous post -- based on false information -- cast unwarranted aspersions on V/M.
Under the circumstances, my reply was quite restrained.
considering how the French were gifted, yes gifted with that ridiculous score for that hot mess of a program I have no issues with VM score, should be at least 3 pts higher
Actually, I read somewhere that in the Olympics you cannot have more than 2 people in the Kiss&Cry with you, and I think it might be the same with the Big competitions ? Because now that I think about it, I've never seen more than 2 people in the K&C. And Marie France is clever not to go with her #1 and #2

About P/C twizzles, their mistake put them closer together on the twizzles, and skating as close as possible is always seen as plus, so...
Regarding C/L, the first half of Life is Beautiful, the film, is an Italian romantic comedy.

I don't remember watching a hot mess of a program. Care to elaborate? How would you distribute the 5 pts difference?

You’re not familiar with B/K fans from the 90s/00s are you?

Oh. Like maybe a dancer would have her costume built with the equivalent of a nursing bra so that she could conveniently open it up if she messed up her twizzles, despite the fact that the competition was being broadcast worldwide and that she would likely receive rude comments on Twitter? Seriously?
Okay I'm with you on that. I feel like we watched 2 different things. 2-point difference considering skating quality is okay. But looking at things, apparently P/C stripped and danced riverdance off the beat of Shape of You. It was strong. A bit hesitant/tight in the end but still very strong especially skating wise.
Also, Canadians are supposed to be the nicest people on earth (and are, considering the ones I met) but when it comes to V/M, it's nuclear war.
I wish P/C were Canadians :dev2: (At least besides the fans, they'll get exposure).

I had to watch on my phone, so couldn’t join the forum until today. It was interesting short dance event... I tried to understand the scoring/judging better simultaneously as the dance goes on. My iPhone screen gets divided by score info below, so I didn’t catch the details of the dances. (I was busy and sleepy at the same time) so please mind my observation is superficial and not accurate.
1. Shibs were great, but their program does not give me anything new and fresh anymore. It has been staying there where it started in the beginning of the season.
2. Madison’s dress is nice and stylish to my eyes. She isn’t afraid of the color and pattern and I always find that her fashion sense is very out there and she knows what looks good on her. But their dance comes in second in my priority after figuring out her costume, while watching their dance.
3. Virtue and Moir’s Olympic anxiety, nerves were shown in the beginning but nicely transformed into excitement and sharp movements in their performance. I like the team who grasp the (seemingly) negative energy into a positive one.
I still like their Canadian National Sd the best, but this one is the close second. I like their dance every time I see. And this golden/black sheer leopard dress is the best rendition amongst her other dresses to this dance.
4. First of all, I didn’t notice her dress malfunction until the very end due to the small screen. But I could feel their nervous energy didn’t totally transform into the positive excitement in their dance partly due to the lose top. Gabi looked like a wooden stick sometimes compared to Tessa. I assumed she was nervous but now I feel that she had to tense her body to keep the top where it had to be. She and he did the best they could have done under the circumstances. I respect her for that. And when they went auto pilot- during the pattern dance, it was marvelous.
5. Maddie and Zack!! I like that Zack ditched the purple top! Decorative black V shirt looks good on him their dance builds so nicely and their projection is top with their Montreal team mates. I honestly like their dance the best at his point. They bring out their best performance every time I watch them.
6. Russians did get Lv 4s in real-time. I couldn’t believe because it only happened with V/M but I didn’t feel the same sharpness with this team. After they were finished, I saw the corrections made and the tech number dropped.
7. Italians were cute and sharp! Their bodies and limbs were where they should be, but compared to the top teams, the excitement or volume of dance (?) lacked.
+ I like how well fit Tiffany’s dress is. She has a terrific figure, compared to other female dancers having an athletic or boyish chest. And the dress (top part) is impeccably hugging her torso. I find her look charming!!
+ Sara from Spain is my everything! They skated to Santana. Her dress is something I wanted to wear. Her teaming up with Kiril is promising! I hope this team keeps developing. She is the starlet of the event,IMO!
+ after Tessa and Scott retire, can my dear WP move up to Montreal? They have to give at least one sepot to the Canadian!! Imagine what they can do to this talented but plain (at this moment) team?
+ I cracked to read the posts especially during the resurfacing+ Warm-up. I wasn’t the only one who had to binge watching the figure skating event! And one poster was defriebded (jk) for her missing bronze medal comment on VM. LOL.

Btw. am I the only who was quite distracted at times by over the top performing of Scott Moir? I know that you can sell and prove furthermore how secure you are so you can do it simultaneously doing difficult technique but for me it was quite jarring.
...
Spanish and my dear Poles had very satisfying skates btw.
Sara & Kirill really caught my attention and they were super solid.

Definitely not and sometimes I do wonder if it’s a tactic because he definitely is a stronger skater than Tessa
Seriously. You really think some people aren't competitive enough to do it? And you're presupposing the problem would be in the breast area — it needn't be, especially since we're talking about men, singles, pairs, and ladies disciplines. And if we took the original suggestion, skaters could stop immediately after the issue, thus there would be no danger of exposing oneself.
You seem to think it's ridiculous that a skater would ever decide a do-over was worth a costume issue. But I think it's highly likely if, say, a skater went out for the SP in ladies or mens and missed their combo — would they take a chance to wipe the slate clean and repeat? Hell yes.

Like 15 rotations EXTRA. They do 19, count em, NINETEEN rotations. Just cause they can.
And got a +2 from one of the judges.
The judging here is SO bad I'm not even sure I want to watch Worlds. I'm that disgusted.

I read somewhere that Jayne Torville also pointed this one out on BBC live broadcast.
Ah, but not Rosie MacLennan, Summer Games flag bearer who went on to repeat as Olympic champ in trampoline!

Maybe Voir should take up the trampoline post-skating retirement then.
