Oh, Mark? Mentioning the abundance of incredible ice dance teams and no mentioning of Davis/Smolkin? Ccccc...
Almost. They ALMOST deserve to be Davis/Smolkin rivals.not bad they deserve to be Davis/Smolkin rivals
you're right to correct me, what was i thinking? it will be hard but they're on the right path to be Davis/Smolkin rivalsAlmost. They ALMOST deserve to be Davis/Smolkin rivals.
I will join her!Yes! Yes! It’s Beatrice!
She looks like she’s crying. She will be so sad when Piper & Paul hang up their skates.
gosh... i missed all of it... can someone provide a summary.. i am done with work for now so i will be able to get back on the streaming.Mark's shade throwing at this event
I find it completely justified, but interesting to see a mistake on the twizzle from P/C is 3 points ahead of a clean outing from S/K in the FD. Looking back at thefixfarce from the latest Europeans (...), I certainly hope the judges will remember the quality difference at the Olympics, too.
I also appreciate that their programmmes are different each year and it’s not the same style every time. Their chemistry isWhat I've really come to appreciate about Stepanova/Bukin is that even though the technical part isn't a huge strength, they have interesting programs that don't remind me of other teams and really perform them with great chemistry.
Going by the marks so far I would agree, however you can’t really compare between competitions - the GOEs at NHK were very generous compared to this event. I still think G/P, C/B and H/D all have a good chance at the bronze.With these G/P scores, I think C/B have good chances for that Olympic bronze.
It’s not a gift. It’s a “tribute.” I didn’t hear anyone say you couldn’t offer a tribute!!Guys, flower crowns update - I was naughty, broke *no gifts* rule and managed to get Piper and Paul crowned!!!!!!

The Russians are good enough to win it by themselves just so you know. P/C are a stale and boring team. I'd pick any of their main rivals to win OGM than this stagnant and overrated pairing.I think this program is developing nicely, although it still doesn't scream OGM to me. Fortunately for them, none of the top teams have great material this season and their skating is so excellent they should absolutely win unless Russian politicking gets completely out of hand.
