It's just that I love this FD, it's really original, I adore Jean-Luc's skating expecially, and I felt they were low balled compared to the Italians - whom I would definitely have in front of them because Charlene and Marco were really good. But 14 points difference? That seemed a bit too much for me, whether you think they're place holders for the up and coming or not. And I've seen this happen before in other competitions. No problem with the placement.Im really curious about this comment. can you cite an example where or how they are low balled scores wise?
Im no expert but SS wise i feel like they are not even up par with the italian/Russian. I even feel like they are scored generously most of the time and are simply place holders until the younger teams from USA move up.
Basically I dont see them being USA number 1 when C/B or H/D retires. That is just my observation
