Yes, I was surprised that some posters felt their PCS was too low. Honestly, I would have put them behind P/ J, K/F and M/K. They seemed slow and they weren't selling their music at all. I love Moskvina but not enough to think her two teams deserve the PCS they are getting. At least not yet....

I think she will do consulting, less travel - more family time.It's the 19817272 time she said she was going to retire so yeahI don't think she's be able to just enjoy long days of doing nothing after being so active for so many decades.

I can’t see him retiring before Tuktamysheva. They seem so close. Has she announced? Or will she continue?
This was a great final!!
All the couples performed to the max. For me the difference in connection between S/H (and even P/J and K/F) and the 3 Russian couples is more than palpable, and that's where they lose some ground. Especially, both music choices for the Mosvina pairs seemed outdated and dissatached from the performance of the skaters. T/M had a better music selection, but I don't think I saw many original transitions or moves. Everything they do is beautiful but they lack just a tiny bit of "je ne sais quoi" (don't wanna say charisma, maybe more personal input)
Don't you think moving forward they should reevaluate the scoring of the elements? I am happy to see clean performances, but the quad twist of S/H seemed the isolation of a very even event. All the couples were doing the same kind of elements and I miss some challenges or excitement. For me, S/H quad twist, death spiral, both throws and connection is what won the evening
COngrats to all the pairs, and specially Barquero and Zandron, my compatriots!

Not to derail the thread, but Kolyada also said he’ll continue. But there was talk of retirement for Mishin. As for in which capacity it will happen, I don’t know.

I guess better than the sp but both teams had so so programs boring really and they had issues getting the elements done. i have no idea why buti do hope they both go for redemption skates at words. Aaanyone know?// are they going.Well done, Vanessa and Eric! Too bad about the last throw - It was going so well up until that point! It's nice that both Canadian pairs have had redemption skates after shaky short programs.

I do sometimes wish Canada had been just a bit nicer to Weaver & Poje. You know, maybe let them skate in the Team Event even once, so they’d have an Olympic medal. Things like that, to show some appreciation. They might have stayed in for a while longer, to anchor the team til the new blood could get going.

Is it official that they are both retiring? It certainly makes sense, but I haven't seen an official source yet. It would be the end of an era. Actually a documentary about Mishin and Moskvina's school is part of what got me first into figure skating in the early 2000s.

She cant compete with Keegan and his flag. Sometimes bigger is better. Andthose Russians arentsobadandhere hey were the victims.T and M i feel for them. They deserved gold. I looked at their sp and they deserved firstor atleast a tie overall. They were pure skating. Iknow the Chinese were the sentimentalfavorutes and lovely to watch too But if there was fair karma at least T and m deserve a world title. Great skatng from the top teams really a dead heat.Adorable little girl with Chinese flag, supporting her team against a bunch of big bad Russians, ya gotta love it

Moskvina said she is going to, and stay on as a consultant only. Never heard anything about Mishin.
