I've been sick for some days and tonight I woke up (unplanned) right before the last group. I had no means of watching but took to twitter to sea results live. Tried to stick to J*ckie Wrong's feed but he's very ignorant about ice dance and got on my nerves so I started going through some hashtags... big mistake. People there are more than nasty..... and like somebody said on the previous page (sorry, on the phone, can't like your comment but would a hundred times!!), they've probs never seen a nipple. Ugh, it's 2018 dammit, bodies are bodies and they allow the athletes to do what they do. I have tremendous respect for Gabi (and I still haven't watched video!) and if somebody can look at this in the best way, it's her. When some time and the frustration of it passes, I can see her owning it and dissmising the old-fashioned, closed-minded haters 'cause she's just that cool.
Now today it's a long day of traveling for me and I won't be watching the FD either, but let me put this out into the universe:
Gabi and Gui will skate lights out, will get the perfect score and will win this by a mile over T&S who will get around 117.
Calling it now, feel free to quote me tomorrow
And by that I mean, don't despair, lovely people in this safe space of a thread, everything's not lost, the judges gave them higher PCS and for me that means they know what we know about who's who. Nothing is rigged, nothing is guaranteed but when those two skate the way we know they can, it will be recognised. Go live today and try not to worry, Second place in ice dance by not so many points is not such a bad place... the greatest ones have done a bigger climb, look at Yuzu, Aliona&Bruno and even Gabi and Gui themselves in Helsinki FD.
I watched it on HD TV and didn't see anything related to nipple or any body parts. It literally was a quality performance (big Rhumba pattern) with problems of execution occurring during twizzles and Gabby's twizzle in the PSt.
