No, it didn't in 2018.Don't worry, the post-Olympics season always looks like that. Or, almost always

I skipped that one.No, it didn't in 2018.
I don't remember it ever feeling like the discipline is done for.I skipped that one.
But what I remember from previous times, the year after OG is usually when athletes retire, change partners/coaches and fail to qualify as a result, take a year off etc. etc.
Well, that's subjective. A good part of the posters on this thread don't feel like that. Me included I'm team "it will be interesting to see how federations will scrap the bottoms of their barrels".I don't remember it ever feeling like the discipline is done for.
Lol. I've already seen it in the 2022 worlds, and it wasn't at all interesting. It was also really dangerous to put pairs who are not prepared to a competition that is too high for their level of preparedness.Well, that's subjective.

Out of sheer curiousity, perhaps. Wonder if it will be fun enough then to see these bottoms of the barrels actually performWell, that's subjective.

That's subjective, too.Lol. I've already seen it in the 2022 worlds, and it wasn't at all interesting.
I don't think so. You can find amazing things at the bottom of the barrel.Out of sheer curiousity, perhaps. Wonder if it will be fun enough then to see these bottoms of the barrels actually perform
Where did I say otherwise? Even if the quality is subjective, and someone may have enjoyed what was shown during the Worlds, the facts are facts.That's subjective, too.
It's been floating around on Twitter for a few days that Kadyrova is now with Kolesov (Akhanteva's partner), heard from a Russian forum. Not really confirmed but apparently these forum rumours usually end up being true. I hope the P/K rumours are not real!What? According to that sheet, Kadyrova/Balchenko and Pepeleva/Pleshkov are confirmed splits? This is the first time I hear of that.
Every single one of those teams had tech minimums, so it shouldn't have been "too high for their level of preparedness." And there's no reason to believe any of them would not have been there had China and Russia been there. They were already entered.Lol.

It is nuts. I hope to hear of more pairs being formed and that they stick together. All countriesI think the bigger issue is the lack of teams just below the top tier waiting to move up as the teams at the very top retire. Every country—yes, even Russia and China—is looking rather thin at the moment.
