How divine to have, IMHO, the best ice dancers ever - V/M and P/C - in the same competition. Equally my favourites so I'm happy if either win.
You must be very young.

I was underwhelmed by all of the Free Dances here. Actually no team this entire season has really impressed me much in the FD. Weaver/Poje, please save us, you're our only hope...

Why should that make it hard? This mentality has caused judging problems for so long, bah.
Well to quote Tessa, "Those damn twizzles..."
I don't understand why everyone is so doom and gloom about V/M after one iffy skate. Everyone has bad days. Everyone has bad skates. It was their first competition back and they won, posting respectable scores. Chill?

One of the great moments of that awful show. So many quotable interactions.
If there's anything I learned from watching that show it's that Tessa and Scott are soul mates.
Post-Pyeongchang they'll realize they're meant to be together all the time and the whole figure skating world will sigh in relief that it finally happened when they announce the pregnancy of Tessa.
The blatant partisanship of the judges is almost amusing. Check out PCS scoring of Canadian (1), US (3), and Italian (8) judges: http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1617/gpcan2016/gpcan2016_IceDance_FD_Scores.pdf
Canadian judge in particular hosed Chock/Bates. I'm not going to be bothered to do the math, but I do wonder if it affected the final outcome since it was within one point...
It is amusing to see that the countries that whine the most about corrupt judging are also the ones whose judges are most blatantly partisan.
Just an FYI to those wondering why the woman who opened/closed the 'gate' at the boards (referred to as 'security person') was getting so many hugs from happy skaters. It wasn't an expression of joy-to-random-strangers thing.
She is the mother of Canadian ice dancer ASHER HILL.
Asher, and his mother, are beloved and well known to North American ice dancers, especially of this generation.
