Goodbye, Aliona. An amazing career.
Is she retiring? I think she is the diva from that song Never Enough - nothing is enough for Savchenko. They will have to carry her off in pink pleather and swarovzki studded spandex.
Goodbye, Aliona. An amazing career.
We need a Canadian prayer circle.
Bring all the Canadiana you can find: bring your toques, chesterfields, bagged milk, tragically hip albums, barenaked ladies concert t-shirts, 150th celebration memorabilia and, of course, William Shatner posters.
Okay this is enough. I am happy but you aren't a virgin Aliona when it comes to world titles. I know she is happy but for goodness sake woman you were the heavy favorite. I mean you were up against Candyman! Its not like you solved cancer or world war. Just be grateful LOL. It was a great skate indeed but her but it is like the French in ice dancing I am not sure they should be getting such great score when the skaters are unequally yoked. One skater definitely has lower skills than the others and that should be reflected in the scores. I am glad T and M got a medal and REDEMPTION. Happy for the French - knew it would happen some time BUT this might be one of those bronze or medals- you have had your chance now move on. You got lucky - now don't push it.

Bagged milk! Haven’t thought about that since I moved out of Canada 10 years ago, fond memories of getting ticked at my college roommates when they put the pitcher back in the fridge without changing out the empty milk bag
shut up about the milk
I think FS should be open for different masses of people. Does people listen to Christina Agiluera nowdays? Yes. Why shouldnt skating programme exist to that music? Using Despacito in ice dance is worse than that because a lot of teams use it, so it become contra productive. One program to Cristina Agiulera is fine for me.
It's actually very convenient, because the bags are much easier to dispose of than cartons.The pitcher thing got me the most! How much effort for just a bleeding pint (or more) of milk? When that bag pops, there is a lot crying about the spilled matter I presume? Sorry couldn't resist.
It is questionable to judge what younger generations needs. You dont expect they enjoy seeing someone skating to classical music all the time. Because, they dont. The things are just changing, no matter if we like those changes or not (well its hard to like the changes). But new generations are new generations, something completely different from us
Hi.
Sorry to jump in here but you keep saying this and, respectfully, I don't think you're correct.
I suspect there are quite a few posters right here on GS who would fall into the "new generations" and yet I don't see much praise for the program. Saying that younger audiences will enjoy skating more if there's popular music from ten or so years ago playing during some programs doesn't show much respect for taste.
It isn't the music choice that's the problem - though Candyman is not a good song for skating in part due to the lyrics. It isn't that the song is modern, if a few years out of date, that's the problem - other teams skate to currently popular music, including the bronze medalists who use Disturbed's hit cover from 2015/16 (and I love it). Woodkid is a popular choice (which I'm thankful for). I hear more Imagine Dragons and Coldplay than I ever thought possible in my nightmares thanks to skating. No, the entire issue here is that T/M are not the right team for playful choreography set to an innuendo-filled song like Candyman. That this came on the heels of Music (is My Life) and makes folks look back fondly on that questionable choice is mind-blowing, imo.
It's getting to crisis time, this team needs their friends to come together and give them a music choice intervention.

Q Where did the energy come from?
Aliona: I think today, our friends and family who were here with us, gave that to us. Our coaches supporting us..because we really were real down...thank you to everyone.
Q You were really tired and still such a performance. How did you do it?
Bruno: I will say, first with the head, with the heart. And try to not think about the pain and the tiredness. We just enjoyed this program one more time.
Q Hand on your heart: After these achievements, olympic champion, sixth world's title..are you satisfied, are you thinking 'yes, this could be a career end'.. for competitions at least?
Aliona: With a crying eye...yeah... I'll have to think first. We gave a perfect performance today; it wasn't just the cherry on the cake, but also the cream as well. You couldn't wish for anything better. But the best is yet to come.
Q Which is?
Aliona: I don't know yet.
Q Vacation?
Bruno: Yeah, a little bit of rest. We deserve that now.
Skating last is soooooooooo bad for Candyman.
