So it is official, FB/S have been released by the Danish Fed to skate for Canada. Good news for them, more opportunities, support and a chance for the next Olympics.

Their FD costumes reminded me of Balanchine's Stravinsky pieces as soon as they debuted them.Thanks! Interested it mentioned Balanchine......
At the end of his TSL interview, famous figure skating choreographer Tom Dickson was asked about what his favorite programs were in the recent Olympics, he answered 'the German pairs team, the French ice dancers, and Katelyn Osmond just because he didn't expect it.' His response is at 53:00 of the video interview:

I will forever be grateful for what Marie-France and Patrice did for Gaby and Guillaume. I think they were really pressured at this table to play along with the extreme chauvinism, and nothing of what they said really shocked me. How can we judge on just a few minutes?
Gaby and Guigui know them on a daily basis, so it is for them to deal with this.
However, I really wish that Marie-France and Patrice would publicly take some blame for what happened, even if I'm totally unaware of the whole situation and how things go in figure skating or what the procedures are and who is taking care of dresses. I fully agree with Alain that you would expect them to at least feel somewhat responsible for what happened if it happened several times before. It's mind-boggling that they did not sow an elastic strap in the neck strap or something to simply avoid anything falling down if ever that clip would open. It does feel so idiotically amateurish at that level.
Yes, Marie-France's fall was a lot a lot a lot more horrible. But the comparison feels very awkward and forced, as the clip opening was soooooo avoidable. And Marie-France had never fallen on that lift, in stark contrast to the confession that that clip had opened in practice also.
The fact that the whole table avoided the 'what if' question at all costs shows for me that they all know the answer.
I really wish that some big skating names would simply say it. I am very happy that in the NYT article the opening line stated the obvious.
Canada is turning this question into an elephant in the room.
And Marie-France and Patch seem not bothered.
That's a pity.
EDIT: At the very start, Marie-France says that this is a moment they worked towards for 20 months. That struck me, as it really points to working with V/M only...
Romain was already coaching them as children, when they were still training in Clermont Ferrand with Gabi’s mother, before living to join him in Lyon. They choose to follow him to Montréal. So they have a much longer history with him than anybody else. It’s rather normal he is more sensitive to P and C’s disappointment than to V and M’s one. It doesn’t turn him into a disloyal coach or a non objective one. His relationship with the canadians is obviously more recent and professional.But I’m sure he enjoyed training such champions, as well as P C.
I perfectly remember Romain saying last year that he had pointed out ( told them) that they had made many mistakes all the year long and were responsibles for letting points go. The result of the WC 2017 was made of what each couple had achieved during the season. That’s what I remember Romain saying. Which is far from being pro P/C.
If P/C and Romain feel even the tiniest awkwardness regarding training there, I think they'll make a move. They can afford to do that.
I saw in a french article that he did coach them this year too.In the post FD interview V/M didn't mention Romain as one of their coaches.
Guillaume has been very sweet to Gabriella during the Olympics. I'm not saying that he usually isn't (of course he is), but he was so gentle with her there (holding her hand during the press conference after the SD, comforting her and drying her tears backstage)...let's say more openly affectionate. And this beautiful moment after the FD, when he kissed her hands...They were both so moved. It was beautiful to witness.
They often say they're not close to each other outside of the rink. But you can tell they deeply love and respect each other. Soulmates on the ice, that's for sure. And again, sure there's no "sexual tension" between them (thank god we won't dwell upon this and fancy all type of things like V/M fans do), but there is an undeniable sensuality. I actually love how they touch each other's body, they brush each other's limbs so soflty. I find it funny that the spanish commentators are always so fascinated by their "sensualidad" lol "¡Qué sensualidad entre ellos! Comó se miran a los ojos..." = "So much sensuality between them. How they look at each other's eyes..." They point it out almost each time
