This pretty much sums it up. I agree with everything else in your post and have nothing else to say.
thanks !:yes:

Ice Dance is OVER-THE-TOP, subtlety rarely works. I was hoping this season Shpilband could package them properly but I am not seeing much of effort in that front.
I don't agree that Ice Dance is always over the top and subtlety doesn't work. Virtue and Moir's Free Dances from 06/07 and 07/08 were wonderfully soft, subtle, mesmerizing pieces and they managed to win the Free Dance last year at Worlds. So I think subtelty does work quite well.
If VM and DW tied, what would have happened?
2 bronze medals?
Wouldn't the best FD score had broken a tie?, as that holds the highest percentage in the ice dance event; therefore, Meryl and Charlie would have been the bronze medalists instead of Tessa and Scott.
I know when Evan beat out Johnny at 2008 Nationals, it was because Lysacek had the higher LP score even though their total scores (SP & LP combined) were tied.
Yeah ))) Seems like no matter how many quards you did (I'm about Joubert who is my favorite skater after Yagudin and Plushenko) or how hard you work, if you're not american you're don't desereve the title
I don't want to speak for other people who post on this board, but I don't think this is a case of fans pushing for the American teams to win just because they're American teams; I think it is more likely a case of fans wishing for the Russian team NOT to win solely on the basis of their being Russian.
Are you sure??or is this just a opinion??I can't see why and I don't want to say that they only won because they are Russian, but after all that's what it looks like. No way their CD was better than V&M, B&A or D&W. :
The Federation didn't dump K/NI am reading post-Worlds Russian papers and it is not a happy consensus even in Russia about D/S win. The federation is split about which team must have been supported. Bestimianova went publicly criticizing Russian Federation for dumping K/N. Tchaykovskaya and Zhulin also believe that it's not over yet and Vancouver is going to be all-out war for the gold with Canadians. Pretty much they are saying it is either V/M or one of the two Russian teams in Vancouver.
Are you sure??or is this just a opinion??
interesting who was better and why???I am sure. I generally prefer the other teams over D&S, but had they skated the best compulsory, I wouldn't have objected. But the others were better, so their placement wasn't justified.
I am happy not to share your view:agree:Skate Dance is not figure skating.
interesting who was better and why???
huge pattern////????Virtue & moir cl

V/M was not the best CD
