Maybe it's just me, but I find this music, and this program, to be incredibly juvenile and something a junior team would do to show how they're "maturing".

I haven't seen such ****** scoring in a while. Talk about inflating the scores for the Russians. Really? A Level 1 on the second part of the required footwork for both North American teams. Hogwash. The technical controller Ms. Katalin Alpern should be fired for being as corrupt as it gets.

Yes, double hogwash.

If B&S were hit for what they did wrong maybe not - but they were rewarded with 68.42.

Event over.

Bobrova's posture makes me mad, especially in dance holds...and I don't find russian technically above the canadians, really...

This is why Russia should never get an Olympics. This is as bad as during the cold war when they openly would cheat.

OK, now tell me that this result is fair and nonpolitical.
B/S were a hot mess and WON by a huge margin.

You told me I was talking nonsense. Well, what do you say now?
I felt the technical team was suspect, but a judging panel with 5 former SSRs, 4 of whom would certainly favor the Russian teams? How dumb do they think we are?

The men's and ladies panels were nearly as bad. No wonder Kovtun and Lipnitskaia got astronomical scores. Yes, they are good, but.....

Hm..and new PB for B/S....mostly due to PCS boost. TES score of 32+ is not that high relative to other teams....I/K scored 34+ at TEB last week.

home inflation of course
I still dont see B/S as Rus No.1 they wont get this benefit at the GPF

they are making a big mistake pushing B/S
I/K have the better momentum than them

This makes me glad that the US boycotted the 1980 Olympics. I could just imagine the ******** they would have pulled then.

In Sochi,

B/S will have huge advantage over anyone other than D/W. They will just randomly call your level down to keep B/S up.

Same with that twiggy chic, her PCS will rise to the level of Top 3, and her GOE will beat out everyone, too. Why not? this is Russia.

Unless W/P made mistakes, it's been years since they received a score that low in the SD. My jaw is still on the floor.
