No costume malfunction here. I'd bet that top was SOLDERED on. And while I'm not usually a big fan of their SD/RDs, that is one of their better ones.

Well that was a fun trip down memory lane. Two observations:

1. The changes in the scoring system after this Worlds have done ID no favors;
2. ID teams need TIME and EXPERIENCE to really gel. It was amazing to look back and see what a season or two of additional experience can do when you look at the likes of Wang/Liu and Fear/Gibson.

I would also suggest that this was probably the last Worlds where you can really see that the older teams, who competed back when CDs were required, had a clear advantage over the teams who never had to master them to succeed.

Hopefully I'll join in for the FD tomorrow, meanwhile I'm going to go do my Duolingo in honor of C/L

I recently started learning Italian on Duolingo, if yours is in honor of C/L, I'll do mine in honor of G/F!

I think USFS did get behind them for a short amount of time. I think they wanted them to be the ones to medal at the Olympics but they messed up so the Shibs did as the "back up" in a way. They'd completely given up on C/B at that point. As much as they tried to push the 3 fighting for bronze, they weren't doing much to help C/B.

But I do think C/B would have overtaken them a year earlier than they did if they'd been able to do the GP in the post-Olympic year.

USFS was definitely behind them during the 17/18 season, at least in the latter half of it. They were also behind H/D during the 18/19 season, but that was more because H/D were the only team they could push. I completely agree that if C/B had been healthy and skating during the Grand Prix, they would have won nationals and been the US #1 team. I'm curious what will happen next season if C/B and H/D both have strong programs as to which one USFS will push more.
