I loathe Imagine.
Me too, and once again, Chock/Bates' skating failed to engage me.
I loathe Imagine.
In a perfect world of each team skating to its full potential, I see the Olympic podium as P/C, V/M and the Shibs. BUT skating is NOT perfect and one bad twizzle, missed lift or misstep on a pattern and that can all change. The top teams are really pushing the limits in terms of difficulty and that's to all our benefit. But the chance of bad luck/bad day cannot be ignored. The fore-mentioned top 3 may be moving towards that finish but I still think it will be an exciting event to see who can produce their very best when it counts most.
We just said that french and chinese federations have ties since many years. Not more. The marks doesn't surprise me given how they skated and Halina was on the panel. Of all judges at CoC only two, possibly three, had other agendas than P/C winning the Olympics. Just watch the protocols.
You're such an uber, I'm glad there's only one like you for PC. We have already too many from VM. Given how you react one would think you're close family.
Papadakis and Cizeron...wow!!!
Last weekend: Virtue and Moir, wow!
This kind of rivalry--where it could go either way on any given day--is gonna make the olympics so exciting. I wonder if someone will pull out of the GPF?
For those that say that it shouldn't be this close if both skate clean--then your opinion is probably biased (which is fine, just own it, and start every statement with "In my expert, biased opinion, I think that _&_ should always be ahead of _&_ overall because __..." then insert a winking or laughing emoji, and go back to biting your nails (like I'll be doing at the GPF if both teams show up).
ETA: A little off topic, but I can't imagine how P/C and V/M would be judged at this year's GPF under the 6.0 system... :shocked:
In my non-expert, biased opinion, I think that Gabriella & Guillaume should always be ahead of Tessa & Scott overall because they bring something to the ice that no-one else brings.

So yea, I feel they should always be on top. Even if they fall each three times
And I'm rather confident that they will be judged higher than V/M this season because of how the programs are. But OK, I'll go back to nailbiting because that was part of the deal.
Honestly, I am really really anxious to see how this turns out, because it will depend on very very small things.
This seriously made me laugh out loud here at the office
