PERFECT SCORE, BEEYOTCHES!
I know it’s nationals, so before anyone wants to grumble about inflation... in the jello pit, NOW!
"Welcome to _______ Figure Skating National Championships!"
Seriously, let's just enjoy the moment

I do believe there’s a case for Virtue and Moir being greatest of all time when you look at body of work and influence on their peers, which is what I think Tracy was referring to. (Btw, can we nominate Tracy Wilson for best sitting posture?) But I do think Rod was pushing her to make the T&D comparison. It didn’t come from her.
I do think V&M are a legendary team who deserve a perfect score. They’re also the type of legendary team that deserves two Olympic gold medals. Personally, Moulin Rouge is not what I wanted from them as their last FD, but when I look at what they do in this program, there are no faults. They perform their material artistically and technically at the highest level.
Thanks, I'll look that up! (the Jeff Buttle programme)
It was a bit before my time, but I believe Bestmianova and Bukin did some stuff that was considered pretty avant garde for their time as well.
Ok, calm down Tracy Wilson haha. They are one of the greatest ever, but I do think they have competition for that top spot LOL.
Davis/White, Torvill/Dean, Klimova/Ponomarenko and Grishuk/Platov would like to say hi.
Okay, I'll agree with Torvill/Dean and Klimova/Ponomarenko....just saying
Davis/White should not be considered close to being "legendary" along with couples like K/P or T/D, and G/P and the like. Unless acrobatics on ice and inferior skating and expression is the new "legendary".
Oh, I completely agree that not all modern dance is avant garde. I think P/C are actually a good example of this. I do regard, especially V/M's Carmen, as pushing the boundaries enough to move into avant garde.
And I agree about the Duchesnays as well.

Davis/White I think are the weakest OGM in all of ice dancing history.
After watching the GP, I did not think Moulin Rouge could be salvaged. But the music cuts now are so much better that it is so unfortunate that they didn't debut this version during the GP.

That being said, that FS was definitely in the top 5 free dances I’ve ever seen, taking into account the technical PRECISION, combined with their storytelling capability and Bravura.

You don't like D/W, we get it, but if you think they are the weakest OGM in ice dancing, obviously you need a history lesson in Olympic ice dancing:handw:
D/W are not only the weakest OGM in ice dancing history, but I think the weakest by a long mile and will hold this title for as long as ice dancing remains a sport in the Olympics.
These flames are too hot for my old bones to handle
