Gosh, I was just wondering... Nobody really misses them, right? Why talk about them at all?RD with British Eurosport commentary…

I agree. At some point, as memory fades, they will be talked about relative to themselves and not to some rivalry. They are a class on their own. Speaking of the FD in two hours from now, I suspect we are going to see 'aubergine'!!!Gosh, I was just wondering... Nobody really misses them, right? Why talk about them at all?
I stand by my prediction: in 30 years, they're going to be remembered only as the ones that took that one world and olympic title from GG in their 12-year winning streak. Mind my words :-D
I am partial to 'aubergine'. But 'plum' works just as well. More yummy.you mean "plum"?
Why talk about them at all?
I love the RD they showed at worlds but I miss their (initial) diagonal footstep ... I quite liked the mimicry of their blades scraping in tune with the highest notes of the music. It was very original. I quite like when they keep some staccato to their moves ...
Seems it's a compromise: the plum top and black trousers?I am partial to 'aubergine'. But 'plum' works just as well. More yummy.
Not a onesie. LOL.Seems it's a compromise: the plum top and black trousers?
If I'm not allowed to say this, mods, just ignore me. I'm shutting up already!
Is it me? The camera angles? Or was this just simply really not as impressive as I was expecting?
The lift exit I thought was supposed to be longer and different? The last spin faster?
And god, those two arms not off during the rotational lift, bleh, not wow, not exciting, not 'strong' enough.
(Am I kicked off the forum already?)
Yes, the RD yesterday was fabulous, breathtaking, absolutely hypnotizing, wow all the time. That's why I'm disappointed: I felt this to be much less concentrated or energetic than how they skated this at Europeans, while I was expecting to have a stronger performance and somewhat reworked version!As I said I need to rewatch, but I felt the performance was stronger and the step sequence more detailed at Euros. Usually they have their best performance at Worlds but this might be like their Build a Home FD where I preferred the Euro version too.
OTOH their RD was absolutely fabulous here, their best RD ever I think.
