Sui/Han have missed several half seasons in a row due to injury and rehab. They still managed to win Worlds in 2017, and in 2019 by strength of fierce will, along with talent and desire.
However, typically by the way you phrase your comments, you appear to feel that James/Cipres are not as good as S/M, T/M and S/H. In some aspects, J/C are actually better than those teams, whether you want to believe it or not. No team is perfect. Every team has their strengths and weaknesses. I'm completely tired of this rote desire on the part of many to not give James/Cipres credit where credit is due. To win championships, one has to beat fellow competitors. And the point is, they have done just that.
In what aspects are J/C better? Could you elaborate?
I don't think James/Cipres are quite on a level with S/M and S/H, though they are getting closer and improving every year. And they certainly made a statement with their win at GPF.
T/M I just don't find very interesting. I far prefer J/C to T/M regardless of how either pair skates.
Shame what happened at Worlds.
