First time Ever Russians have no Ice Dance medal! Reform suggestions?

[Bigbird]

Hum. I saw the videos from the show, she's not maintained her competition fitness IMO. Too bad, she would be great with a very good partner like Dima.

Would be hard to given she's been out of the sport for so long and weight is her primary struggle. Time will out.

Fire all coaches like zhulin and kustarova? No more funding!

Fund training camps where they learn about IJS

Create teams where both have talent! No more bent bobrova’s and stiff Stepanova’s

Send all people to North America to dubreuil?!?

@caseyedwards

Read this and admit you were wrong!

3 Russian ice dance teams in the GP final, yes 3 teams!!
The first time ever Russia has had 3 teams in the GP final !!

Also at the very least even if V/M, Shibsibs, W/P, C/L and P/C are not at the GPF at least SB would have legitimately made the final, S/K would have put in a tough fight as well. In ice dance you just have to pay your dues and be patient.

VM, CL and the Shibs are not just skipping the GP, they are out for the season and may never return.
If you include them, then you need to include Meryl and Charlie and any other team that might return!

It is only WP and PC that are skipping the GPs, so both SK and SB would've qualified even if WP and PC had been in the final!

So you need to come up with a better retort than that @caseyedwards! 2 Russian ice dance teams would've made the GP final even if PC and WP had not skipped the GPs! Russia has never had more than 2 ice dance teams in the final until now!! Time to admit you are wrong @caseyedwards!!

@caseyedwards - read the seasons best list and weep, what was that again about the Russians only being in the final because the others have skipped the GPs?

2 Russian teams in the top 4 of ALL teams competing this season
3 Russian teams in the top 9 of ALL teams competing this season.

@caseyedwards - Time now to admit that Russian Ice Dance is flourishing and has totally mastered the IJS!!
