Na those were politiks. B&A were put in silver because russian felt Navka could eat on their heads. While DenStav were too dangerous. Don't get me started on Grushina to fend off anyone else too. That were the worst time in ice dance history. They nearly killed their own sport by being that obvious and crazy.
Virtue & Moir were already the ones to beat by 2009. But with Tessa's injury, they had some problems winning before that.
Still, ice dance WITHOUT politiks is no ice dance.
I just wish russian ice dancers could, one year, come by early september and be fully ready, costumes made, and just tiny bits and pieces to fix.
What they shown there is unacceptable. Not one team was ready, not one came with costumes (I will pretend Popova's costumes ARE not costumes). The whole russian ice dance is not working not being ready by the end of august. It's fecking ice dance, everything COUNTS.
