Not really interesting. They had them 4th in TES because of the error in the final element. Until that point they were giving higher overall GOE to FB/S. They had FB/S second in PCS again because of the error ( they had them 1st in two of the components).
Yes, but I would have expected them to dump G/F regardless. Not that any of this bodes well for G/F.
Please! I often wonder if one of Gui/Fab's many issues is that they don't have enough internal competition in Italy to push them. Along with having really bad taste in program choices.
They did dump their Perry Mason program for Bond in 2017-18, when it wasn't well received.
And I have never forgiven them!
Great music choice but their styling doesn't match the music. They should have leaned into grunge and gone with flannel, ripped jeans and messy hair.First look at Bashynska/Perron
Best RD music so far !( choreographed in France I believe so it is what it is lol). Finally some Nirvana and am just thankful they are not on the Senior international circuit where Rettstatt makes them change their music
Having watched Bourne & Kraatz pull this in 1998, Charlene just B&K'd her team.Charlene decided to call out the judges on social media, not sure this will end well for Guignard/Fabbri.
to the skate Gods they win a medal at the Oly's.
It really is. As skaters they utterly lack both irony and camp, but straightforward romanticism suits them well and they sold it gorgeously.
Agreed, it's their best FD in a long time, and I think the home ice response will be really moving.
If they are getting dumped to such severe levels, doing a press conference isn't going to fix anything. And the fans will still rally behind them if they feel they've been unjustly scored. We've seen it before, and it doesn't matter whether fans know any rules or not (cough cough B/K days).
Or Beastie Boys Sabotage perhaps?
There's a difference between a press conference and speaking to the media in the mixed zone, which is what I referred to. The current behavior that includes sulking, storming out of the K&C, refusing to speak to the media and reposting shady posts is doing them no favors. They are not the first team to get dumped, and teams came back from this before, but their behavior is digging them deeper into a hole IMO.
SOMEONE should. And think of the costume opportunities!
Okay, but what does speaking to the media in the mixed zone have to do with rebounding from what seems to be a clear message given by this panel anyways? The judges are going to do what they want to do. Speaking to the media and saying they are disappointed won't make the panel suddenly change their ways.
You will notice I only complimented the music choice
It's about perception; there's value in them appearing to have a fighting spirit instead of looking pissed off and defeated. No doubt what they are going through is objectively hard, I just think we've seen teams go through similar things and handle them much better.
That's because many skating fans on social media (Twitter, Reddit) tend to be childish as well
well Le Gacs have done a pink panther program…So apparently there was a jewellery robbery at the Louvre today. Which dance team do we think was responsible?
G/F, she wasn't leaving France without something around her neck?So apparently there was a jewellery robbery at the Louvre today. Which dance team do we think was responsible?
The thing is that Charlene and Marco actually have an argument with the PCS. Bourne & Kraatz had trash programs that the US and Canadian media were trying to scream injustice about every chance they got. It's absolutely unexplainable to lose PCS to the Lithuanians, and their concern in the K&C with the score yesterday centered around how they suddenly got tossed down to the 8.5 range, somewhere they haven't been in a long time.
over the specific judges who tried to lowball them, and I thought the FD just reiterated all of it. But being gracious also isn't going to get the IAM-supposed bloc to suddenly say "wow they were so sweet, here's your points back"
