The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

Apparently, she's being dumped for a cloned sheep. Do keep up.

Man......how could I have missed this?

It makes as much sense as anything else today!

I am aware of that and that was your point that I was responding to. Having everyone ignore something isn't really a good thing. And, again, I am not happy when tech panels don't even review a problem. There needs to be the same level of scrutiny for all the skaters.

Isn't it though? I mean I genuinely don't know, but were others punished from willy-nilly mistakes then? I do think it's outrageous that CZ and CH judges gave them GOE 4 for clearly poorly executed twizzle, but others did note it to varying degree. On the other hand, about the rotational lift, none of the judges saw a problem, not even those whom overall placed Americans #1, or the one judge who gave negative GOE from the twizzle. So that, at least, is consistent judging.

I have been a sport judge, and one of the main lessons we were given was "It's not a big deal if you screw up, if you screw up same way for everyone".

Now that Alex Shib is dead to me, how much money do I have to give Cizeron to take Maia on to be his whatever element partner?

Why would you wish that on Maia? Do you hate her?

 

[Rhumba d’Amour]

I don't know, I'm now kind of into the Sheep Cizeron/Human Cizeron idea.

That would open up all kinds of new choreographic possibilities, too, as sheep have four legs.
Custom boots would presumably be needed

honestly i respect the hustle

All I care about is that R/A had fun and did well. And, hopefully, that someone posts the video of their RD and it stays up long enough for me to see it, because I'm not signing up for yet another streaming service just to watch the Olys even if it is free.

If you have instagram search for the account theskatingsession …

Yea Simon Reed is here for Eurosport - and I really like Louise Walden, whose commentating with him.

She's been brilliant!

This is my account, and it should still be there but I cannot access anything myself for 72 hours because of being locked out for filming Olympic videos, even though they are my own. I filed an appeal but it won’t go anywhere.

What a pain, sorry Tony

I think Guillaume would love the most to dance with himself after cloning another Guillaume obviously.

They’d end up in a cat fight.

"I'm prettier than you!" "No, I'm prettier than you. And I'm a better skater." "Are not!" "Am too!"

 

[Rukia]

on the other hand put them in a room of mirrors and they may never find their way out

 

[MsZem]

"Say, look at you. You look just like me. We're very pretty."

 

[Karen-W]

Hmmmm... Guillaume Cizeron and his clones in a room of mirrors from which they never emerge. This is something I could get on board with as it would mean they never skate competitively again.

 

[my little pony]

it would be like the X Files episode, Eve 6, but on ice

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

it wold be like the X Files episode, Eve 6, but on ice

So Cizeron and his clones poison all their competitors first?

 

[my little pony]

or they could just act it out, I dont think server guy would have the time for all of that

 

[clemence]

What is actually happening in this forum right now? The way people are going after Cizeron is kind of insane. You’re calling out the psychological abuse Guillaume is accused of by Gabriella — which is fair — but some of the stuff being said here feels just as toxic, if not worse, than what you’re accusing him of.

Is it really that hard to say you’re disappointed without turning it into straight-up mockery and humiliation?
And i’m not even a fan of the guy...

I actually am a fan of Cizeron's skating; he's an incredible talent. It's his character that's in question, not his skating.

Anyway, nobody else would be able to win the Olympics with a cloned sheep.

 

[Rukia]

please give my personal apologies to guillaume for saying he and his clones would like to look at themselves in the mirror

Perhaps this particular community isn't your speed...

Lajoie/Lagha have Romain Haguenauer listed as a former coach in their ISU bio. I found that interesting. He has been with them in the KnC since their junior days. Maybe it means they won't be working with him anymore in the future, even though they are staying with IAM?

 

[Katha]

For what it's worth, poking fun at Cizeron and his ego is mostly pretty light-heearted IMO.

And I do like that in the discusssions on the more problematic aspects at IAM, no one here is shouted down. Personally, I think the situation is complex and there are no Disney villains. No one has attacked me for stating this here. Social media spaces can be much dicier on difficult topics like this.

 

[clemence]

Sorry if my message sounded kinda harsh. I posted it super late and I was tired.

Bu yeah, exactly. Social media can be really depressing, and this forum actually stands out because people usually keep things respectful, even when opinions are strong. And yeah, important topics aren’t being brushed aside. The questions about IAM are obviously legit, considering everything that’s been said and written over the past few years.
I’m not criticizing what’s being said these days, just the way it’s being said.

The Olympic context creates this huge pressure bubble, first for the athletes, obviously, but also for fans who care so much about the sport. Every four years, people kind of explode and let all their emotions out in an over-the-top way. That’s human, and I get that people need spaces to vent.

I just wanted to say that jokes are never really “just jokes.” They add to the psychological pressure athletes are already dealing with all the time...
I didn't mean to offend anyone, just to point out that this conversation was starting to take a weird direction.
