True, but they were the only American team that was taken out like they were, and it felt very intentional, at least to me.

I mean NDdP wasn't amazing, but it also didn't warrant the scores they got at Skate America. And nothing shows it better than them getting a PStB in the RD at Skate America when they have consistently been one of the best techincal team in the business for the majority of this quad.

Please welcome the new coaching duo of Barbara Fusar-Poli and Charlie White (Or maybe he is just helping out or doing choreography, who knows) ETA: It's ISU bio official - https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00101850.htm

You have to wonder if, given how the dance and men's event went, federations will consider their team event strategy after watching the USA lose two almost guaranteed individual gold medals.

I have stated it in the past, but I think Gabi suffered a huge disservice with the way her book was promoted before it even came out. Cizeron's response was hardly surprising, considering every single quote from the book that was published was about him and about how horrible he is. In his...

For the love of god, can we please stop singling out Marie France when we talk about IAM? She is not even the only choreographer there, not to mention some teams at IAM did get outside choreography in the past, so it's clearly an option some teams can use if they choose to. I can't think of a...

Actually third, after Wilson/McCall and Virtue/Moir

It was the skate of the night for me, truly. Perfume is such a phenomenal program, and they skated it so beautifully that I'm glad they brought it back. I would have had them above 120 for sure and in the top 10.

This one is going to be debated for a long time, and I think FB/C are going to be shredded to pieces by the US media in the aftermath of this

@Amantide You are doing god's work 🙏 Do you also have the NBC coverage from the final day of the team event and the RD event?

I'm not one to WUZROBBED, but they were robbed of the top 10 here

For the first time (maybe since the team event was introduced?), it seems likely that the top 5 prospects in dance will all be competing in the team event RD: C/B, FB/C, G/P, G/F, and F/G. We saw in the past that the team event is not always indicative (both C/B and H/D beat S/K in the team...

To be fair, this has nothing to do with IAM in this specific case. He seems to be there as a spectator with people who appear to be her parents. I don't think there's a way to prevent him from doing that. (This doesn't excuse IAM supporting him, obviously.)

It's funny that they still give the photographer credit to Christina though when she's in the pictures... :)

I highly recommend watching their other FDs from this quad, they had some of the loveliest, most innovative programs: 2022/23: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CafkrsfGaA8 2023/24: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOBUcg9o1Gs 2024/25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzJaG9KHQw
