Let's not act as if PC have invented the wheel. If anything the credit goes to Gadbois, it's their style that they have crafted together over the years before PC even came to Montreal. PC's original style was pretty tacky Euro trash before Marie France gave them new public personas. The Picasso...

It seems like Meryl Davis and Charlie White have been slightly forgotten by ice dance fans over the last 5 years. Despite an Olympic gold medal and their stint on DWTS they are hardly brought up in conversation anymore. The champions and innovators of the 80ies and 90ies are still mentioned...

Last time I checked Tessa had three babies but that was two years ago, who knows how many babies she has given birth to since :rofl: The North Korean cheering squad consisted of 230 women (not 3000), all dressed in the same uniform, and they weren't allowed to cheer for anybody but North...

After years of Sekret Babies I had become a little desensitized to all the madness that's going on but after some trolls in the P/C thread claimed that Skate Canada ordered thousands of North Koreans to cheer for VM only and give the cold shoulder to PC, my interest in conspiracy theories came...

I can't help but wonder if the outrage VM's Carmen lift still causes after all these years stems from some very deep rooted sexist social expectations we unfortunately still put on women. There have always been lifts where the women were held upside down with their heads in their partner's...

Scott Moir It's a shame Shoma Uno isn't eligible yet.

Dave tweeted that part 2 of the interview would only be available to his paying viewers on Patreon. I don't know if it's already up or if he has changed his mind about it but it doesn't look like we'll get to see it ( unless you want to pay that is ).

Johnathan spent the last few weeks bashing VM fans and Canadians in particular and now he complains about bullying? Dave tweeted: "You were so supportive & wonderful when my cohost couldn't handle skating." Very classy to throw Jenny under the bus after she helped to build up TSL in the first...

EU citizens are still classified as immigrants tho. Their right to work and move to other countries doesn't change that. And Bruno doesn't want to get a regular job here, he's an athlete and has to obey to IOC rules that have nothing to do with the EU or Germany.

No need to jump to conclusions about anybody's intentions... I have always been a fan of Aljona and I would be extremely sad for her if her Olympic dreams are crushed because of something as simple as a language test. But the question in this thread was if Bruno should get citizenship for...

But nobody watches skating on television and there isn't an active fanbase for skating either. Unfortunately the interest in show skating does not help the amateur side of the sport. Without ratings and big sponsors the sport won't be mainstream. The success of golf is a mystery to me but it is...

I am German, still living in Germany, and I can assure you that you will have a hard time finding anybody who a) knows who Aljona and Bruno are and b) cares what kind of medal they'd win. Skating is barely on TV anymore, even the Eurosport commentators recently said they keep showing skating...

You obviously never worked in a hospital or in a retirement home. :rolleyes: And it doesn't change the fact that it's a medal that no one in Germany wants. Nobody would profit from it and if you gave people the choice they would probably completely cut Support for athletes all together because...

Germany will never make the money back they invested in Aljona and Bruno even if they became Olympic champions because there simply aren't enough sponsors and investors that are willing to support figure skaters. The public opinion about funding of athletes seems to be to end it completely...

I work in the medical field and the majority of nurses and caretakers here in Germany are Eastern Europeans who work extremely hard, long hours for very little money. None of them would get German citizenship without passing a language test. And these people are saving lives on a daily basis...
