Well, be aware P/C (and others) did much more than "cleaning up a transition and making minor adjustments in step sequences". BTW, a lot of points in ice dance are given for technical stuff which is almost invisible (or hardly visible) by common people. AFAIK, changing the music doesn't add any...

Not really, there were so many posts comparing the total BV of P/C GPF with V/M Nat'l championships. As for "major changes", I know the story that, since Canadian Nat'l, MR is a completely new program compared to GPF, which is obviously an old event to forget. All teams introduced changes to...

Sorry but these last words are yours not mine. No need to extrapolate to talk about conspiracy.

Marks are always fun at Nat'l championships but they were definitely hilarious for V/M at Canadian championships. The way these marks were used afterwards for a huge "promotion" on social media to make comparisons with P/C was just as hilarious as the marks themselves.

Propaganda is a form of promotion that frees itself with all or part of the reality. This is what I was referring to. No need to make so much fuss. Anyhow, CBC wanted to tell a story with this movie. Why not? You talk about conspiracy, not me. Conspiracy is something totally different and I...

The movie is nice, very well designed and mastered. Some parts are really interesting especially when Samuel Chouinard explains how some sequences were first created and then step by step modified. Now, no one is fooled. Releasing such video 15 days prior the individual competitions seems a...

V/M will stop right after OG, they won't even compete in Milan. It's already decided.

Not surprising, Guillaume Cizeron is a very modest and humble person. Even if he beats 20 WRs, he will never claim he did! Anyhow, he's right. We all know BV are subject to revisions hence it's a bit subjective but still, in a given season, it's a goal for all skaters to get SB which potentially...

Coming back to the WRs topic you wanted to address... You're telling us that Season Bests are fake, score comparisons are fake, etc, right? Accumulating WRs is definitely relevant for all skaters! Be sure of one thing, being the very first couple to break the bar of 200 pts was among the major...

Kurt Browning is of course completely right when he says "the system was designed and build to make comparisons". This was actually one of the main argument to promote it and get it approved by all federations! Skaters can now get a detailed score breakdown and they use it to compare and...

From time to time, you should watch the Canadian channel CBC and listen to its famous figure skating commentator and former famous Canadian skater namely Kurt Browning. "Different judges, different competitions, you can say that but the system was designed and build to make comparisons"...

Hahaha! Let me see... Mahler and Gazunov pieces "harder to skate" compared to Moonlight Sonata... Hummm :lol: :lol: So funny! Poor Beethoven! So "V&M could easily do a successful program to moonlight sonata"? LOL! They were so far not able to deliver a Moulin Rouge program great enough to beat...

LOL! Please, how can you say something like that? I guess you know Guillaume designs all P/C costumes and he would NEVER design nor wear the type of costumes Scott usually wears! No way!

Well, pairs are there for jumps and acrobatic stuff. Ice Dance is something else to me. And it goes back once again to the different visions of ice dance. I really love programs where all technical elements are thought and performed to magnify the choreography. This is a real challenge and all...

I fully agree. No chance for V/M to skate Moonlight Sonata with P/C style. Marie-France actually explained that. Both couples have different strengths and different artistic goals. And the same applies to the SD. In any case, regardless of the music and short or free dance, the point is that...
