I still miss watching their skating.

I agree with most of the responses here, even the ones that seem to conflict with one another. I think there are many layers and we don’t really know any entity or person’s true intentions… or if they even know it themselves. Many things can be true at one time and then not true later. One thing...

Sorry if I'm posting information that was already posted (I skimmed the thread but could have missed it), but here are some of the critics choices of the year just to see what the potential spoilers could be outside of what the Globes, Broadcast Film Critics (Critics' Choice Awards), and the...

This reminds me of Tatiana Navka marrying Nikolai Morosov so they could compete at the Olympics for Belarus.

I think it’s disingenuous for you to use this issue to bring forth a separate issue state-sponsored doping.

All I know is, I’m want a deep investigation into these marriages and the whole scheme. There are so many issues that are being touched up on that we don’t even know the depth of it yet.

Is there a criminal investigation? I’m so confused as to what’s established and what’s not as so much going on.

I’m so glad the Finnish ice dance school is gaining traction. I don’t like it when one school dominates. I think ice dance is best where there are multiple centers can produce challengers for medals or are at least getting there.

So relatable.

Virtue/Moir really did have the best SD that season. They captured the spirit of the rhythm perfectly and their performance matched the content perfectly.

Thank you for sharing that thread. It led me to this wonderful video comparing the midline no-touch step sequences where Davis/White, Ilinykh/Katsalapov, Pechelat/Bourzat, and the Shibs did the same steps. Comparing D/W’s quality with the others was very :eek:, and not in a way that is...

I agree with you on Davis/White. That said, I remember seeing D/W live once and I was surprised how much my eyes were glued on Charlie. I realized that he was actually a great ice dancer. To me, Meryl was who I thought pushed the qualities you listed to the forefront. Marina really can’t...

Ooh, thanks for giving me an opportunity to share some videos of teams I’ve enjoyed discovering. As @Tesla mentioned, Punsalan/Swallow’s race car FD during the 1990-1991 season is a stand out, choreographed by Renee Roca and Gorsha Sur, whom I will discuss later: I also really liked...

I think American ice dance before the Russian coaching is severely underrated. This is only unpopular insofar that it seems people think American ice dance didn’t exist until the early 2000s when the fruits of the Russian coaches’ labor, such as Igor Sphilband, Nikolai Morosov, etc., started to...

Here’s another one… I still don’t know how skating scoring worked before they adopted factored placements in 1980.
