Well, Rettstatt wanted ice dance to go viral. Guess he wished on a monkey's paw.
It's not just the scoring, either. Wait till the every-four-years crowd finds out about Lolo's banned boyfriend.
Lori Ward has a new interview with Olivia Oliver about her frustrating experience trying to get Skate Canada to take her assault seriously.

Surya at least has the last laugh. The standard line on social media goes something like "She did a backflip at the Olympics and they banned it just to be mean to her!" :lol:
They seem to be getting a lot of support online from fans, which is probably encouraging them. But still, they really, really should not be doing this.
Agree about the Hitchcock program -- that would have been perfect to bring back!
It may very well have been. The problem was the suddenness of it. If skaters are doing some things poorly, call them on it consistently, don't pamper them and then pull the rug out from under them.
It's a huge mess. And I can't imagine what it's like for these talented young juniors to graduate to seniors and be told, "Now ditch all those things you've worked so hard on and give us slop!" It must be disheartening.
I would have given it to G/P over F/G today, much as I love the Brits' program. But I would advise Piper and team to watch it. Complaining once made sense, when the scores went crazy and others were complaining too. Complaining multiple times can get you a bad reputation.
