The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

I am aware of that and that was your point that I was responding to. Having everyone ignore something isn't really a good thing. And, again, I am not happy when tech panels don't even review a problem. There needs to be the same level of scrutiny for all the skaters.

Isn't it though? I mean I genuinely don't know, but were others punished from willy-nilly mistakes then? I do think it's outrageous that CZ and CH judges gave them GOE 4 for clearly poorly executed twizzle, but others did note it to varying degree. On the other hand, about the rotational lift, none of the judges saw a problem, not even those whom overall placed Americans #1, or the one judge who gave negative GOE from the twizzle. So that, at least, is consistent judging.

I have been a sport judge, and one of the main lessons we were given was "It's not a big deal if you screw up, if you screw up same way for everyone".
 
All I care about is that R/A had fun and did well. And, hopefully, that someone posts the video of their RD and it stays up long enough for me to see it, because I'm not signing up for yet another streaming service just to watch the Olys even if it is free.

What is actually happening in this forum right now? The way people are going after Cizeron is kind of insane. You’re calling out the psychological abuse Guillaume is accused of by Gabriella — which is fair — but some of the stuff being said here feels just as toxic, if not worse, than what you’re accusing him of.

Is it really that hard to say you’re disappointed without turning it into straight-up mockery and humiliation?
And i’m not even a fan of the guy...

I actually am a fan of Cizeron's skating; he's an incredible talent. It's his character that's in question, not his skating.

Anyway, nobody else would be able to win the Olympics with a cloned sheep.

Perhaps this particular community isn't your speed...
 
Lajoie/Lagha have Romain Haguenauer listed as a former coach in their ISU bio. I found that interesting. He has been with them in the KnC since their junior days. Maybe it means they won't be working with him anymore in the future, even though they are staying with IAM?
 
For what it's worth, poking fun at Cizeron and his ego is mostly pretty light-heearted IMO.

And I do like that in the discusssions on the more problematic aspects at IAM, no one here is shouted down. Personally, I think the situation is complex and there are no Disney villains. No one has attacked me for stating this here. Social media spaces can be much dicier on difficult topics like this.
