Can't Help Falling In Love ... with Hubbell & Donohue (fan thread #2)

At least in the past ice dance didn't allow overhead lifts. They must have changed the rules.I don't follow ice dance as closely as other disciplines. I just watch it.

That's ironic, considering that they and everyone else have been making a huge deal of it all season.
I am not perfect. I don't remember everything.That's ironic, considering that they and everyone else have been making a huge deal of it all season.
OK I am done with this thread. I was actually rooting for H/D to medal. I don't want to be called a Troll by their fans. Goodbye.

To lighten the tone in here in a bit (I hope), scroll to the bottom of this all-important NY Post article for "Dashing Donohue"

I agree, though, I was a bit perturbed that Madi was excluded.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
Yeah kinda weird

The most controversial thing so far from these games. Show them Hubbell that you are the hottest, don’t let them forget it.

OK, sorry for the OT but I would like to say that @Vash01 doesn't deserve to be called a "troll" just because she doesn't remember H&D's controversial FD lift from Skate America and didn't read any of the debates on FSU regarding THAT lift.
Anyone can come into a fan thread -- even if they don't happen to be an "uberfan" -- and I hope this thread can remain a positive place for all H&D fans and/or those who like their skating (ETA) OR even just enjoyed a particular program/performance.

Thank you Sylvia.
I had not followed any of the debates about that lift. I didn't even know there was a controversy about it. I looked at the static picture that was posted and voiced my impression Of it. I would have done it for any skater. A still photo does not show the movement In the lift.
Sitting in the arena, things happen fast. Even if I did forget what I saw in the arena, I did not deserve to be called a troll. I have been on fsu for something like 20 years. I cannot always please everyone. Nobody can. It will be good if members think twice before calling someone names.
I am particularly sensitive to fan threads. I don't go to fan threads of skaters that I don't like. The fact that I came here is because I like H/D. I feel discouraged by my experience here, but thank you Sylvia.
OT done. Now you can all go back to your conversation.

I am so relieved to see that both H/D and C/B are going to be participating in the team event! I have been on edge about it all week. Can't wait to watch Madison and Zach bring it in the RD.

Now that is called support.
They both get to skate in the team event the program they had issues with at Nationals before the individual event. Good on them.

Her video is the 2nd one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZgqHrWOx4H/

They will skate 7 of 10 in the RD at 12:28 pm local / 11:28 pm Eastern time.

I wouldn't say that Chock/Bates had issues on their FD at Nationals. They got level 4 on all their elements (and by all I mean absolutely all, except those that are not supposed to get a level). They were just scored lower than Madison and Zachary.

Yes. But it wasn't squeaky clean they had a challenge with a final choreographic lift and Evan looked busted. So I think objectively they want to have an inproved outing. They seem pretty confident with their RD but have had more issues with the FD. I think it's smart it's like having a trial run. Not bad I would say.

I think that is why they are giving those teams the programs they did come to think of it. The USFSA want both to improve their skates in those programs from this season so far, since both will need to be in peak form in the individual to have any shot of a medal. Hubbell & Donohue to improve their SD from their last outings and Nationals especialy. Giving each a chance to do that before the individual which this presents both is a great idea. And it probably won't make a real difference in the placings either way.

Didn't see this article linked yet.
'We couldn't say goodbye': Why Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue broke up off the ice, but stayed together on it
U.S. ice dancers Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue dated early in their partnership. After breaking up, they decided to stay together on the ice.
www.usatoday.com
Yes I also thought this could be the thinking behind this decision.
I don't know if that was their reasoning, but it sure worked with H & D. Their RD was a definite improvement today. Fabulously nasty!

Hell to Yea. We're in the game for the silver now. Great performance from Madi and Zach.

After today I am confident Hubbel & Donohue have a good shot of a medal in the individual.
If you enjoy Leslie Jones Olympic commentary (which is definitely for a particular limited audience) then check out her tweets about H & D. The tweets definitely are not safe for work, though. Let's just say that she effing loved their program.

I’m so proud of Madi and Zach. I was thinking about the struggles of the early years to make it out of nationals, when people said they’d never stand on a world podium, win a national title, or make an Olympic team. And, also, how far they’ve come from this, that could have been career-ending: https://www.instagram.com/p/lMvTJfBdig/?utm_medium=copy_link
Tonight though, they won an Olympic event segment, defeating the reigning world champions in the process.
