WANG AND LIU WERE NEVER EVEN GOOD, LET ALONE NOW

CFSA collected their payment from the ISU in return for hosting this event.

They're so shit. OMG. Like even before we get to them being criminals, they were shit, and continue to be shit.

Gonna log in to twitter to see if I'm in solidarity with the crazy vmies for once.

Are we sure it's CFSA. Out of 4 three are I.AM coached

Sure, but ReedAmbru and HarChan were runaway, obvious favorites to qualify. If it was IAM then why not make sure YoMori gets a spot as well and make it 4 out of 4?

 

[On My Own]

It's very disappointing that not just did W/L win spots, but a lot of the comments after they did were positive about them. I know they have detractors, but it seems they got drowned out by people who cared more about "Chinese National Team Pride!!!!!!!!!" or whatever this time, and perhaps some directed spambots.

Whatever. Can't keep investing in such a sport.

CFSA Olympic selection criteria -

CoC and Nationals scores combined - highest total gets the spot in each discipline. If a tie, then the team with the highest total score from either CoC or Nationals is selected.

ok yes s/h look much improved since their last gp AND i know sui leaned into the hair in her face look when her hair was shorter but i really need both of them to do something with a comb on their heads, please. especially for this program. i think they'd make huge strides in looking like their former super-polished selves if they also didn't look like they just rolled outta bed, threw on their costumes and skates and just stepped onto the ice
