2009 Tosca!For top class Belbin/Agosto, we need some of the 2004 - 2006 stuff.

Your lossThis was back in the day when I still loved V/M. But then they started having too many First Love FDs. And then I developed an irrational dislike for Scott. And then they made a comeback (which I hate in general) and that was the last straw.
Anybody know what's up with Linichuk? Still coaching in NA?
I think turning the Holocaust into a spectacle is in even worse taste than what DomShabs did.I do think there's an interesting discussion to be had about what makes a program cross the line. I personally didn't mind I/K's SL program mentioned above for example although I probably wouldn't watch it again (I in general wouldn't watch a SL program today, good or bad, but that's my own personal thing and I don't mind that they're done at all). I hope the tech committee is ready to talk about this before the folk dances get choreographed.
OK, we have to go back to the rules. DelSchoes, DomShabs, DenStas, DomSubs, etc. D/S tells us nothing!I don't understand how you can even pretend D/S should be ahead of that, purely based on TES.
Tanith is such a professional. Unlike the Canadian commentators, she even defended Tessa and Scott against those who said they only won in S. Korea because they skated last. She said they deserved to win.For B/A, I take solace in the fact that In an interview with TSL (I know...) they said they skated those programs the best in Vancouver and have no bitter memories of it. They said it took them many years to finally watch V/M and when they did they understood why they lost. That’s what you call self-awareness, healthy attitude, and sportsmanship...
The Scottish OD is one of the best ever. This is ok.
@misskarne not awake for now
Wake up, @misskarne!
Oh and the blankets! See, it's okay, someone gave us BLANKETS. We have an indigenous friend, okay!
misskarne forgot to set her alarm...I am shamed.
I think that was one of the most infuriating things about it (although there was a lot of infuriating things). "Hey, look, we met some Canadian Indigenous folks, so everything's okay now! Go sit back in your corner, little Australia, and let the big countries handle this."
No apology or meeting was ever arranged with Australian Indigenous representatives; no acknowledgement that it was even a problem.
This was actually the first time I remember seeing figure skating all over the news, as the channels and papers blased the "racist Russians".
For the record, I rewatched the CTV broadcast today, and no one thought it was OK just because they met with Canadian First Nations people. In fact, the Canadian commentators specifically said that they really should have been meeting with Australian aboriginals rather than Canadians, and they were all horrifically offended by the program.
Sorry, I meant that that was the Russians' attitude. I haven't seen the Canadian broadcast of this program.
But there was very much a feeling of "little Australia should go sit down and let the big countries handle it" at the time.
Also at Canada being a “big country.” Population-wise, it’s not much bigger than Australia. (And I assume you are not talking geographic-size, because Australia is obviously no slouch in that department.)
