They got level 3 on the pattern for the first time this year, I just can't believe my eyes :eek: Otherwise it would have been even more of a monstrous score.
Anyway, so happy they could finally deliver this SD how they wanted to and they beat the WR, yesssssssssssssss BTW I've immediately downloaded their performance from YT because the videos have been disappearing so fast.

I'm hoping this is not a hint. I will not accept their retirement. Nope. Not acceptable. Sorry. Have to skate. Lol.

Exactly, the shouldn't underestimate the power of their fans. :EVILLE::lol:
I hope they'll be able to work with Christopher Dean again and some talents outside skating and combine it all together with the work with their coaches. Like they did this season. :)

ESP version fo their short dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRIdIN3pekM :cheer2:

Gabriella looked so happy in the SD, it was contagious.

How does that girl do it ? And how on earth did they make me somewhat like Ed Sheeran's music ? I'm worried for my sanity.

(And the world record for the SD, finally ! Let the haters choke on their saltiness :saint:)
 
They beaten a WR, the SD this time, they are finishing this incredible season on a high note.

Gaby : "a bit hard to go back to practice, there was a big energy, hard to get out of it and moving on to the next competition, but we're really happy."

They are rehearsing this program on the ice rink one last time, the program that everyone talked about. Olympic games, February, they live their worst nightmare on the ice after Gaby's costume popped open but finish this SD very well, Silver medal.

Romain at practice : "Same energy, but let it be luminous, you know ? Be calm, have fun with each other."

One month later, the dress incident seems to be digested

Romain : "Yes, yes, we checked and checked, and add 50 hooks, 50 points, so if it breaks again, its her destiny to end up naked in front of people :rofl:"

Today they break the WR in the SD, despite a difficult season.

Guillaume : "you might not see that we are tired, but we blame this long season a bit, it's important for us to have the audience supporting us and carrying us".

Next the gala, and then well-deserved holidays.
 
Wish they would have gotten the level 4 in everything, but something to strive towards next season lmao.

She truly looked so happy at the end and that means more than the world record.

Now they need to do the same performance as the Olympics and the overall record will be theirs as well. :D

The world record will just keep going up as it has for years. I grew up with the 6.0 so judges have more freedom. Well done. I see a lot more confidence too now that v/m are out.

I think they have been pretty confident all season long and actually beat V/M at GPF.
At the OG they were quite remarkable in terms of nerves of steel and poise during their fateful SD and then their glorious FD.

What I hope to see in the future is that people, whether they like them or not, really look at them, what they do (their programs are not easy), their actual skating skills and talent without refering to V/M and implying that P/C are overmarked systematicaly. Forgetting also that P/C did win the FD at OG. It did show neither lack of confidence nor lack of incredible skill, quite the opposite IMO.

On another note I watched the B ESP Worlds SD and the commentator once again talked of course about their Oly SD and V/M and implied that they were favorites. Did anyone else hear the innuendos about the usual narrative (judges for P/C and against V/M) or is it me ? This is so getting old. :rolleyes:

I don't think that's what she implied, I mean she really loves them and said VM pulled something out of the bag, meaning they outdid themselves to win. Their FD had a best score of 118 before the competition, which was too low. But then they managed to be better when it counted.

Actually it's him who talked about the odds being in favor of P/C and V/M pulling sg out of their bag. TBH the odds considering the scores all season were in their favor and if not for that dress well ... She otoh was very emphatic on the fact they beat the WR record and how exceptional they were and are. She also insisted on how well they skated under so much stress with the dress so she did counterbalance very well what he was saying. No mischief at all. They both love P/C from back to their Junior and Senior debut with the Woodkid FD where she said "they have that look like they are gonna go all the way to the top and so they should".
Guillaume mention how tired they were so I hope they can manage to hang on one more time.

I was specifically referring to the sd and not the fd and specifically throughout the season too. This is not a criticism.

None of the top teams in any of the disciplines have easy programs. Just for the record, top teams unfortunately are picked on. There are people that do not understand figure skating and there are those that do but personal bias has an impact too. Don’t take it personally is my best advice.
 
World Champions again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All world records are hold by them now. Congratulations Gabriella and Guillaume!!!!!
I´m sad that we won´t see this programs again in competition. But I´m also happy for them that the season is over. They looked tired or exhausted after the program. They really gave it all. I hope they can have a short break before the shows in France begin! They so deserve this!
 
Please someone record their FD from YT especially. The Brit version if possible before it's taken down because I'm stuck at the ballet and would be so gutted not to be able to watch it. But beware I will PM you till you email it to me :D
So happy for them and the whole podium.
 
What a way to finish this season! Incredible free dance (I'm going to ignore the camera work but seriously that guy should be replaced immediately!!) I'm not fond of huge statements like this but I need to say it's been four years since I saw these two for the first time and been captivated by them ever since. So, thank you, Gabi and Guillaume, for devoting your lives to skating and making me fall in love with you and the sport. :) And now onto the well-deserved break although I'm going to miss that perfect blue dress so much... :D

EDIT: Btw I love the slightly altered ending on Guillaume's part of the twizzles.. and can I just point out how beautiful Marie-France looked in the kiss&cry? :biggrinbo
