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

Nevermind Bigbird, I would worry for the eyes of the judges. According to them, C-B have skating skills equal to FB-C.

When speaking about flexibility I was referring to Lawrence not Evan. Their Vogue doesn't have the sass and irreverence that Gabby would have coloured it with. The couples are somewhat similar in terms of frame and flower, but I found C/B more engaging than FB/Ciz. As per skating skills, when since have ice dance judges scored according to actual performance? Skating skills of Cizeron will never trump back-room games in ice dance. Speaking as a purist though, I'm surprised the gap was that wide. Go figure.

Question, did France choose to not enter the FD portion of the team event, or did the team not earn enough points to perform on Day 2.

France did not make the final of the Team Event.

Why would they ever sit it out if they had

I agree with you in regards to Laurence vs Gabby. I think Laurence is a better skater than Gabby, from a tech.pov and is a great match for Guillame in that sense.

However, in terms of musicality and fluidity of body movements and expressiveness Gabby is on top. However, this is a new partnership. Although they both have been skating (and winning, especially him) for quite sometime, they still need time to find their real DNA.

Kudos to them for doing such a great job in such a short time. Especially her, who is the "junior" (for lack of a better term) partner in this partnership, and has no medals to boost, yet. I hope they skate at their best at the individual competition. What the judges will think and do is out of their control.
