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

Parsons skating with an injury was what put G/P behind C/P. The material was secondary.

I don’t think C/P have that much more of an upside, while Z/K have gelled and are just getting started. That guarantees nothing, especially competing from the front, but they have a bigger potential upside.

It might take an extra season, but I think A/V will be more on the Belbin/Agosto-Davis/White trajectory than, for example, Neset/Markelov.

I think the big determining factor next season will be the pattern.

I expect we will see a shake-up of rankings based on how well teams can perform that element.

Agreed. Z/K looked poised to take over based on the current season's rules. But it looks like things are changing a-plenty next year. OTOH, aren't they only doing a partial Golden Waltz and I read somewhere there's no key points? Looks like there could still be lots of room for judging machinations if they're so inclined.
