I feel like in worlds 2015 and 2016 they REALLY rose to the occasion and the placement were correct.Or maybe it's also that the judges found other worthy americans to reward with good scores. Like for W/P with V/M.
I mean of course they have levels issues, which is weird, but it's more than that isn't it? It just seems that now they're "not enough" anymore.
Personally, and I know this is harsh but, I never found C/B worthy of the results they got in 2015 and 2016.
Maybe the judges are realising that too?
There is a bit of that playing in there too : how do you explain to a team : "Well you're USA #3 now" without lowering their scores ? But even in the SD : the pattern isn't really big or deep, their Pst could use a ton more polishing, and I feel like they are jumping from a cliff going on to the twizzles, they're too hesistant. Compare that to Shibs technical abilities and cleanness or H/D who have great elements and... it's not as good.
Their lifts are great though.
But on the technical they were some times where I found them better before. Just like with WeaPo.
WeaPo for me really went backwards when V/M announced their comeback. It wasn't a case of CAN #2 at all, their elements didn't look the same, they looked sloppier than before, they seemed to have lost confidence and it showed.
