To capitalize on the fact that Ice Dance is trending, Slate just wrote a ridiculous article about how Ice Dance is not a sport: https://twitter.com/Slate/status/962931939991834624

This is old, isn't this?To capitalize on the fact that Ice Dance is trending, Slate just wrote a ridiculous article about how Ice Dance is not a sport: https://twitter.com/Slate/status/962931939991834624
They're morons. Ignore them and celebrate!Yeah, but they tweeted it as if it was new to get the point across. Doubt they changed their mind on it. They probably just want clicks and reactions as well.
Did GRRM repeat his claims as well? I remember him saying Ice Dance is not sport.To capitalize on the fact that Ice Dance is trending, Slate just wrote a ridiculous article about how Ice Dance is not a sport: https://twitter.com/Slate/status/962931939991834624
Yikes! Wait till they see P/C's Latin Ed Sheeran. V/M have a Latin flavor and beat even if they chose "nontraditional" music. But Ed Sheeran![]()
#Shibsibs trend, Moulin Rouge trending, I even saw Life is Beautiful trending in my region, so...
I think it's time to realize that this is by far the best discipline.
Wait until they see all the Latin SD, and all the FDs. And the rest of the top teams. Okay, I'm too young to say anything like it so if there are veterans here tell me : we might see one of the best Ice Dance Olympic event... ever ?
Based on the reactions I'm seeing on social media, the general public has much less discriminatory tastes than we FSUers do...plus the Latin dances this year have been more on the....classy...side. I haven't read anything about cultural appropriation yet. That was what I was worried about actually, haha.
Also, V/M were smart to not listen to the ice dance fans as their music selection seems to have gone over very well with the general audiences.

I have a bunch of friends that are professional musicians and they were all posting P/C's moonlight sonata on their facebook pages. I too am really happy the sport is getting some attention!Seriously, when it comes to pubicity, this Olympics have been great so far for ice dance. Moulin Rouge is even global trending topic on Twitter![]()
Roll your eyes all you like, but the Ed Sheeran pieces that Papadakis/Cizeron have chosen fit the requirements and the dance does have a Latin flavour. You may not like them, but please stop saying things that aren’t true.
I think we have more depth now than possibly ever. There are at least 10-12 teams doing interesting things. Maybe even the final three flights are must see.
3 world champion : V/M, C/L, P/C. V/M have 3 silvers and P/C have one.When you think how many world medalists are competing right now, it's really incredible.
Haha. I had an assignment last year analyzing data from twitter in python and I used Charlie White's twitter account.Thought the conversation about ice dancing trending on twitter, etc. was interesting, so used it as an example of how to do quick Twitter data mining in R for a colleague. Quickly plotted two word clouds, one for "VirtueMoir" and one for "ShibSibs".
I'm guessing people on Twitter are speculating whether Scott kissing Tessa's neck was platonic or romantic?I like to think the word "son" being so common is sekret baby talk.
ETA: Also enjoy "milkbone" as a big word for the Shibs.![]()
Rewatching the Olympics the last years, usually the best performances winI went back and watched the last few Olympic winning FDs and noticed flow usually wins. Speed, power and glide. P&C trump everyone on that. V&M would do better to take out some of the transitions and go for more flow. They even open up with staccato tango movements. I actually love their new Moulin Rouge - its dramatic and goes for the highlights. Not sure it is constructed in a way that pleases the judges though.

Well I surelely was too young in 2006, but if N/K FD was hyped... good for them ? (No shade, just it was not extraordinary in composition even though it was powerful - but that is me being subjective)When I thought about previous winning FDs, my thought was that the ones with the most hype/postitive press about them usually won.
The exception was T/D in 1994....![]()

This year there is hype for many FD too.
Interpretation big yes. Like I said, not my absolute favourite (but OGM worthy).IIRC, lots of talk about Navka as Carmen.....good interpretation....long lines etc.
Best moment in figure skating history.FP/M shocked by winning the compulsory dance but nobody thought that would hold up after the OD and FD and of course we got Barbra glare in the OD.
Didn't they go undefeated in their last three competitive years?
