H/D need to get their act together next year because S/K isn't gonna stop and will be motivated like never after those great results. H/D add a good first half of the season finishing on a high with the GPF win but it went downhill from there for a team which was supposed to become P/C's direct competition. Actually, S/K could have also hit a plateau after Euro but they bounced back stronger than H/D after 4CC.
H/D have done something to their skating I don't understand. They used to be light and fast, very agile on their skate and it created a great contrast with their striking physical appearance, both being tall and charismatic. But this year, I found their skating to be much heavier and labored. Their edges didn't look as precise as before too especially in the RD. For couple of seasons, they were always quite impressive in the RD portion, being very sharp and powerful but it's like they slightly regressed this year. It might be post Olympic fatigue. However, they gonna have to come up with great programs and refreshed skills to battle with S/K. Next season should be a thrill.
BTW, do we know if the Shibs have hinted at a come back ? And if they want to, what would be the latest they can announce it ?
