It’s so narrow! They have to tweak and get higher than p/c somehow! Maybe they can do it? They actually have to get mostly 10’s - it’s crazy! This has to be some great tweaking. It’s almost like general impressions are close to final. With same program can they overtake? I mean a different program all together is just too bad a decision to make. Too risky.
That’s true they aren’t creating a new program- That sends a terrible message! I just wonder if the tweaks to Moulin Rouge can truly truly make judges take a new look at give them basically all tens and plus threes? I doubt p/c score will go down so a new impression of Moulin Rouge must be created and it must be STUNNING!! They must totally force new greater opinions of basically the same stuff! Can they do that? Create a substantially new impression to beat p/c?!
I think P/C are actually more stunning and it does make the difference this year. You often say : "woooow it's pretty/gorgeous". The thing is, V/M have been pretty stunning too in the past, so that should not have been an issue. But Moulin Rouge does create a feeling that I'm not quite sure what it is.
For some it is for some it's not.
I honestly believe that if Papadakis/Cizeron win the 2018 Olympics they could win 3 in a row.
I guess the judges don't agree that it's obviously better.
That's very true, like the Carmen or Goose lift, you just don't forget it. I actually agree with what you say. For V/M I'm waiting for them to do a big element and be like "Holy cow !" and for P/C I sit back. Very different.
I know they'll do Beijing 2022, not sure after that though.
Obviously, I think that goes without saying. At the same time I believe Papadakis/Cizeron are just getting started - they are only in their fifth year senior, which for dance is still early, and I think we'll see things from them we can't imagine now.
Well skating isn't popular in France, but it's starting to get on the news a bit more. There is no proper pressure or not too much on that side and since they live in Canada, they don't feel it (and the press don't bother them, they feel "away from that"). But the discussions are starting, and I'm guessing it'll be 3 times that after Europeans, we'll see !
There may not be much pressure from the public or the media, but you better believe there's pressure from the federation - Didier's not greasing all those judges for nothing.Well skating isn't popular in France, but it's starting to get on the news a bit more.

EDIT : since a lot of people don't take figure skating too seriously too, it doesn't have much hype
Why do we have to quote him everytime though ? He's not responsible for P/C abilities to skate like that, is he ?There may not be much pressure from the public or the media, but you better believe there's pressure from the federation - Didier's not greasing all those judges for nothing.
I feel very sorry for people who can watch skaters as talented as Papadakis and Cizeron and believe that their success is due to bribery.There may not be much pressure from the public or the media, but you better believe there's pressure from the federation - Didier's not greasing all those judges for nothing.
