WEAVER AND POJE: The Future is Golden

I feel like even their exhibitions have alluded to a love connection between the two of them recently. Speaking of love being expressed - at Canadian Nationals Kaitlyn and Andrew skated around the perimeter of the ice waiting for the marks to be completed and their names to be called for the free skate and the audience gave them a tremendous show of love and support. It was almost like a wave but very spontaneous and they seemed to be very touched and appreciative. I think everyone knew they could not afford another costly error and there was a collective holding of breath during their twizzles. It was a lovely moment to witness.

Saw that on a video. It was lovely. They seemed so touched. After the skate, I noticed how Andrew had his hand over his heart, nodding to the crowd. They are quite adored! And speaking of exhibitions...their "Ghost" is a complete lovefest! Kaitlyn always looks like she's going to cry when he lifts her against him in the part where the voiceover says "I love you". It's just an incredibly romantic program.

All the crowd was with them there as they skatewise are the number 2 team in Canada and the judges overmarked G/P in the short and undermarked W/P...the mistake made the judges slaughter them. The diff. in their marks was exactly what they lost in the twizzle mistake but the rest of their program was far superior to G/P but was not marked that way. CDN politiking at its best. They wanted G/P to have the momentum as being Canada#2 going into the Olympics. Cdn skating fans are not idiots and when they don't like cdn domestic judges being dirty they will be heard.

I don't think that anyone, including GP themselves, sees GP as Canada#2 even though they got the silver. The margin at the FD was huge, as it should be, so n o problem there

The message was for the international judges to see them as Canada#2 which can make a difference. I hate skating politics-both Federation and coaches
 
WeaPo are in PyeongChang! Nothing but love for them.

And as far as Cdn nats...I knew that it would be pretty tough for WeaPo to make up the points in the FD for silver but the fact that they almost did just that was amazing. They are Canada #2 (actually #1 for me).

I'm just so excited for Kaitlyn and Andrew! This hasn't been an easy season but they inspire me with their positive attitude and fighting spirit. They seem to have a beautiful close relationship and I just love them to death. Wishing them all the best!

For sure it has not been an easy quad at all, especially last season and this one, but it's always a pleasure to see them skate and maybe they'll go until 2020 ?
I know it's not always easy to be in the shadow of your teammates who are Olympic champs and I used to say : "Well, WeaPo have to step up like everyone else, so what's the matter ? The French are doing it, so are the Americans", but I did not realize that it was more than skating - when V/M got picked for flagbearers it strucked me. This is not just about being the best or beating the best.
But I don't know if you follow them on social media and instagram but they seem to be very kind and balanced people, alawys cheering for everyone. Anyway, this generation of Ice Dancers seems to have more respect towards everyone than what we used to see in the 90's and the drama :D And K&A represents that very well IMO. They would make great ambassadors for figure skating (and I love how K is such a proud Canadian).
For me though, they are still in the Bronze medal hunt, I learn never to count anyone out for sure. When they skate clean, they can have their levels 4 (more than twice in 2 GPs only), just get rid of that twizzle Nemesis.
 
Once again WeaPo have been asked to take one for the team. I wonder how the rest of the team can celebrate knowing that WeaPo will probably leave PyeongChang without a medal?

I'm sure they are fine. They all did a good job and got their Olympic moment, and probably never thinking about the ones Skate Canada trew under the bus to "secure" that gold.

Good skate today! My eyes were on Andrew all throughout the twizzles.

Like Kaitlyn's dress, but I think I preferred the old one.

Just 3.42 points separating them from 3rd place...

ETA they got level 3s on their partial step sequence, twizzles, and non-touching step sequence. If they'd had level 4s, they'd be about 4 points higher and in third.

that coral/orange skirt and his matching shirt really stood out and was nice to see, some of the teams had quite bland colored costumes!
