H/D have been bragging about how great their chemistry is since they first teamed up. Its kind of annoying but not a new strategy? They literally said their free dance last season was about a couple having an affair

It’s not that I think it’s anything new, but to be quoted on a cover of a magazine as saying “Our Chemistry Is Fire” is more than a little extra. The need to rethink the way they sell themselves imo, for their own good.

[silver-elysium]

okay I totally agree - stop telling everybody that you have chemistry, if you do, it’s gonna be obvious on its own. now I’m annoyed because they’re telling everybody what their trademark should be (and true, chemistry is going to be their most realistic asset against PC. although HD also have far better skating skills, but we know that doesn’t matter in ice dance anymore) and I just think what they do on the ice should make it clear by itself. (it also sounds a bit cocky but that’s a personal pet hate, so maybe I’m the only one who has an issue with that)

Hawayek/Baker’s FD is like if you put every Gadbois FD in a blender

Code for: levels don’t matter any more in ice dance, GOE is worth more, so who cares about levels. 

Ice dance has totally lost me at this point. Like is it even pretending to be a sport? 

[i-follow-ice-dance-now]

🤔

Ok, I’m kind of torn right now because I love H/D and I loved their performances in the GPF, but I don’t know a lot about scoring yet and technicalities, so it’s interesting that so many people say that they didn’t deserve the win. And this quote by Zach is very telling. If this is really where ice dance is going, then it is kind of disappointing. So I’m kind of torn between being happy that my favorite team won and being disappointed that they are concentrating more on performance and less on technical elements, and that they won based mostly on GOE.

[saucylittlesmile]

I think it’s fine to enjoy their skating, and be glad they put out a good performance - I misinterpreted his quote at first, because H/D tend to let their heads get in the way of their skating, sometimes, and I thought, they finally decided to just go out there and do it!  Good for them!  But the reality is, when you actually look at the protocols, H/D were in LAST place for base value (42.83).

To think about that in some more concrete terms, the team that earned the lowest overall score for the FD, had a base value of 44.58, so really, there was only about 1.5 points difference.  And yet there was a huge difference in overall score – 124.82 vs 111.39.  Over 10 points difference alone in GOE and PCS.

Now, I’m not going to argue that HD didn’t deserve to win.  Their skating is beautiful, and (sorry) Z/G are, especially in comparison, unpolished and rough.  But as a sport, things like getting a level 2 on a spin (which usually means silly mistakes like not having enough rotations) ought to count a lot more than they are right now, as a whole. 

[swizzlesandtwizzles-deactivated]

It annoys me more because we’re in a season where all the teams are getting dreadful levels on the tango romantica patterns but it’s not affecting the scores. 

For example, in previous season, if Hubbell/Donohue had scored level 1 and level 2 on the pattern dance at the Grand Prix Final, it would be panic stations and a bad score…. not ‘we came here not being afraid of losing levels’ and a seasons best RD score. 

I just don’t like this judging system because it could do serious damage to the reputation of ice dance. 

I just feel like I’m taking crazing pills. 

GETTING LOW LEVELS IS THE ICE DANCE EQUIVALENT OF A MISTAKE. You don’t need to actually fall for it to be a mistake.

What @swizzlesandtwizzles said.

[silver-elysium]

I’ve been saying this for a while but here’s my controversial opinion of the day: remove ice dance from the Olympics and tell them that until they get their s**t together, they can’t come back in. I love ice dance and the dancers that would miss their chance at an Olympics, but is there even a point in competing when your actual skating and dancing on ice skills have no impact on your scores? 

Boy, I didn’t expect to get this angry about dance scores in an event where neither VM nor PC were participating.

Episode 8: Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

May 23, 2016

The Inside Edge is where I take you behind-the-scenes of the @SkatingPj Podcast. It is no secret that I have known these two for a very long time. I am a big fan not only of them as skaters, but as people. This podcast had been in the works for some time and I was delighted to grab a quick half hour with 2010 Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir before they headed off to the rink for the Stars on Ice 2016 Toronto show.

A lot has changed since they first started skating together 19 years ago. They have come a long way from skating together as children to national and international titles and acclaim. Many would have thought that Tessa and Scott would have nothing more to accomplish in the amateur ranks of skating. Part of this podcast is spent talking about their return to competition and their new training locale in Montreal with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon.

They have never really left the ice and skating in shows during their time away takes all kinds of training. In addition to their return to the amateur ranks, they have been involved in other projects as well, such as Tessa’s launching of a new a jewellery line.

This podcast is a great snapshot of where and what Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have been up to. Connect with Tessa and Scott on social media.
