Gilles/Poirier fourth in the Grand Prix final. The crowd was stunned and the ISU has been called out for the results.

 

Not sure what Skate Canada did but it looks awfully like a second straight Olympics without a medal for Canada.

I was wondering what happened here. And how the newly formed pair of Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry from France so easily leap frogged Gilles and Poirier with again only six months of training (seems to be a theme today) compared to their 14 years together.

Stephen Gogolev is sitting in second after the short program at Skate Finland with 89.35 points! It’s been a while since we have had a singles skater in medal position at a Grand Prix. Madeline Schiza

And I just found out the French team had a fall and still managed to beat them by 8 points. Where Piper and Paul had two flawless programs. Also the fact that for being flawless the judges have scored them about eight points below what they were giving them last year. What changed?

The ISU just really loves the sexual abuser supporter pair.

 

Full support for Papadakis, she’s awesome, but I don’t want to see either Cizeron or Fournier-Beaudry ever again.

Has anyone seen the outrage that fans are giving the ISU for its judging of the grand prix final in the ice dance?

 

All three medallists ended up being from IAM teams (Ice Academy of Montreal). Many fans are saying the scoring was heavily biased and influenced by them and stated they will always make up a majority of the judging panel (They at least get 5/9 judges per event and can be as high as all 9 judges from this academy). So they will always give an advantage to their athletes as was proven with a deep analysis of their judging at the grand prix final.

 

Anyways the backlash has gotten so intense that Piper has even written a letter complaining about the unfair judging as of late which has led the ISU needing to review their results. Even fellow winter Olympians have spoken out including Ivanie Blondin.

Ice dance gonna ice dance

 

Chock and Bates keep getting record scores, when they’re slow as hell, have terrible ice coverage, awful twizzles and he can’t even bend at the waist 😂

 

But it’s not like we don’t do it too. L/L have been our best team for a year or two, but are sacrificed to keep trying to prop up G/P

 

Honestly, ID should be taken out of the Olympics entirely… it’s as crooked as boxing

To be honest, skating wise, LFB and Cizeron are BY FAR the best team out there. It’s not even close. Great speed, great ice coverage, and just amazing edges. She was skating circles around her old partner for years, now teamed up with someone like Cizeron 🤩

 

Not that ice dance typically rewards the best team… but by actual ability they’re miles better than everyone else.

 

Chock and Bates have been propped up for years and just keep getting slower and have terrible ice coverage… and his back is so bad he can’t even bend over anymore. 
 

Gilles and Poirier, are, well Gilles and Poirier. Good all around, but lack the finish to be great. 
 

Honestly, in a just world I think L&L would probably be a favourite for a medal, IMO they’re our strongest team, but have been pushed down to try to keep G&P up


At least that’s my opinion.

      I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same

      In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

      impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
