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.

Ridiculous if you ask me

There is a reason why figure skating is near the bottom of my winter sport rankings

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.
