Too bad she can't go to the Olympics.

Right she got almost 200 . That’s wild for a 13 year old

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. 

So if you had to pick the podium in a just world who would be on it?

Assuming clean programs:

Gold - Fournier-Beaudry and Cizeron
Silver - Lajoie and Lagha 

Bronze - Guinard and Fabbri if I had to pick a name... but between 3-6 there are a lot of close teams between G/F, G/P, C/B, Z/K, good but flawed teams, actually maybe I'd give the nod to Zingas/Kolesnik as they aren't no much flawed as young

So why are they not giving LL the scores they deserve ?

Because ice dance is not a just world, never has been

 

Figure Skating in general is bad, but ice dance is nothing but a vipers nest of politics
