Julia Simon and Guillaume Cizeron being our Gold medallists of the day.. I understand why the world hate us.  

At least with Simon it’s kinda funny :P

****. I hope they retire right now so we don’t have to see them ever again. Vile people and vile result. The sport is worse off for their presence.

In 2030 there are Olympic Games in France... There is a 99% chance they will win gold there, because that is precisely the purpose of this return.

Hopefully they remove ice dance from the Olympics before then xD

It would be better than seeing those two at the Olympics again.

As someone who knows nothing about figure skating, I am intrigued as to why we don’t like this pair? Anyone want to give me the context?

Anyway, this result is sad. And it’s a real blow to the sport of ice dancing.

So, there's no Russia, this is France... So what's the difference between them? Both want success at all costs, but perhaps France does it more with white gloves...

LFB’s husband and former skating partner was credibly accused of sexual abuse (and suspended six years for it). Cizeron split from his former partner because she didn’t want to train with FSB’a husband (who is a close friend of Cizeron). And then Cizeron and LFB joined forces.

Simon stole a petty amount from a teammate, which is bad but like… it’s just kind of amusing as an outsider.

 

Which is a little different than an ice dance team that came together basically because multiple people wanted to turn a blind eye to sexual abuse. It’s not so funny. And I don’t think there is national bias here on my end, arguably everyone in the leadership of I.AM share responsibility in this (which implicates two of the best  ice dancers of all times).

Ngapeth from volleyball also has conviction for assault for man in train and Simon for theft. That's a cool team there
