Question about the Ice Dancing event. I've seen on social media and now in the news that there is some controversy surrounding the Ice Academy of Montreal and judging. According to a Global News article:

 

Does it feel like the results are being fixed, or are I.AM  simply listening to the judges on how to improve? It really does look like P&P have been SEVERELY underscored, the optics are very bad IMO.

I have heard about this, but I don't know enough about it to comment. Everything I've read online agrees that the Canadians have been underscored for the whole season. 

 

Funnily, them using RuPaul's song has brought in a lot of LGBTQ+ fans and they are NOT happy about the score from the team event. I don't know if the ISU or IOC is ready for the gay backlash.

Susko ninth and Ellis 14th after the first run of the women’s luge.

 

Really impressive debut Olympic run by Susko.

Ends up 5th. But great result!

5th is great for Lamarche! What a season for her.

Glad it wasn't fourth xD

 

Lamarche is definitively looking promissing for the next quad (a medal in the 1500m here is a lot to ask but I guess it's possible).

Definitively feeling better about team Canada than I did yesterday xD
