Such a disappointing outcome, this one is going to take a while to digest especially after a similar (but somehow less difficult) outcome happened in 2022

Should have drawn a judge on the panel.

Gotta give a little boost to the skiers who have never won a World Cup before, sort of a “I’m surprised you did so good" bonus.

Silver is a massive disappointment however. Just crushing result. Hopefully it fired him up for duals.

No, there is a tie-break

Genuinely speechless about this xD

with absolutely no luck at the Olympics

Realistically is gonna win between zero and five gold medals tomorrow. Hopefully closer to five than zero :P (Five would be extremely unlikely, but I do think it could be two or three if we have a really good day) I do think we pretty clearly have more medal and gold medal chances tomorrow than in the first five days of the Olympics combined (I’d say we had two reasonable gold medal chances over the first five days and we have four tomorrow).

Honestly my main criticism of both CBC and NBC is that they’ve not covered why people dislike FB/C at all. They may vaguely allude to it at best. I guess both have a vested interest in not rocking the boat too much re: I. AM. American media is far from perfect, but it’s certainly disappointing that they’ve swept it under the rug (at least the outlets carrying the Olympics). I don’t keep up with French media as much as I should but I’m assuming they have been pretty silent on this given past precedent with how the French media prefers to look the other way at things of that nature.

Someone forgot to tell they were supposed to get embarrassed.

So happy for Gilles and Poirier but sadly the gold medalists are deeply souring me on this.

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).

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

Hopefully they remove ice dance from the Olympics before then xD It would be better than seeing those two at the Olympics again.

At least with Simon it’s kinda funny :P

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 LFB’s husband (who is a close friend of Cizeron). And then Cizeron and LFB joined forces.

I think this is a worse scandal than 2002 pairs.

****. 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.

I’m going to be sick, I think the judges will give it to these two… individuals And I thought they would at least deserve to win based on what they did on the ice… and they don’t! They fucked up, shouldn’t be higher than silver. The program sucks, they made a huge mistake and they are both horrible people.

YES!!!!!! Mistake on the twizles, there is hope

Awesome. And I mean that as sarcastically as I can muster over the Internet. I’ll be so mad at C/B if they let LFB/C win this xD

I will say, I do really like this free dance program from Chock and Bates.

Gonna be silver or gold for , just depends on how the deplorable team skates

Alright, now will the team I kinda dislike win or will the team I think are horrible people win?

The CBC commentators are audibly crying too
