the audience was NOT here for Davis/White

The Canadians were better than the Americans tonight

[Wafflecakes]

Dance over. Exactly as expected.

TBH I don't like either of the Canadian's or American's FD's all that much. I much preferred the Russians and Italians.

Looks like Canada will play the USA for the gold medal in women's hockey for the like 7th time in a row.

and probably the same will happen for the men too

Again, the ice dance judging reeks of rigging. That gold belongs to Tessa and Scott. I mean, both teams were strong, but a 5 point gap is just laughable...

[Wafflecakes]

The pathetic grasping at straws giving me life

Even the Canadian commentators said that neither V/M or D/W would be a wrong choice. Yet suddenly a bunch of fair weather skating fans who only tune in every 4 years claim to know better?

Laughable

[Hollywood.]

I'm not surprised the Americans won, but I won't complain cause I didn't watch the event. Figure skating judging has always been shady.

Possibly. Ticket scalpers are still begging for a Russia / Canada gold medal match.

I'm surprised they still have woman's hockey in the Olympics since the same 2 teams have won since it was brought in.

can't wait for Davis and White and their ugly skating to retire already

I really hope figure skating doesn't go the way of "artistic" gymnastics

I don't understand the judging in #icedancing. @Virtue_Moir should be leading in my honest opinion. #finnstep #Sochi2014

I take it you know who that is, since I'm assuming you're NOT a fair weather fan

They only lost to the Americans in the shootout, so their still in. Back in 2010, Canada lost a game and the media made it seem like all hope was lost, and then they stormed their way to the gold medal.

Tbh, Canada's mens hockey team doesn't even look that strong in the games they've played.

....because it is always so hard to find people to root against Americans eh?

Facts are facts. D/W have been curb stomping V/M consistently over the last two years. The fact that people are seething NOW over what has been apparent for years just shows how little they know about skating.

[dabunique]

Too many bitter people on here. MD/CW have won every competition this year. Very proud Gringo today.

If there is any rigging it's for da Russians to get bronze. I like da French couple more.

You're right - I should ignore what the figure skating experts are saying about how Scott and Tessa should have won, and instead, listen to a random on an internet forum. Thanks for your wisdom.

Once C tier former figure skater who never ever medaled at the Olympics posting an opinion is not the same thing as fact.

Hell. He has never even been trusted as a judge.




Opinions are a dime a dozen, and unfortunately for the pressed it is the trained judges whose opinions matter.

The "experts" at judging figure skating are the judges.

Figure skating ain't a sport to get worked up about.

Canada will beat the USA on the ice in the real blood battle.

...yes, because of a result you don't personally like they must be lying


You probably should have been complaining about this two years ago when D/W began dominating V/M........ there is too much history backing up the results for there to be any REAL controversy spawned.
