gabriellapapadakis: Besançon et Épinal, vous êtes les deux dernières villes de la tournée, on veut vous entendre fort fort

“Stepanova/Bukin (physically) are similar to Virtue/Moir in that the height difference between them is so little, but how come Stepanova/Bukin are so much weaker than the former in pretty much everything? This is not hate, I am just curious. Like Tessa Scott are able to execute all these crazy lifts etc., and Stepanova/Bukin kinda struggle in comparison.”

“I always feel so bad for Stepanova/Bukin, in 6 years of seniors (including nationals), they have only won 5 times, 3 of which were just the challenger series wins. They are way more interesting than Sinitsina/Katsalapov imo. Anyways, mad props to them for continuing to skate. They have been wronged for so long.”

“I Don’t understand why Russia is pushing Sinitsina/Katsalapov instead of Stepanova/Bukin. S/B’s programs are more memorable compared to just blurs of ‘Barbie & Ken’ from S/K. As we know, TAT is behind S/B, and since S/K are always ahead of them, that just reveals how little of power TAT actually has in Russia, and how much Zhulin has way more power than we think (going a bit too far probably, but Zhulin’s ex-wife IS the current wife to the press secretary of Putin. Does that influence things? Maybe.).”

“How Sinitsina/Katsalapov won Euros is still beyond me, while Papadakis/Cizeron weren’t perfect at all there, they still should have won, but not by that large margin that they usually do, obviously. If this happens in Beijing, and they make S/K somehow win, that is the end of watching ice dance for me, forever.”

“What Chock/Bates have achieved since Pyeongchang is amazing. They came back from a difficult position (FD disaster, serious injuries, stagnating results, etc.), when so many people were rooting against them, and they’ve made it back to the top, defying the rules of ice dance. They proved the whole world wrong, and I hope they keep it going and get some type of medal in 2022, to show the ones that are still doubting them, even after the season they just had.”

“RIP Chris Reed. :(“
