@notimportantms7 @chazzleazzle First of all my comment was in good fun, I actually do think that watering down your content is a smart move sometimes. Second of all, have you conveniently forgotten that in 2018 we still had the +/- 3 GOE system, therefore the results aren’t in any way comparable?

@SimplyLex494 @chazzleazzle His competition not being so weak. 329x321 even with a whole extra jump pass and higher bvs...embarassing

@AngiTalkSkating That is indeed quite iffy, but then again, was it called illegal wrongly this time or was it called legal wrongly before? (I genuinely don't know the answer)

@SimplyLex494 Judges calling F/G’s lift illegal after a full season of them performing it with no calls feels like another example of blatant corruption which is why even people who find F/G overscored are calling it out.

fstwt is so unserious because how were y'all complaining about how FG can't skate for the entire quad yet now are clutching your pearls over them not medalling 😭

@cpominomenon Oh ok thanks, I don't follow ice dance closely enough to know all the background info. Still, even with all that in mind, I can't help but find it funny how everyone suddenly apparently wanted FG to medal after shitting on their skills for years.

@SimplyLex494 and now once again a questionable call happens and ZK gets the benefit... other teams have gotten preferential treatment in prev years (Bock and F/G) but as the new quad starts we're seeing which "young" team is getting politicked to hell and back and which are being panned

@AngiTalkSkating Wait I'm not sure I follow, can you maybe rephrase that? 😅

@SimplyLex494 I can only answer for myself, but the outrage is due to another ethically questionable judging decision that a favored team that somehow had judging decision mysteriously go their way too many times this season.

@AngiTalkSkating I loved Laurence’s skating long before she became relevant. They’re amazing ice dancers and they do deserve the titles. The judges do not judge what’s happening outside of the rink, whether we like it or not.

Giving my unpopular opinion: FB/C are the best ice dancers since V/M (but not as good as V/M obviously). Their skating is on another level than anyone else and also compared to P/C who never had the flow, speed, strength, and control that FB/C have. Laurence elevates him so much.

Okay we can say what we want about FBC as people, but damn, can they skate

Smart/Dieck still having the top FD is kinda awesome. It is indeed the best FD of the season

@rockerskating I've always wondered how it was legal. Sometimes having a cool looking lift is just not worth the risk.

I'm guessing - again, total conjecture - they deemed the StaLi an overhead lift because his arms were straightened? It's been fine all season because they've been a bit bent to keep it from being an overhead lift

Jackie Wong@rockerskating

Lilah Fear/Lewis Gibson GBR twizzles 4/2, midline 3/3, one-foot 2/2, dance spin 4, StaLi3+RoLi4, CuLi4 TES 70.09, PCS 55.80, -2.00, FD 123.89, TOTAL 208.98 into 2nd - -2.00 for illegal element, has to have been the combo lift that has been fine all season, they were looking at it for a long time bit.ly/4lTsOsw #WorldFigure

@yh3xogm Discuss hypotheticals when it actually makes sense. He lost by 22.5 points for crying out loud. It was not questionable. It's not debatable. If you want to talk about who should've won the 2014 worlds, sure, let's do it.

Figure skating fans when you discuss hypotheticals like any normal sports fan does I can only pray you don't watch any other sport because damn

It's funny because today Yuma lost to Ilia by a similar margin and not a single Yuma fan is delusional enough to think he should've won overall. Shows you how dumb the typical fanyu mindset it.

Lex@SimplyLex494

Like, imagine thinking he should've won a comp that he lost by 22.5 pts but being super confident that his win by literally 0.33 pts was 100% deserved.

I mean, undoubtedly, you of all people would know what a questionable score is, your pookster is the one who had to be overscored to get to the free at the Olympics at the expense of a small fed skater

Lex@SimplyLex494

Always conveniently forgetting that he flopped his SP in 2019. On the other hand his 2014 title is VERY questionable

Too bad Lewis didn't have it in him to wear a kilt like John Kerr did in their Scottish OD. Unless there are some rules that don't allow it now?

@yh3xogm It's funny how you think it's Nathan who took Yee's place in the final and not, say, Deniss, who had a lower BV and a fall.

I, too, would deny my fave should have got a big fat DNQ, not even gonna pretend otherwise

Lex@SimplyLex494

@yh3xogm Please y'all just say that because it's embarrasing that your Olympic champ couldn't beat an 18 year old in the free, so it's understandable why you didn't want him there 😂
