The fact that they have been skating (past few years since OG Vancouver) difficult elements with great degree of control, consistency and with better success, in comparison to other couples, doesn't even register any of the non-fans' mind. You know I get it. ID is pageantry.

Yes, V/M are clearly better and therefore there's no reason to overstate the difference between the teams and pretend that the Shibs skate slow and small when they don't. I agree with what 3:34 and 4:10 said. Well, perhaps not that Scott's trip was a "slight bobble", but I do agree they had enough to make up for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-54321070284979089062017-04-04T02:49:21.171-07:002017-04-04T02:49:21.171-07:00Great observation, 2:47.

V/M's last twizzle was off in addition to Scott's quick slip, and Shib's technique is arguably now as good as or close to as good as V/M's, and they skated their program, which was difficult, flawlessly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-29173088961778822182017-04-01T14:52:27.140-07:002017-04-01T14:52:27.140-07:00Seriously.
