Hello, figure skating fans! Thanks for viewing this clip and making it so popular. We're in the process of posting our ice dance coverage to our site and will add links here as they become available. First up, our photos and videos of Maia and Alex Shibutani from PyeongChang 2018: www.meniscuszine.com/articles/2018042244947/pyeongchang-2018-shibutanis-make-history-with-ice-dance-bronze/
Isn't kind of interesting that the Shibs represent a country that speaks English, Gabriella and Guillaume represent a country that speaks French, and the overall winners (Tess and Scott) represent a country that speaks both.
Cindy Santiago actually America doesn’t have an official language haha.
Cindy Santiago don’t forget the Shibs are Japanese even though both were born in the states, making them Japanese-American.
Aww I love how the shibsibs and Tess and Scott are supporting each other
Ok but I’m so proud of Alex and Maia they are such a cute brother and sister duo
Tessa and Scott are like, the epitome of grace. They're such good sports. I've seen it time and again with them, whether they win or lose. It's refreshing to see. The ShibSibs are also so great. Great competitors, great people. I was kinda hoping they could pull a second place medal, but there's always 2022.
Maia and Alex were so beautiful, look at them i'm crying
Some more clips on their way. We have one of their warm-up prior to the short program: ua-cam.com/video/5Kk8XZ28mQE/v-deo.html
Can you post their olympic bronze medal performance to "paradise?" Since the Olympics channel don't deem it worthy to show on youtube. We can't find it anywhere.
when scott and tessa were placed second in 2014 sochi olympics ..in the award giving ceremony they seemed so happy...scott jumped on the podium..hugged tessa..gently kissed her on cheek..they even cheered for davis and white...but look at papadakis and cizeron..what is their problem? they are outstanding skaters ..everybody loves them..but what's with this cold behaviour ...this was not expected...they should learn something from tessa and scott...little humble pie wins the race..SCOTT AND TESSA THE KING AND QUEEN OF ICE DANCE
YES!!!!!! FOREVER YES!!!!!!!
It's your opinion ; but i prefer to see P/C sad today on the podium and after in all interviews to be fair -play , with the winners and coachs !!! and stand up for the canadian judge ....they don't smile ok but they have any hypocrisy !!!
I remember for Sotchi 2014 , yes scott and tessa seemed very happy ....but after ......they made more and more critics about the coach Mme Zueva , and also Davis and White .......you prefer the false smiles and hypocrisy ....it's .not my trip !!!!
That is why Tessa and Scott are viewed as one of the greatest of all time! Not only because of their abilities and talents, but because they're genuinely GOOD people! I'm so proud of them
The problem is not that they are sad... it is that they show rudeness and very bad manners
please ....like your CAN team of hockey ??? please keep your lesson .....
And how cute Tessa was, eagerly shaking the guy’s hand like there’s no tomorrow. So proud of them 😍😍
Tessa and Scot : The essence of art, dance, athletics, beauty and feeling in ice skating! They fully deserved the golden medal and the first place. Loved, admired, idolized, from all over the world! They are matchless! So proud of them!
The Shibutanis, so graceful and sweet. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL THE THREE MEDALISTS! Well done, all your hard work paid off.
Someone tweeted that a commentator said: "We have Bronze on the right ans sadness on the left." Damn... The French could smile a little; you're Olympic Silver medallists for God's sake!!! Virtue-Moir is my favourite. BTW I love the 'Shib Shibs', they are so adorable, lively! They didn't make their whole world come crashing down just coz they didn't get Gold. They are totally soaking in the feeling of being Olympic medallists. Love their nature... Way to go for you cuties.
Jean merdeMonreal - Seriosly, you are not wanted here you pathetic pile of bacterial vomit. Ever wondered why everyone in your life hates you?
Oh wow, Tessa was so emotional there. Understandably so, when about to be presented with a gold medal! I swear Scott said either 'relax' or 'congrats' there. And how cute was he being all supportive as she was trying to hold back tears. Ah!!! Perfect even when not skating on the ice!
Congrats to Maia and Alex. You guys were great!!
So happy for Tessa and Scott. They truly deserved this and its really hard to imagine the ice dance without them. Also, happy for the shibs. I dont have nothing against the french pair but they dont pass me much emotion and passion on the ice dance. With Tessa and Scott you literally feel all the passion in their eyes and at every movement. 👏 Great olympics!!
Scott and Tessa were so lovely hugging everyone before getting on the podium, including their biggest rivals this season. So refreshing to see good sportsmanship during these Games. And the Shibs were so cute approaching Scott and Tessa before they even went out! I feel the French were a little icy... I completely understand they were probably upset about missing first place and that wardrobe malfunction (as well as losing to their biggest rivals), which was probably overwhelming, but they could at least try to be more happy about getting on the podium and a little friendlier with the Shibs and Canadians.
Edit: I realize now that the French/Canadians can actually commicate and language isn't that much of a problem for them, which only makes it more disappointing the French were less inviting and friendly, although it could just be their culture and difference in how they hold themselves as well as various other previously mentioned factors.
caitlin b. Actually, they speak English well (apart from the accent) and Tessa & Scott both understand French and speak it well (more Tessa than Scott though😉)
Audrey Bernadette oh, thanks, I actually didn't know that (about Tessa and Scott or the French)! Impressive for both teams.
Did you see how the French pair were actively rooting for the other American team while the Shib Sibs were sitting right next to them in the medal waiting box? That was just so rude. The French pair may rise in their ranks in the coming years but I certainly am not a fan.
susie suh oh my... I didn't even notice that. not very polite or kind of them, even if they did want the other team to win.
the french have always supported those that they think could not threaten them in their standings, hence their support for hubbell and donohue. v/m routed them since they came back, and the shibs have always been a much bigger threat to them than h/d. i don't like that elitist arrogance of the french, as if their lyrical style is the only true artistic style of ice dance. they'll never match, much less surpass, the supreme masterful versatility of virtue/moir. the french will always rest on their lyrical laurels and not take risks
This ceremony is the cutest, I am so happy for ShibSibs and V/M, what a moment!!
Tessa really looks lovely in her dress.
5:12 "don't cry babe"
Hail to the King and Queen of Ice Dance, Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue! Now, the most decorated olympic figure skaters at all times! And, officially global icons! OMG so many endorsements are lining up for them!
Enjoy the memories folks. Right there are the greatest ice dancers in history.
Tessa and Scott are so talented and gracious 😍
It's nice to see such good sportsmanship from winners! Team Canada!
That's the mark of a true Canadian . . . .
Chrissy Senpai yes, I agree Tessa and Scott showed gracious dignity and I feel sorry for them that they weren't given a much louder, more deserving enthusiastic crowd response, (those that did applaud were great but there simply wasn't enough of them)....probably down to a long-standing 'grudge match' between fans of the French v Canadian couple which is a real shame and doesn't reflect well on the sport in general.
So happy Scott & Tessa won because they deserved it but still amazed at how close their scores were to the French. It should've been been that close imo.
The way Mr Moir stroked Mrs Moir's neck.... oh a fan can only dreaaaaaam...!!! 😭😭😭
Shimmy Gee scott said relax babe!😍
he can relax me any day!!!
@F. Santos well Scott has a girlfriend and they're getting married now or they already got married idk. Before pyeongchang 2018, he already have a gf.
I am very happy for Tessa and Scott. They will be retiring on top not only of their game, but on top of the world. They are the most decorated, the most iconic ice dance team since Dean and Torvill. For me they are the greatest and once-in-a-generation ice dance team. Now they are considered as Canada's hottest duo and already titled as superstars! Woooo!!! We are calling upon Prime Minister Justin T. to please consider the humble hope of the fans to have Tessa and Scott a STATUE in honor of the significant contribution they have offered and cemented to the sport of ice dance and for making Canada so very proud. I am a Filipino but for Tessa and Scott, I am a Canadian as well. We don't even have a winter season here in the Philippines. I have not seen snow for real in person but when it's about Tessa and Scott it feels like I have seen snow and felt how winter feels :) They are truly exceptional and inspirational.
and you Sarah , you are a shame of fan .....month after month you spit your venom ...i think sincerely that V/M are not happy and proud to have fan like you ....i saw an image when Gabriella skated with the problem of suit ...i saw Scott who applauded the performance ....yes , you must have more and more courage when your suit fallen ....
but you are so stupid and limited you saw nothing !!!
V/M havn't need your support !!!
Manick
Crache son venin et donne des leçons dont elle devrait s inspirer
yo soy mexicano y admiro mucho a Tessa y Scott, los amo
Tessa and Scott😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
tbh i feel like the french shoulda been happy with their place.... like their short program was clearly overrated... honestly expected the Shibs Sibs to get 2nd place :/
S4r4h00z I
the french didn't deserve their scores to be that close to v/m's. v/m's scores should've been further higher than p/c's. p/c's skating/programs are always one-note with lots of open holds, dragging on ice, two-foot skating, and hauling gabi up unto their lifts. a lot of repetitive elements as well. not with v/m. v/m feature more closed holds therefore more difficulty, greater variety of edges, greater control on ONE-FOOT skating, tessa not being dragged by scott and vice versa, tessa doing more work in lifts than p/c ever will be willing to do. of course, p/c has greater disparity in their height and frame so they can get away with a lot of dragging, hauling and open holds. and that makes them look like they're "flowing". they'll never have the masterful versatility, technique, precision and total artistry of v/m
zilam98 That's a good analysis! I'm no expert but I thought the French skaters were oversored quite a bit for their short program. I do like them but they seem to be a bit one-dimensional. Canadians have way more versatility.
Zilam98 AMEN TO YOU AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!
zilam98 as you can see from the public no-one cares about how virtue and moir won from their technical. the french were so much more beautiful in their performance than the canadians and that's fact.
Tessa and Scott seem like very nice, very kind people.
AW THE SHIB SIBS AND TESSA+SCOTTS INTERACTIONS WERE SO NICE TO WATCH its really nice when you watch good sportsmen unline the french but oh well
Come on Shib Shibs! Your next to win a gold🥇!!!
The Shibsibs look so cute!
Love Maia and Alex so much
The French team can sometimes lack some polite manners. They forgot to congratulate the Shibs.
The French team are actually featured in a few Shib Sibs vlogs. They feature them on camera quite a bit and they seem pretty nice!
What difference would it have made between the shibs and the other american team?
their niceness is fake. they often come off with such elitist arrogance as if their lyrical style is the only true artistic ice dance and that everyone else, including v/m, is beneath them
The Canadian team lacks some polite manners. You have to congratulate during the medal ceremony, not for the flower ceremony. Congratulation during this minor ceremony is a patronizing attitude.
Look at the canadian team with Tessa & Scott during the Figure Skating Team Flower Ceremony
ua-cam.com/video/YpdvktP0nQ4/v-deo.html
They don't congratulate the others teams and it is OK.
yea, I don't know why they're so snob like that
Papadakis and Cizeron... They're great! They got an amazing talent... And their technique was perfect.
But... In Tessa and Scott, even I (an amateur to figure skating world) could see a connection, an enjoyment, and feelings. They're talented and everything just like Papadakis and Cizeron but their dance is just... hhh I don't know how to explain it but it's like they perform because they wanna perform and love to perform, not only because they want to win the competition.
I'm not saying that Papadakis and Cizeron just wanna win the competition and not enjoying their own performance, and Tessa and Scott didn't wanna win the competition and just wanna enjoy their performance.
But arrgh... you know what I mean.
Tisa I think part of it is that V/M are more experienced and comfortable performing on an international stage as big as the Olympics. This is P/C's first Olympics, and both of them are still very young. I think they'll continue to mature in the coming years, and they'll be serious gold contenders in Beijing.
MC Wyman Can't wait to see them grow and be a lot better 😊
I don't agree. V/M won their first Olympics 8 years ago when Tessa was even younger than Gabriella. It's about charisma and the Canadians swim in it.
@MC Wyman - I just want to point out that Tessa's and Scott's first Olympics in 2010 was against teams "more experienced and comfortable performing on an international stage as big as the Olympics.", and they won gold - and at ages younger than P/C at their first Olympics.
Virtue and Moir do it for fun and because they want to.
Papadakis and Cizeron seem like they just do it for the medals.
I'm just happy for the Shibssibs and Tessa and Scott here 💜♥️♥️ love that they supported each other. Shibssibs are my fav ice skaters ❄️💜
Shibssibs are honestly just good and humble people, they warm my heart ♥️
That's one beautiful and skilled podium line up. Amazing job to the skaters, they deserve it
Ok yes I'm a devout tessa and scott fan but I swear, it looks like he was gonna pull her in for a kiss or something close right after they announced Canada in first. He leaned in and it looked like she pulled away last minute. Maybe they're just friends but this year has been an odd one for them with regards to their connection
Kate What do you mean by odd?
andra749 their connection this year has been more romantic in my opinion than last year. They've had a lot of interesting moments in interviews and competitions that seem different than in other years in terms of their personal relationships to eachother. Sorry I probably could've found a better word for it but this is more what I meant
Kate I actually thought the same....instead he rubbed her back arm neck...none of the other couples did that! He really loves her! 👍💞🇨🇦 please get married...Canada's Sweethearts!💕
RIGHT?? I was thinking the exact same!
Kate I see. I don't have anything against your choice of words, I just never followed them off-ice so I always assumed they are just friends skating together.
Congrats To Maia & Alex! They are loving and wonderful people & Skaters. I’m kinda upset that the Shibsibs places 3rd and not 2nd, But they deserved it and I’m happy for them! :)
So proud of shibsibs ❤️
Some more clips on their way. We have one of their warm-up prior to the short program: ua-cam.com/video/5Kk8XZ28mQE/v-deo.html
We also now have their warm-up before the free dance: ua-cam.com/video/Annl1iloKq8/v-deo.html
Esse casal é maravilhoso, Tessa and Scott
Anyone who saw how Moir was awkwardly joining the hug of T and the red guy? So cute.
Virtue Moir having great manner as both hugging the other winner, while french is so snob
thank you!! I couldn't find this the last few days.
The French were not ready to win. They got huge sympathy points in the short for dress slip....their free dance is good, very good but it wasn’t exceptional which Virtue and Moir were. they didn’t deserve to win .....if they think they got robbed because of the dress they are completely wrong. If they don’t understand timing in Ice Dancing they are in the wrong sport...for years Ice Dancing has been a waiting game ....and couples slowly move up as the best retire...I don’t agree with it but the French are young and will have ten years of winning gold now. I think they were gracious to Virtue and Moir. I think in the moment they were just upset at not winning....at least they weren’t as bad as the Canadian women Hockey team at getting Silver....now that was embarrassing as a Canadian. the Shibutanis were very very good and I just hope that being siblings in a facet of Ice Dancing that relies on chemistry between a couple isn’t something that keeps them from winning. They have the best twizzles in the game and are incredibly strong. I also think Hubble and Donahue were extremely strong as well and the USA should be very proud of it’s incredibly strong Ice Dance teams.
Their damn fault. Make sure your equipment is solid, wardrobe included.
You think your troll V/M won the first Olympic gold is on their old retire age? Oh, I forgot, 2010, that was in Canada, scandal troll! You know nothing about ice dance, P/C’s program beat V/M the whole season, without wardrobe malfunction, they were definitely Olympic Champions.
French couple overrated. Did not receive deduction for wardrobe malfunction. Not the greatest changes of hold. Poor sports. Think they are better than what they are. Shibs should have had silver.
Gabriella hung on to Scott for so long at 3:26
Mira H Yes I noticed that too, and in my head I was just like, what the heck are you doing???
Probably trying to make Tessa jealous.
Trying To confort Gabriella
She was extremely sad. They trained together and probably have à kind of friendship. Scott is very nice men. Canadian pair went through very hard moments too.
Call it compassion
OMG stop being mean some of you! I am proud of them all! What they have done...is nothing we could have!
Ha! YKC, this just popped up on my feed since I’ve been searching for all the Virtue and Moir videos as of late. Thanks for taping and posting. :-)
Also check out: ua-cam.com/video/VQ09oOkSw_c/v-deo.html
Thanks for posting this!!!
They really do love each other! 🇨🇦❤👍congrats to Tessa and Scott ....now PLEASE get married we're all waiting for you to finish the LOVE STORY!
eu amo eles avisa
honestly, I think the French just naturally have rbf, both of them. I don't think they were being petty, if you look at them from before they competed they have the same expressions. Do they need to work on that, yes, but I don't think they were being bad sports. I also don't think it's fair for everyone to sit here and say that Scott and Tessa were bad sports four years ago, they weren't, they were frustrated with their coach, understandably, just like any of us would be. So every one calm down, and try to be more understanding :)
well said!
yeah, if it's the french, it's a "cultural" thing. if it were north americans, it's an "attitude" thing right? only the north americans are sore losers, the french can never be sore losers ;)
zilam98 omg i see you in every single comment won’t you just shut up? the french have every right not to put on a fake smile if they don’t want to, this is not a lack of sportmanship, what would be is saying bad things about the others which they never did
i don’t know if a french ever hurt your family but man seems like you’re the petty one here
shut up? i'm gonna annoy you more by saying that the french and their fans always have elitist arrogance that everyone else is beneath them. that's the air that p/c put on even when they try to explain their program choices, that theirs is the "only" truly artistic style of ice dancing, and that everyone else is beneath them.
+Julianna Lou and the more i'll be in EACH AND EVERY COMMENT just to annoy you more ;)
The French LMAOO
Gabrielle has a little crushie on Scott... see 3:27. A bit long of a hug and a neck stroke hehehe....................
People really need to be more considerate. These athletes have worked so hard for the Olympic and they have all the rights to feel upset when things like wardrobe malfunction prevented them from doing their best. I don't understand why some people always expect the athletes to act happy all the time.
not to be happy.. to be simply polite... Is it to much to demand????
it's not like you have the right to demand them to do anything anyway
definitely want to know what the Shib Sibs were saying while the camera was on them lol
mollymiccee same 😂😂
Beautiful ❤😍😘❤😍
I only came for Maia and alex
Why the French team didn't congratulate with shibsibs.....? They are so rude.
Thank you for posting this!
By the way, when do they get the actual medals? Did that come after?
Yes, they received the actual medals later that evening at a different site.
is there a video of the actual medal ceremonies? NBC didn't show them, as far as I could tell.
The medal ceremonies (most of them) take place at a different venue at PyeongChang Olympic Plaza, so those clips are likely - hopefully elsewhere online. Didn't attend, which is why we don't have them on our channel. If you do find a link to a clip, post it here :)
I think they did show it but it was around the time when every one was asleep lol, like 5am or something.
Download the NBC Sports app or go to www.nbcolympics.com and search for the Day 11 medal ceremonies. On the app, it's about an hour in or so.
The French didn’t thank anyone what sore losers 2nd place isn’t even bad.
french team not popular with audience, got the fewest cheers, even less than the shibutanis who ranked beneath them. can't say i blame them. P/C overrated.
Had you watch the world championship in Milan last weekend ???....sincerely .....the public was so diferent ....so fair-play ...so pleasant and nice .....not the case for these olympic games .....and also the winners PC+HD+WP are friendly together ......is not the case for these JO ....
French team is arrogant not showing their sportmentorship to others as team Canada and USA did.
Jean merdeMonreal - ok psychic bitter bitch time for your meds
Jean merdeMonreal - still roaming around heifer?
Not arrogant , sad .....
now had you watch the world championship in Milan ( Italy ) this weekend, the public was so diferent than for JO ....so nice and pleasant ...and the winneres PC+HD+WP very friendly together ....it's better in the live to keep some retreat .........
why didn't p/c congratulate the shibsibs?
I mean *of all time and not at all times hahaha...i am sorry...typographical error
Wait they don't have medals now?
Hey does anyone know where i can watch their winning performance?
The Olympics official youtube channel has the video!
Whats the song thats playing when tessa and scott were entering? Thank you :)
Margarida Ribeiro a from Moulin Rouge ROXANNE
SMITTY Thanks 😊
Do they only get bears and not medals this year?
Do you know where we can see the Flag, and O Canada play?
The medal ceremonies (most of them) take place at a different venue at PyeongChang Olympic Plaza, so those clips are likely elsewhere online. Didn't attend, which is why we don't have them on our channel.

those french were salty af
french bashing is so easy !!!!
@@manick4707 because the French make it easy with their behavior.
You are all so judgy in the comments :p you wasn't there, they may have congratulated each other earlier.
나이스평창
Wheres the medals???
Geraldine M there a separate ceremony for that
Yehet Sweg separate ceremony?
shakti rani there was a separate ceremony for that, you can already find the video anywhere just search for it lol
Download the NBC Sports app or go to www.nbcolympics.com and search for the Day 11 medal ceremonies. On the app, it's about an hour in or so.
If
Not to be rude but that France dude has a long neck
He really does! I couldn't stop noticing how long it was when I was watching the program.
It's because of his plunging neckline where he is trying to look like a cheap gigalo on ice.
Well, this logic was already demonstrated in Ballroom e Youkoso; your skill level tends to correlate to neck length.
It's from trying to look down her top and find cleavage!!!
I’m confused,why teddy bears and no gold medals?
As stated in the description, this is the Venue Ceremony and not the Medal Ceremony.
Forgive my ignorance please, but don't they get medals?
There was a separate ceremony where all the victors of all the disciplines that day get their medals :)
Shouldt they win medals not stuffed toys ??
The actual medal ceremony took place later that evening at a different site.
nomnom xxx Yeah. I don't like that they have to postpone the medal ceremony and be presented the medals in their coats. Lol. The medal would like nicer with their costumes...
why you guys hate french so much??
because they are so elitist and arrogant in that their style is the only truly artistic one and that everyone is beneath them, including the olympic champs. hence, you can see that on their faces ever since v/m won gold. yeah, they're being honest, yeah. but if scott says something honest, he's being a douchebag. sportsmanship goes both ways
Papadakis and Cizeron are regal.
日系アメリカ人て言うけどよ、日本人の体つきじゃないんだよなお兄ちゃんの方は
Merci la juge canadienne... Le couple français méritait largement la médaille d'or olympique
.Merci to the corrupt triky and disonest President of French Skating Federation, a fellow named Didier Gailhaguet P/C , two average and highly overrated skates, have beeing supposed to be the best since 2015... after jumping from 13th ranking position to first one in less then 1 year (do they skate or practise long jump??) How it is possible that in only 8 months all the couples ranked from 1st to 12th positions got worse? All together at the same time????? Do you know who is Didier Gailhaguet and what he did??? Read here from Wikipedia "Gailhaguet was a central figure in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal, in which French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne said that she had judged wrongly in the pairs competition under pressure from Gailhaguet, who was at that time the president of the French federation. Witnesses of Le Gougne's statement were Sally-Anne Stapleford (Great Britain), Britta Lindgren (Sweden), Walburga Grimm (Germany) and Jon Jackson (USA). Gailhaguet's chauffeur in Salt Lake City additionally testified to having overheard evidence of his involvement on the scandal". So simply SHUT UP.
zilam98
your pleasure is just the french bashing !!!
always and always your comments are hateful and P/C just a prestext to tell your hatred of our country !!! shame on you !!
Leanna Caron, the president of Skate Canada, was selected to judge both programs in the ice dance competition. (Nine judges are randomly selected from a pool of 13 before each segment of the competition.) Both times she gave Virtue and Moir a score that was higher than the average of the other judges on the panel.
And both times, she scored the French team lower than any other judge.
After the competition, BuzzFeed News calculated what would have happened if the Canadian and French judges’ scores were all replaced by those of an “average” judge. In that scenario, Papadakis and Cizeron would have won the gold medal by 0.39 points.
BuzzFeed News also calculated what would have happened if the scores of the French and Canadian judges were simply removed. In that scenario, there would have been only seven judges on the short dance panel and only eight judges on the free dance panel. In this analysis, too, Papadakis and Cizeron would have passed Virtue and Moir for the gold medal, in this case by 0.46 points.
V/M produced two perfect performances, P/C did not. There's nothing to be said once you acknowledge that.
Buzzfeed also published the following,
“Sometimes you’re on a panel where five or six people have agreed to what they’re going to do and what range they’re going to mark and how they’re going to go after a team,” explained another judge. In those cases, she said, someone who does not participate in that collusion, and whose scores therefore do not align with the others on the panel, “can look like they’re biased when in fact they are not.” That would certainly explain P/Cs grossly inflated SD scores compared to what they put out.
And don't forget that P/C had at least three judges backing them up exclusively- the French, American and Turkish judges.
And did Buzzfeed calculate what the final result would have been had the French been given scores they actually deserved in the SD instead of the obviously inflated scores they did receive, both from the technical panel and the judges? There's no way that lift or the twizzles were level 4 and the PCS were higher than V/M. Absolutely ridiculous given the tentativeness of that skate by the French. Therein lies the real judging scandal. There was nothing wrong with the Canadian judge's scores - the Japanese judge scored V/M higher than did the Cdn judge. The American judges all season long have low balled V/M. At the GPF, the American judge had V/M in 5th! V/M skated two perfect programs at the Olympics and the French did not. The French should have been in 4th or 5th after the SD. Hopefully in the next 4 years, the French can learn to bring some variety into what they do and stop doing the same damn stuff every year.
Richard Murray the only thing we know is in the next 4 years, the trolls like you will be gone with the V/M together!
The French, Russian and Turkish judges gave the Canadians lower scores than the average for the panel, and to the French higher, much higher. And don't forget how the skating judging scandal all started, with a French judge in 2002. The French have a proven track record of result fixing and influence peddling. Alongside their russki cronies.
Hey genius, in the new scoring system, the highest and lowest marks are thrown out mainly because of the Russian, American and French federations playing politics, often fucking over Canada. The French fans who come around once every 30 years when they have a generational talent need to sit the fuck down and stop pretending to know what they're talking about. In 2014, V/M lost because the judges like W/D's "high energy style" compared to V/M's lyrical, intimate and technically skilled style and that's so say nothing of Sale and Pelletier the first ones in modern history to expose the corruption and revamp the system (again). The innovator of a bloody compulsory element in the old dance format tweeted about 2014's whack judging for ice dance, and the most decorating skating coach ever Tarasova has given V/m multiple standing ovations. I don't even need to drag that cantankerous cow, Papadakis that holds down Cizeron like a ball-and-chain to show you why V/M are the best ice dancers in modern skating history, bar none.
And if we're just talking about this event, P/C were not deducted for the costume malfunction and should not have been within 2 points of V/M in the short program.
4:31 She rolled her eyes while hearing "second place", wtf
