If you weren’t part of our Olympics Chat over at Drinks With Broads yesterday, allow me to sum up, in the words of a Fellow Broad: STEP ON A LEGO, FRANCE.
In short: The French ice dancing team, thanks once again to some questionable scoring!!!!, barely BARELY BARELY edged the American team of Chock and Bates out of the gold medal. “Well, that’s how it goes,” I hear you saying, and yes, the French ice dancing judge making INSANE SCORING CHOICES is how it goes! Also: This French team is highly questionable. He was allegedly abusive to his former partner, and she (a Canadian suddenly skating for France this year) stood by her former partner after he was credibly accused of sexual assault. The short version of the gossip is that they are VERY talented and also everyone kinda hates them. (Adam Rippon has said they have “a sinister energy.”) They got a LOT of glares at the medal ceremony.
Anyway, let’s look at the costumes for the teams that finished in the top seven in ice dancing. (Yes, I went to seven so we could applaud the Brits.) Feel free to vent your spleen here — and if you’d like to get in on the live chat shenanigans, we’d having open chats every single day of the Olympics at Drinks With Broads for paid subscribers, who also (bonus) get access to our Heated Rivalry recaps.
