kateanderson | two time world champions

It's completely bizarre that ice dance is the first discipline to award medals. I feel like the gala should be happening now and not in two days. We'll get to see them skate a new exhibition program as World Champions. (eeeee!)

So, it happened. I was oddly zen about the whole thing. I timed my break at work yesterday to coincide with when Tessa/Scott would be skating their short dance and stood outside, refreshing the ISU page on my phone. When they came up as leaders, I ran back inside, ditched the phone, shut myself in a room with no cameras and did a happy dance. When I got home, I watched a good portion of the top dancers and Tessa and Scott were, no question, the best.

I was much more nervous before the 4CC free dance than I was today. My heart was still pounding but I'd already seen Davis and White skate and their score wasn't unbeatable. I feel weird saying this but I wish that Tessa and Scott had scored lower than they did. I wish it had been closer. They didn't skate their best and it wasn't as magical as I had been hoping for. Even they didn't look entirely pleased.

But, they are now two time world champions. If they continue next season, they're going in to Worlds in their hometown as the defending champions. No pressure or anything! I hope they'll stick around. I've been watching their old programs a lot recently and I'd love to see them try something along the lines of Great Gig now that Tess is healthy.
