Just wondering if it was something Kaitlyn Weaver said during in interview which showed she was unhappy with VM’s return? Obvs she’s been overshadowed by them a lot and that’s sad but is there like a history of visible resentment between Weapo and VM? (I think I’m asking for a timeline pls help, thank you so much)
I mean they never said anything really bad but they were always really passive/agressive about it. Tessa & Scott said in interviews that they had called Weapo before announcing it on TV but Weapo said hearing the news made them perform badly at 4CC...Also a general attitude of Kaitlyn cheering for every member of team canada except VM.
Here’s a couple quotes when asked about VM:
From an article with Bev Smith
“Their comeback, it’s neither here nor there,’’ she continued. “It’s not involving us. But I’d be lying if I said I haven’t worked harder because of it. And that’s just the competitors in us. We’re natural competitors and I think that’s how we’ve made our career as successful as it has been so far.”
Weaver and Poje, who have won the two Canadian titles that Virtue and Moir missed by stepping aside for two years, haven’t gone head-to-head with the dance virtuosos this season yet. That will change next week at the Canadian championships in Ottawa.
“I’m not really concerned how our results will be against them,” Weaver said. “We’re still Kaitlyn and Andrew. People appreciate what we do, thankfully, and we love that they do. We bring something different than anybody else. And that’s because we’re us.
“They have no bearing on that, and will not be able to take that away from us.”
From a CBC interview:
So when Canadian teammates and Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir announced they were launching a comeback after two years away from ice dancing, Weaver and Poje took the news in stride.
"I think that it was a little bit of a shock, to be frank. I think that everybody could probably say that," Weaver said on a conference call Wednesday.
