With all the interest in the identity of Gracie's rapist, I'm surprised one of you hasn't started a poll in the Trash Can. I think her book has lit a fire under some of the people in power and they'll be checking into why this investigation stalled. Gracie herself never found the courage to...

Perhaps Gracie is honoring Kendra's choice not to be in the book.

It's great that Gracie has a manager that is getting her and her book so much press. Hopefully, the book will set off a movement to make parents and coaches more aware of abuse (mentally and physically) that can happen in any sports situation (or any youth organization). Even in my very rural...

1. Stay together!! It takes most teams 8-10 years to achieve much of anything. Caroline and Michael started out on a fast track because they had the same coaches and training style growing up. That rarely happens. So now they are in a little slump and have to regroup (happened to Car-Pon...

I was in the arena and thought Friday night for the Women was the biggest crowd. All events on the weekend were very well attended. The Gala had the least attendance. There were so many open seats on the judges side because the high stand for the technical panel and announcers, etc blocks or...

Finished reading Gracie’s book Outofshapeworthlesslooser on the plane ride from Nationals. I was lucky enough to win a copy in a drawing when she gave a talk at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (a gorgeous facility!) The book will be released February 6 and would be worth a discussion thread in...

Why is everyone so quick to have a team change coaches? Highs and lows are to be expected from a relatively new team (Gr/Pa have only 4 seasons together). MIDA is on a learning curve too. Hopefully MIDA and Caroline and Michael will reach out to outside sources for help with developing better...

Thoughts after a night's sleep: The energy in the arena was electric for every couple starting with Flores and new partner and the 80's music theme did it's job! Boo on the judges for inflating the scores significantly above what these teams would have earned internationally. Those who...

What a wonderful set of events and ice skating related exhibits and books the Columbus Library has organized in honor of the National Championships! I hope to find the time to visit this library and maybe try out the "sock skating rink". What a fun idea for kids of all ages!

Very few promising teams stay together past juniors from any figure skating school. Growth spurts, love interests, college ambitions, career goals, and coaches leaving to start their own schools --all get in the way! Wheaton coaches (and Mida coaches) are on a steep learning curve as their...

Ice dancers are such diehards! Good for them! They'll all be exhausted together.

So glad to see so many of the men "improve" their skates today! Does anyone else have the overwhelming desire to YouTube the Shibutani's 2016 Worlds performance of Fix You after watching Mateo's long program?
