Karen will succeed at Cornell and hopefully at skating next year, too. I have personal knowledge that Cornell is not as flexible in these types of situations as Yale is. Perhaps, though, Karen will be seen as an exceptional, exceptional student for them, and their approach will be modified so...

Agree. Not just females. It's a sport, and of course, skaters will partner hop for an advantage - even a perceived one. That's to be expected. It's not necessarily the movement or hopping that's problematic, rather the manner in which it is done. In other words, the general treatment of...

Two observations: 1. Eliana did not specify who sent or signed the email. Only that she received the news via email. 2. This whole process is a micro-incident, giving us a glimpse of why females in the skating world can feel so replaceable. Moments like this, or others that underscore...

I may be misunderstanding your question, but I think the list of competitions is up. See the links on the main page under this header - "2019-20 National Qualifying Series Competitions" NQS Singles Competitions NQS Pairs Competitions NQS Dance Competitions

I heard the same as @insideedgeua about Harris & Bye from an extremely reliable source who has seen them. I presume they'll represent Australia, too. Holly's certainly expressive, and it will be exciting for them to build some depth in the Australian Ice Dance field. Creative pairing idea for...

Must USFS list subs to replace a skater at a Challenge Series event? Or can assigned skaters be used as place holders if no subs are listed?

And I hear . . . All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word. . . . Kihira! :)

I vaguely recall that interview with Max, as well, but I recall it a bit differently. The concern about his size was not body fat related, but rather muscular composition. As in too much muscular bulk for his body type to successfully and consistently jump quads and create lines. A change in...

Not sure why . . . but this made me giggle. (could be the wine, too!) ;-)

Thrilled for Katie! Girl has put in the time to make an event like this happen. Good on her!

Well, yes, we could update, but that didn't mean the new information was actually used in every situation. I updated my account with a new, valid credit card during the appropriate window, yet received a notice today that the old CC was declined due to expiration date. GRRR. Super annoying!

Gosh! Super exciting that we are analyzing ice conditions, rotations, rink size, choreography in & out of a 3A by a 12 year old female from the US. Regardless of how Alysa's career rolls out, it's a great sign that she is upping the tech bar for all US up & comers. Really good stuff! Go get it...

TBH, I don't know if it would work either. Didn't really give it deep thought. (good effort on your part, though.) Simply a for fun, U of M fan, off-season comment.

Karen's been prepping for ACT/SAT, too. Maybe she'll attend U of M like Meryl. ;-)

Yes. Alex is in Chicago. But I totally had Philip Mills in So.Cal., but you certainly could be right about Chicago. (I really don't know.) Karen's brother is in Canton with Marina, right? Maybe she's considering a Marina / Alex thing.
