    What’s your 1994 Olympics ice dance and pairs results?

    This puts some mistakes from that era into such a different context for me, even in that event. I mean, little slips happen, but a lot of top dance teams had them in that competition - K&P in the CD, B&S in the OSP, B&B in the FD. Not that there is a way to know other than to ask them and them...

    Something "kids" today wouldnt know about....

    This! Also I just want to give a huge shout out to Air China of 2018 I flew JFK-PEK [which was comfortable and had unlimited beverage and wine service mid aircraft], then overnight services expenses and services (shitty service by the bus driver, but otherwise decent hotel with kind staff and...

    ISU Provisional Allotments for 2024, 2025 and 2026

    Ryanair flies Dublin to Kaunas but not daily. Looks like Jan 7 and 10 are closest to Euros with 525 pm departures from Dublin. Inconvenient with a very long layover in Dublin and fewer traveloptions but if 1 stop is your priority from Washington in isn't impossible. Also Ryanair flies Madrid...

    Everything Pairs! Tarah Kayne on Polina Edmunds' podcast; discussing post-retirement transition challenges with Dylan Moscovitch

    I am glad to have listened to the interview with Dylan. It is the first time i have heard from someone with the world of skating intersecting with psychedelic healing. I have been in that world a long time and there are very good grounded folks in there and also inflated egos and power...

    2022-23 US Pairs Discussion - Second to None!

    Yes. I am wondering if they are considering keeping the door open for Milano, but yes clearly next season is not in the picture. If the Russians aren't back for Milano I could see them considering making a comeback if their hearts are in it.

    Was the 1999-2002 Period the Most Entertaining and Corrupt Period of Ice Dance?

    You're entitled to whatever narratives you wish to make here. However, as much as I love B&B's 1984 OSP they did make a mistake in it at Worlds and the judges marked them down for it. For the record, Blumberg & Seibert made major mistakes in every FD at worlds except 1983. That does produce an...

    The Johnny Weir Skating Academy?

    Would make so many happy! That's also a fabulously easy drive from Centerville for him. No need to deal with I95, and super easy for folks who do.

    Underused classical music

    Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to keep up the pace in the fast parts, but if some of the slower portions were focused on that would be lovely. BTW The American pairs of Lyons & Wells used the first for their free skate in 1997 IIRC. Doesn't seem to be on youtube, oddly enough, even though...

    2024 US Figure Skating Championships

    I would agree. And maybe then they would stop treating it like a Senior B event for singles :slinkaway

    The Johnny Weir Skating Academy?

    A group approach is just more affordable and I think could open that financial barrier of entry for more singles skaters to develop in the US. I wish Johnny well in his endeavor.
