Does this look like Chelsea and Ryan doing a quad throw? It’s very far away but I think I count four rotations. It’s an IG story so it will disappear.

It appears to be a quad for me. Let’s just see USFSA assign them nothing this year.

Sweetie, they got plenty of assignments last season, after a very short time together. They'll be just fine for assignments this coming season.

Not enough in my opinion, they could’ve placed second at the Olympics.

I don't care where in the world you are today, it's too early to be drinking so much booze that you're making delusional posts like this.

Tarah Kane is spearheading the pairs camp in Highlands Ranch, CO, on June 5-6. It is primarily for pair teams competing in the NQS, but single skaters (no partners) can apply and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

As do quadruple throw jumps.

Hopefully this means Danylo is trying out with some of the US women who already have citizenship & will be eligible for 2030 (presumably, given he's been in the US at least 2016 he should be well on his way to US citizenship already if he doesn't already have it).

Maybe Audrey??

Maybe Audrey??

Or maybe Starr? I believe she and Danylo used to date.

there should be a reality show of Starr picking her new partner between Luke, Balasz, Danylo. can we get an international skater in the mix to make it interesting?

Will a documentary suffice?

or maybe a skate guard

Yes, and they should have to sing a duet with Starr to see how well their voices blend so they can get started on recording their FS music ASAP.

Luke Wang has announced that he and Olivia Flores have made the mutual decision to end their partnership.

Very classy post from him!

An end of an era.

After much thought, Olivia and I have made the difficult decision to officially part ways and continue our skating & academic journeys on separate paths.

I’m incredibly grateful for everything we shared these last 4 years—both on and off the ice—and for the memories, growth, and experiences that came from our partnership.

I want to wish Olivia all the best and look forward to cheering her on in a different setting.

A huge thank you to our coaching team in Colorado, especially, for your constant guidance and belief in us. This last year, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without the relentless support of @natalia.mishkutenok and @eddieshipstad. Thank you for being my rock.

As always, thank you US Figure Skating for your support in our journey.

And to all of you who ‘Liv Laugh Luke’ed with us along the way—thank you. Your encouragement has meant more than I can put into words.

Excited for what’s ahead.

Mark Sandusky & Olivia Flores doing SBS 3sals and Audrey Shin doing throws with someone I do not recognize. Does anyone know who it is?

Here's an additional clip of Mark & Olivia as well as I believe Naomi Williams & Lachlan Lewer doing SBS throw doubles - https://www.instagram.com/p/DXNKKAbkVav/

surely the musical pairs have to settle soon? I'm intrigued to see how it all shakes out.

Not gonna lie, I really liked the look of Olivia & Mark on those SBS 3sals. The age gap at nearly 10 years is more than a lot of us will be happy with (though not as big as the one between Danny & Ellie, so there is that).

 

[PRlady]

Olivia and Mark are both short-ish and muscular, I kinda like that look, as opposed to Luke who’s in the slender side. As long as Mark now has nothing to do with Delilah.
