I wonder if this is smoke signal that P&C aren’t returning. I haven’t thought they would.

Ack, you're right, I skimmed Wikipedia too quickly.

Well, in Kao Miura's situation, it was a strategic decision by the Japanese skating federation to spread out their top men among the various championships.I'm sure he'd rather have gone to senior World's that year. And didn't Ilia compete in both Jr (won) and Sr Worlds (4th) in 2022? US Figure...

I’m not completely surprised. He’s accomplished a lot and Adam and Ilia have tech that he can’t compete with. I will treasure getting to see him skate in Anaheim at the 4CCs!

Hmmm. I didn't see anything explicit posted about the music needing to have originated in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I took the note about remixes as a clarification about new versions, not that it limited newer music, for example a new piece that is swing music. Maybe this is more clearly...

As I read the rules, the music doesn’t have to come from the period, as long as the music fits the dance style. Am I misreading something?

So will we get music from Hairspray? Seems like it would work.

Reminder that this isn't just for figure skating - it includes speed skating, short track, synchro, etc.

Aw. Still remember volunteering at 1999 Nationals during practice sessions and having Mr Nicks very politely asking me to ask Sasha to come out of the locker room. A gentleman!

If you search in American Classic on YouTube you can see some excellent fancam coverage.

I’m enjoying Franklin on Apple+. Michael Douglas is the right age to play the part and is effectively roguish. Plus amazing costumes and scenes at Versailles!

So smart of his agent to post the whole show online! That's a way to get new fans.

Trying to keep envy at bay -- and I'm losing!

Alysa just posted a clip of her doing 3Lutz-Euler-3sal: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C54d617vyfi/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==

She did a triple flip in that clip, didn’t she?
