Can someone please change this thread title to: Who Wants to Lift Forever? Thank you, I feel better now.

For years I’ve been waiting for a romantic pair team or ice dancers to use the Neville Brother “Fearless.” “We must be strong and fearless…” It has a couple of builds that would be great for lifts or other highlights...

Any reasoned estimate of when tickets will go on sale? Days, weeks, months?

I am going by god! Just reserved at the Devlin.

Anybody have an accurate idea when the decision will be made? Hoping hard for LP.

Contrary to almost everyone else, Lake Placid is the only competition location that can interest me. Gorgeous easy drive from southern Vermont. Reasonable hotel rates, walkable village, appealing arena. If SA isn’t there, I’ll go to the LP Ice Dance championships at end July.

I’m an ENORMOUS fan of Mr. Ma! Thanks, Jimmy, for staying in the game long enough for us to get to know you. We already loved you! Congrats on your success at 4Cs!

Thanks as always, Sylvia.

I attended the delightful US International Figure Skating Classic in Lake Placid last September. It was a strange but lovely amalgam of early season top level international competition, concurrent with a US novice and junior competition. I’d really like to go again, but I can’t find it on any...

Really thoughtful informed article. There’s hope that our sport can and will evolve.

Tanith White is the best commentator I’ve ever heard. So good at a rapid summary of a competitor’s recent results, precise pronunciation, explication of esoteric fine points of performance and scoring. Gracious and good humored with her fellow commentators. Brainy, humane, communicative, and...
