I saw that on his IG and wondered what he was doing. It was just a photo. No explanation of what he was doing with them. Anyone know?

For those of you have been waiting to see the christening of Christina's and Isabeau's plants at the Olympics, the video has arrived. :lol: Anthony performed the ceremony. Grandfather Adam was present by video. Godmother Alysa was present in spirit. Team Isabeau Levito 💌 on Instagram: "The...

Again, it would be a leap in logic to conclude that going to the first Olympics is what caused the gold medal at the second Olympics. (I'll bet you could find plenty of skaters who skated at two Olympics and did not win gold at their second one.) It seems much more likely that these skaters you...

Yes, but it's a logical leap to assume that it was their experience at the first Olympics that was the reason for their success at the second Olympics. The men tend to be better skaters by the time they get to their second Olympics. (This absolutely would have been true for Ilia. Ilia was not...

I don't think she does care. And that's part of her appeal for some people. Also, some people really like her looks. I had been showing my teen niece the pictures of her changing hair. My niece loved the hair. She generally has no interest in skating, but skating was the only sport she...

He posted on IG last week that he was planning to go to Worlds, but he could change his mind.

The last leg of Isabeau's flight home from Milan was canceled due to snow and she got stuck in Atlanta. So, she found a place to skate: https://www.instagram.com/stories/fanpage_isabeau_levito/

Yes. And possibly in meetings even on days when she did not do commentary. Like I said, it was theoretically possible. Also, he's very experienced and disciplined. He posts about his workouts and cross-training (and very routine healthy meals) even when he is on the road. It's not like he...

Of course they do. But, he didn't even use one at all. More significantly, I think the idea that Ilia would have been fine if only he had gone to a previously Olympics ignores the scope of what he was dealing with in Milan. I think he's likely to withdraw as well. I think he did post one...

It wouldn't have been the same. Ilia would not have been in the TE. He also would not have had the media and sponsor responsibilities. More importantly, he would not have had the expectations and pressure. Ilia was promoted as the most likely American gold medalist and was one of the biggest...

My guess is that Alysa is going to be spotted a lot, especially with her hair. I think I probably would just leave her alone if I saw her. I once was on a flight with a bunch of Russian skaters and was seated right next to Tamara Moskvina. I couldn't bring myself to say a single word. I...

I'll take the Alysa Liu of today over thirteen year-old Alysa. There's more to figure skating than those jumps. I doubt that Alysa cares one bit about what Zhulin thinks. And I never enjoyed the rest of Valieva's skating, even putting aside what helped make the jumps possible.

Nathan very tactfully discusses his mother in his book. She had no background in figure skating but was intensely involved with his skating and very controlling. Reading his book, I thought that there was no way that I would have wanted any child to have his childhood even if they were...

The end of one plant saga and perhaps the beginning of another? https://www.instagram.com/p/DVEQsx3iFsM/ Adam was (virtually) present for the christening, with Anthony officiating, but Isabeau has been too busy to edit and post it. Isabeau is soaking in the Village while she can, this time...
