I think this is absolutely true for women, though it's a bit less the case for men. I like to joke that all of our toughest women go into pairs, but there is also something to that. One thing I will give Schizas is she is a bit more of a spitfire than the usual.

I think Schizas needs to pack it in and focus on school, let's be honest here. Canadian women may sink or swim for a few more cycles, but I don't think Madeline is holding the discipline up. I wouldn't miss her unevolved skating, even if other women place lower.

Without B&K, there isn't the same influence on the sport in Canada. There probably wouldn't be V&M, W&P, G&P, etc. etc. Wilson & McCall competed at such a different time, against such titans and the sport was so incredibly different. But I tend to find Tracey's influence as a commentator and...

I'm sure it was extremely hard for Trennt to leave his longterm partnership. 2022 was a tough year for him, Evelyn, most of our pair teams. But partnering with Lia was such a great choice! She was clearly a star from their first year. Every program from them, I've enjoyed but also just wanted...

Schizas wouldn't been so maddening if Canada had more talent behind her. While it's not the dire days of the '90s, it hasn't been a hopeful discipline for Canadian skating since Osmond retired. Here's hoping that changes this quad. The lack of real competition in Canada hasn't been helpful to...

It's great to see him look pleased out there. (I don't know if happiness is something Gogolev experiences? ;) ) The laces being unpinned were dicey to watch at the end. Good on him.

I'll go burn Palo Santo and incense to clear that energy out. My bad. ;)

I love this goddamn discipline. I can't wait for worlds chaos. R&A on the podium? Do FB&C crash out and we wind up with Z&K as world champs, with dune in silver? The insane possibilities are endless!

:lol: :rofl: @my little pony you're not paid enough for this gold.

I still have no idea who his girlfriend is, but I don't know if it matters if she's unqualified. Strikes me as creating a toxic work environment for his ex-wife, and a tense environment for the skaters training.

And early - he's not even 40!!! While I'm an unendingly curious person, I'm not sure I want to know what made Charlie turn heel so dramatically.

I never expected anything like this, the marital rumours or an ego, from Charlie White. He has literally been the human form of a golden retriever in many ways. I figured Meryl was the darker/more interesting half of that partnership. I find myself impressed almost. Maybe Ben Agosto would be...

God Bless Ice Dance for always keeping it interesting.

Extremely kind of Piper and Paul to go to worlds and help Canada keep 2-3 spots.

Super minor note - but Brad Bradford is running for Toronto mayor. This is part of his campaign as much as anything is. Honestly strange choice for Tessa, but... shrug
