OK I have to ask, what was the Charlene drama? :eek:

It's not that I thought FB/C feel/think differently, but for a new team, and one that is aiming to win an Olympic gold medal, I would have thought they would be more media smart about it. The fact that they are so open with their support for Nik shows once again how few consequences there are...

It makes sense that Mark was asked to avoid mentioning the situation, and I understand why considering I would assume around 95% of the attendees at worlds and the audience at home never heard of the allegations. It would have been smarter to acknowledge the elephant in the room IMO, simply...

Have to say that while the top 4 skated well, it was the teams below them that I enjoyed the most, Lajoie/Lagha and Carreira/Ponomarenko especially. Mrazeks and L/Q were also super impressive for starting out of juniors teams, their FD performance were also highlights. Was interesting to see...

I think without the twizzles error they would have scored 2-2.5 points higher which is good but considering how European teams scored at Euros is still not good enough. I think for me the concern is that if USFS won't push them at worlds, US will lose their 3rd spot and CPom will take the heat...

Have to say, looking at the list of participants at Skate America, that's a short list of skaters that likely fall under that category (that being said Skate America is not the only possible relevant occurrence).

There have been many stories and even photos from parties that involved underage skaters and no doubt also included drinking and god knows what else. I remember seeing photos of V/M and D/W at a costume party when they were 17-19 and those photos had a distinct vibe. I always wondered how it...

I think it states she was 21 when the attack happened (2016/17 season) Safe Sport investigates regardless of the identity of the attacker, right? At first, I took the quote to mean it was a US skater but reading again it can be any skater and Safe Sport would still investigate given the...

Congratulations, but wow she's unidentifiable...

This is horrible (and I agree it's very reminiscent of what Virtue/Moir experienced) I will say though that it sounds like a lot of the stalking and disturbing behavior that led to this came from his fans, which means his poor wife got a similar treatment to that many of his rivals (or at least...

I really hoped the music change would improve G/F's RD but I'm afraid it's still not it for me. The combination of "Holding on for a Hero" and "Against All Odds" is puzzling (and why edit "against all odds" to repeat the same line three times in a row, especially when they use it for barely a...

Make it three weeks in a row. How anyone watched Davis/Smolkin and deemed that RD was worth over 77 points is a mystery to me. I also tend to think Lajoie/Lagha are injured (at least she is), their speed was lacking, their lift is their go-to junior rotational lift (they have way better lifts in...

The US judge put M/S 4.5 points above C/P so I'll go with shockingly low

It's the second week in a row of beyond questionable ice dance judging, if this trend continues this will be an interesting (and more frustrating than usual) season...

I'm usually ok with Fear/Gibson's style of skating and the niche they found for themselves, but this Rocky FD is where I think they went too far with the gimmick, this is really bad IMO and the choregraphic step sequence is embarrassing. I wish they would have done something better because...
