Those TES minimums for Women for Worlds got really high, imho too high. I get they don't want to have 40+ ladies competing in the SP but it looks like an overkill to me.

Did they all watch that program of Witt?! :eek:

Their infamous Original Dance though overshadowed them completely. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. But they were fantastic skaters anyway - especially in compulsories, if not for Shabalin's knee issues they'd have achieved more I reckon.

This decision makes little sense for me, a retirement after 1 international senior season, am I right? I am very disappointed and it's obviously a big loss for American figure skating. This made me sad. I get the impression that followed Alysa as we the spying drama etc. it is not shocking like...

He's boring though, only serves cliches and always butchers names of skaters that are not from the Anglosphere.

What happened to that thread?!

So which ones did you like more than Yagudin's? Those of Timothy Goebel in Salt Lake City? Don't make me laugh.

But eventually both pairs made it into the Olympics so I think this theory does not hold water.

Speaking of sharks. I would not mind a female skater skating to Jaw soundtrack. This dress would be a perfect costume to that!

I have rewatched it two weeks ago and it is still beautiful! Damn, her lines, artistry were actually exquisite there, and she gave two clean skates. People liked to marvel over Kwan and Cohen spirals but Sarah Hughes spiral sequence was breathtaking as well. I think the hate comes from a couple...

It boggles my mind why some many skaters especially in individual disciplines treat it as a throwaway element.

Where is Gubanova's training base set btw.?

You were not even impressed by that section of "Winter" where Yagudin does plenty of little steps on his toe picks perfectly matching the melody of the violin?! It was Alexei that made me want to start figure skating trainings as a kid albeit sadly the closest club to my home town was 200...

Speaking of which ... can anyone provide me an example of any skater skating to "Wuthering Heights"? Can be even out of exhibition. I don't recall anyone.
