    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    Someone posted that Kurt said he was planning to speak to Ilia ... and maybe Raf could arrange for him to talk with Michelle. IMO, she knows a lot about going to Olys under media glare as the overwhelming favorite (and how to cope with the loss)

    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    IIRC, she did in 1994 ... I think there was a special deadline to allow Michelle to skate if Tonya got arrested.

    Slutskaya complains about 2002 and 2006 Olympic Placements

    Maybe she wouldn't, but I wouldn't bet on her not doing it either. She had too many comebacks over too long a period (think also the Championship Series leading to the '96 Worlds and her FS in 1997 Worlds) to assume the contrary.

    Slutskaya complains about 2002 and 2006 Olympic Placements

    Agreed that she should have placed 1st in the SLC SP. However, Michelle Kwan had a great track record of coming back after being behind in the SP (think Worlds 2000, 2001) so the chances of everyone skating as they did in the FS are not good.

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    IIRC, during lockdown, Elizabeth sat alone at her husband's funeral, not near other family -- because that was the law that others were expected to obey.

    Help for those who SNAP benefits are stopped?

    Maybe, find out if any local stores donate stuff that is still good, but not really saleable .... and start publicizing the good ones who do donate (and ask those that don't if they might be willing to start). Our local TJ's donates (and has for years) ... and we make sure they know that the...
