Anna Maria Tragikova approves this message.

I liked it better when the drama and politiks was isolated to the judging.

Do you think Shcherbakova's ********* ***** mask will also change color during the middle of her routine?

Yuzuru is a big boy, and can clean up his own Poohs.

Given that I loved Calabria back in my clubbing days, I now like Tuktamysheva that much more.

I know he didn't win, but there are probably a few coaches out there that wish they bottled what Yuzuru has so the coach could force feed it to his whole team.

Zagitova got dumped. All the carrots were probably accurate, but she should have gotten them before so it was not so unceremonious.

Oh, Pooh?

Zagitova's LP at 2019 NHK was beautiful.

The King of Pooh . . . Take a whiff.

Maybe to take down Eteri, TAT and Mishin will push for a new competition phase where skaters do these:

Shcherbakova is my favorite to watch from Eteri's group.

The title of Zagitova's 2019-20 LP is "The Feeling Begins in Salome".

Only Yuzuru has a higher TES Base than Trusova in the 2019-20 Senior Grand Prix.

Trusova deserved to win but she does not have nearly the PCS quality Lipnitskaya had at the same age at Skate Canada 2013.

How do I quit you, FSU?

Liza's knee was inside the circle when she picked the 3F in the SP at Finlandia 2019! No way that was a wrong edge, "technical idiots"!

Weird skating crossover https://youtu.be/C60t16rzg3Q

My heart goes out to Paris and 8.5 centuries of French history.

I love that Tuktamysheva is doing ALL the triples!

Liu does 4F. https://youtu.be/ctD2WeKzQwo

The podium is fine, but the 2019 World Ladies LP placement order and scores look cleverly crafted by design.

Yuzuru was just better in the 2019 World SP, and no two revolutions can change that. Nathan's caravan is meh.

There is something very chaotic about the sport right now, which is difficult to watch when skating was an escape for me. Some skaters are doing so well while others are not. Some are too good to retire, but feeling it is their time. Others are rising and falling.

I heard her dad is a big wig, and that is all I have to say about that.

Every time I now watch a Michelle Kwan program from the 1996-97 season I notice the severity of her misaligned right blade.

Liza got a GPF Bronze, like I thought was possible after the Russian Test Skate. I admit I was blindsided by Kihira's rise, but she is earning it.

I bet Mishin never thought he would have two Russian females in the GPF at the same time with a 5 year age gap between them ... So much for only being good for building railroads in Siberia ...

ESPN did a 30 for 30 on the Miracle On Ice ("Of Miracles and Men"), and, dang, TAT was all over it.

Yuzuru takes the ice, the camera pans to the, almost Russian in stateliness, Oligarch of figure skating, Brian Orser, then his prize pupil puts on a raw powerful dominant performance with ease to an iconic piece from Russian skating.
