RIP Papa Francesco. 😢 Truly a modern day St Francis, in addition to being humble and focused on the poor and less fortunate, he was an environmentalist. Would that the world would heed his encyclical Laudato Sí.

I was critical of prioritizing Jason when he was struggling and having difficult managing a 3A and a 3/3 combo, which to me are core requirements for a senior-level man, but his axel and combos are back, and combined with his other skills, it's more than enough to make him very competitive, even...

I see Mama Malinina stayed away today.

Well it's been a long season and it shows on just about everyone.

This may be my favorite costume of all the men.

Kind of like if you put your shovels away it's guaranteed to snow? ;)

They’ve already had it in November twice without issue. 🤷‍♀️

It might not help but I don't know that it's a hindrance, either. Rudy Galindo, Kostner, Weir, Wagner - all clockwise rotators.

They typically have a ceremony in a publicly accessible location, usually some type of outdoor plaza near the arena. For the most recent Worlds, it was right in front of the main entrance to the TD Garden.

They’ve done this before in Olympic years. In fact, I think when it was in Lake Placid in 2009 it was a later GP.

Per Wikipedia, the capacity at TD Garden for ice hockey is 17,850. For figure skating it’s less than that due to K&C and all the seat kills for TV and the judges, so I think the max would be 17K if that much. But also there were 9 events if you count the gala.

There were so many magical moments and outstanding performances but probably my top two are: - Alysa Liu bringing down the house. Did.not.see.that.coming. She skated like she was dancing in her living room without a care in the world, and...what the hell? - Ilia Malinin's exhibition. It was...

Efimova and Mitrofanov represent The Skating Club of Boston. Of course they were going to be invited, especially considering they were the top-placed U.S. pair and are the reigning U.S. champs.

LOL I meant F-H/V. :slinkaway

For me, F-B/V won the night last night. They were fantastic.
