What section/end was the kiss and cry in 2017?

If Shaq is serious, he should relocate to Granite Club or Oakville and start training pairs basics with Lee or Bruno while he waits for a partner. He had weak elements with previous partners, but maybe with more dedicated training in a serious pair school he could make the most of his height and...

Excited to see more of Lubov. She CAN jump... was actually pretty consistent up to 2011. Here’s to hoping someone can help her regain her consistency (although I have doubts about Bruno’s camp for this... really wish Aljona would take them on!!!) https://youtu.be/NM64ZmtLp-Y

I’d rather not elaborate. If anyone else saw it (or watches TSL) they will know why I’m asking. I’m just curious if anyone knows how her training is going... I was hoping this would be Gabby’s year to shine now that Kaetlyn is gone, I hope the pressure of being Canada’s #1 is not getting to her ?

Did anyone else catch Gabby’s insta live a few days ago? Is she actively training? Her W/D from Japan Open due to “poor physical condition” was rather alarming, I hope she is doing ok, Canadian Ladies will sure have a rough year without her!

Sure Bardei looks fine (although the 3sal in this video is << :slinkaway), and yes their twist is gorgeous, I guess I was coming at this more from the guy's perspective. I think Drew Wolfe is the best male pair skater we have in Canada at the moment and I think he should be given a stronger...

I don't know, the future of Canadian pairs looks pretty rough right now... I get that these kids may all be very happy skating together, and that's awesome, but if the goal is to win World/Olympic medals I think sometimes you need to consider pulling an Aljona (or Charlie Biledeau, I suppose...

Looks like Purich has teamed up with Matthew den Boer, 4th in Junior Pairs at Canadians in 2017.

1. No chance Tara actually spoke with Eteri so freely. Maybe Johnny through his Russian connections, but Eteri isn't making time for Tara. 2. Alina was just excited to see McDonalds? That's an NBC storyline if I've every heard one. Take a look at this documentary where she reveals the pressure...

I just get the sense Dylan is tired/over it. Knowing how competitive he is, he likely stayed in post-KMT because he thought he could still climb the ranks in World pairs, but now the writing is on the wall that even if they were to make the Oly team, he and Lubov will finish lower than the 5th...

I HOPE UNCERTAINTY! This LP is terrible. They should go back to last year's, it was so beautiful, the judges handed out the points regardless of how poor the jumps were!

They got together for last season, but she sat out injured. She's gone through 4 partners in about 6 years...

:sekret: News coming out of AB sectionals... apparently Purich/Portz are done.

What's going on with Ingo Steuer? Is he still coaching in Florida? Or is it true he has gone back to Germany?

Has there been any official statement as to why they left Ingo/what happened to Ingo Steuer?
