The Sherlock program would have been my #6! I also liked it a lot and was entertained by the storyline. When I saw Ilia and Isabeau in the 2023 SOI tour, I was already swayed by their youthful charm and charisma. I love how they've grown. Keegan's speed absolutely put him in Practice Group 2...

Cross-posting from GoldenSkate: I went to the San Jose show last weekend. It was great! My friend and I had a lot of fun. It felt way more high-energy than in 2023 with a much better choice of theme. For the last SOI in 2023, we had a lot more retired or semi-retired skaters to fill in the...

Literally 22+ minutes of Ilia leading practice and instructing at Kinoshita Academy: Fascinating! I could see him as a coach after his competitive skating career is done.

I'd love for it to come to the Bay Area with local girl Alysa Liu headlining along with Ilia, Chock/Bates, etc.

I'm not sure where you're getting these numbers. The NBC YouTube video of her FS has 2.6 million views, and the ISU video has 170k views. Still great, but not as high as that.

Segment about all three wins: Ilia and Alysa:

Wasn't sure which of the US team threads to post this, but Ilia, Alysa, and Chock/Bates will all be on the Today Show this morning.

I was shocked at that performance. I was crying with him at the end. He's already one of the technical GOATs, but I didn't know he was capable of something like this. That emotion and the way it built was on a different level. Everything was exquisite. His Worlds galas are becoming signature...

We're still talking about knocking Jason Brown off the team? JB could be absent for all of the fall, and I'd still put him on the Olympic team with his track record of laying down the skates at Worlds/Olympics. Heck, I'd even put him in the Olympic Team Event. The other US men have the problem...

Gosh, such two contrasting styles between Ilia and Jason. Both incredible in their own ways. US men's figure skating is very lucky. Heartbroken for Andrew, and I hope he still takes away all of the positives from this whole season. I won't forget his Nationals FS.

Alysa Liu, you ARE the WORLD CHAMPION! Just amazing!!! That has to be one of the most unexpected, feel-good wins in figure skating, lol. Put her at top billing for Stars on Ice now - she's a world champion too!

Idk what's going on here with these posts above. Sure, Dave Lease highlights important issues, but he's also extremely catty and mean and deserves to get called out for all of the hateful things he also says. I'm glad he got rebuked. I'm not saying that USFSA or Eteri don't also have their...

Thank you. So it's easier, but it's not critical. Carry on!

Sorry, I must be missing something, but why does it matter if the third skater does well in the SP and qualifies for the FS or not? All that matters are the placement of the top 2 equaling 13 or less, correct? Bratti & Somerville did not qualify for the FD last year, but the top 2 US ice dance...

Happy to see that they met the funding goal, but definitely sad that USFS cannot cover costs. A beautiful pair of triple axels, but I was half-expecting this to be be Ilia's 4T+3A+3A+3A+3A+3A+3A from last week, lol.
