The Olympic season is a marathon and not a sprint - I guess that can be said for all seasons, but Olympics is a bigger beast. In the past we have seen people come on strong and then the predictions start flying (anyone remember Alyssa Csizny in 2005/2006). Did anyone predict Alyssa would be 2025...

I ma glad I am not the only one that was thinking something had happened, based on her likes and sometimes comments on some anti-public health measure accounts. It is also interesting that her husband's instagram went private, and a twitter post picture has him sans-wedding ring, and retweeting...

When I skated with Angela at the Cricket Club the next season, she mentioned something about Marina Zoueva only taking like 30 mins to choreograph her FP for 1998/99 season. I thought she skated better in 1999 than her winning 1998 National title! Seeing her land triple triples and triple lutz...

Interesting read, and I love the Canadian Championship reflections (clearly :)) In reference to Toller, I remember reading somewhere that this was the catalyst for him to become "Toller" and work with Ellen Burka to become what we all know and love today!

Agreed! I think if Annie had skated that way in previous years she would have won Canadians! There was a lot of hype for Joannie that year, but she had a bad SP IIRC. It was great to see the top 4 skate so well and really put the pressure on each other! Changing of the guard!

I remember seeing this movie on TV years after it was originally aired. I remember my mother warning me this wasn't all that skating was about and it was over dramatized. But having grown up in the sport, it wasn't that far fetched when you heard or witnessed some bizarre behaviour. And like you...

Any update on if this will be aired soon?

I was at that 1998 Canadians and Jamie Sale won the audience the night of the short program (even with the severely under-rotated triple flip). Her content actually matched Keyla Ohs who also had a botched triple flip combo and a wonky triple toe for her solo jump. The audience boo'd Jamie's...

Went to the Oshawa show last night. Can honestly say this was one of the best skating shows I have ever been to! And Tracy Wilson and Rod Black were there as this was the show that will be televised! There were also several standing ovations from the sold-out crowd! What an honour to have...

I don't think anyone could have imagined what happened in the final group this past weekend. I told my wife "this is why I LOVE skating" because as much as you can predict what might happen (and usually you can be right by a few places) as Kurt Browning always says "ice is slippery" and some...

Hello everyone! Long time since I last posted on FSU :) But I definitely keep my eye on all the conversations (good or bad LOL) Just wondering if anyone has been able to find the Canadian Olympic figure skating coverage? I know it will likely be streamed - but looking for either afternoon or...

Why was tripleaxel96's account shut down?? Was it something to do with posting vids without copyright or something? I always checked this account and it was the only youtube account i subscribed too :(
