It is too bad Bruno did not get a strong partner much earlier in his career. We only go to see what he was really capable of for about 2 years.

What really impresses me is how Chock & Bates have been able to climb themselves back up to being real contenders again, and could possibly retake the U.S #1. I would have never thought it possible, not even after their noticeable improvements last season. I figured the hierarchy of dance...

Is there any shot at all they might come back for 2022 or before 2022, or are they 100% done. I am a huge fan of theirs and would love to see them skate again, regardless if they can reach their 2018 form again or not. I am guessing they are probably done, but I have not heard them confirm...

I am not either. Her gymnastics is kind of an eyesore. I just would feel bad for her as she seems to wind up in that position often. It is strange for such a talented gymnast to make only 1 world or Olympic team. And she has a lot of determination and has worked really hard on this...

Yeah I guess if the All Arounders like Lee, Hurd, Grace, Wong are scoring close to the same on vault and floor there really is no point to take her then even as the 2nd vault/floor worker who is a good AAer. I don't mention Eaker since I assume she is the one who would never do vault and floor...

So Skinner is screwed even if Carey is not on the main team due to her individual spot?

If Carey is getting the non team specialist spot wouldn't Skinner now make the team as the 2nd vault and floor worker who can also do the all around well? I would like to see that for her. I feel for her she continues to be the odd person out as her strengths are not needed on the team. In...

Last year was such a special one as an ice dance fan seeing Guignard & Fabbri winning big surprise bronzes at both the GPF and Europeans where nobody had them coming any higher than a very distant 4th. Sadly back down to reality at worlds where their recent success gained them no favors in...

If Sinitsina & Katsalapov win silver and Stepanova & Bukin are 6th then Tarasova will have a hissy fit in the booth. She might have a minor heart attack.

It will be interesting too going into U.S Nationals, Russian Nationals, and Europeans. Possibly Four Continents. We will get an idea who is the U.S #1, but whoever loses here can still strike back come Nationals, but the one who comes higher here probably has the early edge, especialy if...

Hawayek & Baker have had a rough season, but I still think it is likely them.

It seems fairly obvious Papadakis & Cizeron win. Sinitsina & Katsalapov as silver is 80% likely probably, who knows though, Chock & Bates did nearly beat them and beat them handily in the FD, and they are prone to mistakes sometimes still. The real question is probably the bronze. Not sure...

A perfect S/H clearly win out at this point, but it depends how they skate on the day. If S/H have any mistakes it is certainly possible for B/K to beat them even now.

I agree, but I still think it is almost optimal the PCS not be raised too fast, so I am happy with where their PCS is now. I think their development rate, their learning curve, everything we have seen from them since Skate Canada last year, is incredibly on point. And they are being guided...

I agree. It is better for the sake of their development not to get too high of PCS at this point anyway. I think they are firmly establishing themselves as the new Russian #1s though, bumping out Tarasova & Morozov. I think by seasons end it will be pretty much confirmed.
