    Women skaters (singles) 25 and up who skated in Olympics or worlds

    Ashley Wagner won the World Silver medal in 2016 just a couple months before her 25th birthday, and then skated (and won GP medals) for 2 more seasons, incl one more trip to Worlds in 2017. And can't forget Akiko Suzuki who won a World Bronze medal in 2012 at the age of 27. She won a GPF bronze...

    Has USFSA flat out ever told a skater to retire?

    Wagner got lower PCS at Nationals across her programs (but especially in the SP) than she had been getting Internationally in the 2017-2018 season, even despite very lackluster skates at her GP's. This was most clear in the 2018 Nats SP, where she was clearly not vintage Wagner, but she was...

    ASHLEY WAGNER...RETIRED?

    Where / when was this announced? It looked like she had a hip injury in 2018 season but I don't remember any actual confirmation.

    What are your favorite 19-20 programs so far?????

    My absolute favourite is Satoko Miyahara's freeskate...it is sublime and the choreo sequence is some of the best execution in figure skating, period. Otherwise Mariah Bell's hallelujah FS, Nathan Chen's Rocketman FS, and Papadakis Cizeron's Fame SD

    Montreal chosen as host for 2020 figure skating world championships

    So is there anything at all available in this pre-sale anymore? I can't get anything on the site. When I checked the first time it was 1h10m after the start of the pre-sale, and at that point nothing would show up on the site. Is it just me? There's no way the whole pre-sale was sold out within...

    Stars on Ice Canada tour, April 26-May 16, 2019

    Interesting! See, I'm a younger skating fan and I don't have any connection to Kurt, but I have always loved good skating all around, particularly in the younger skaters of my generation. I thought the show was pretty decent, I've seen better, I've seen worse... Patrick was great .... but when...

    Russia’s 3rd lady for worlds

    Logically, based on BOW this season, it should be Tuktamysheva. But my heart wants it to be Medvedeva given her upturn, resilience, and career BOW.

    U.S. Ladies [#23]: Triple Axels? What a Novice Idea!

    It's all about Mariah this season! Clean jumps, increased tech content, glowing programs (that are a huge leap forward), renewing confidence!

    U.S. Ladies [#23]: Triple Axels? What a Novice Idea!

    Just wanted to say that I'm so impressed with Mariah Bell's SP this year, and see lots of potential for her FS. This is the strongest she's looked in a while, and there's a major improvement in components/presentation. I can see a lot of Ashley Wagner influence, I wonder if she worked with her...

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    Host federations also get some say in who gets invited as far as I know, when it gets lower down the list. And for ticket sales, every single one of them would be wanting AW in their event. She's a pretty easy sell, even if USFS wasn't doing her a single favour.

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    Huh? That's not really what happened. She said that. And then after being decimated on social media, she said that she stands by her words, and that as an athlete having competed at the Senior level for that long, that she's allowed to question things. This is the same girl who got tons of...

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    We don't know what was up with Ashley the past season and a half. But if the scrappy underdog of all underdogs wants to skate one more season and prove everything wrong. Let her strut her stuff. I'd definitely pay to watch it.
