It's just wholly weird that the levels are so low this season. I read somewhere, that with regard to the pattern steps that the teams can only "retrogress" going in or out of the steps, which is a new rule, from what I understand. However I am no technical expert. People better than me here can...

When I went, I stayed at APA hotels. Very reasonable for Tokyo. They are peppered throughout. Very small rooms but clean and nice. Usually lots of people staying there, so sometimes the elevator took a long time. There are a few budget hotels in Japan. I definitely suggest buying the speed...

Edited cause it's fake apparently!? Why?!

It seems to me that it's less about removing patterns, rather it's about de-gendering specific steps.

I think we are definitely close, but I saw an interview with Ilia the other day and he's working on quints! Didn't say what variety though. He also has a much younger sister who skates.

Can someone also vet what was below regarding Katlyn being partially responsible/ lobbied for ice dance to have less patterns?

I'm admittedly not up on men's skating much these days, but isn't getting the triple axel at Paradis's age a bit late?

Thanks for your honest response to my question. However it's not a matter of opinion. There is lots of scientific studies that prove it's not a "choice" If you had no problem with it, you'd never label it a "choice " in the first place.

I too must admit as an almost life long fan of ice dance in particular I'm the least invested I've ever been with the discipline, including my home country Canada teams. The podium save for the third spot is almost a lock if skated clean. And even stating that I think it's F/ G to lose. Most of...

I'm just wondering if you could clarify that it's your opinion that Katelyn Weaver's made " a personal life choice" in being or identifying as a queer person?

Maybe it's time to open a separate thread on AI music?

Never mind

All the dresses in that video are both hilarious and tragically awful at the same time. It would have been great to see a dance team do it tongue in cheek. Someone mentioned, I think @Bigbird La/La took this approach. I didn't see that when I watched it, but the video was pretty bad. It looks...

FWIW Gabi was commenting on C/B and was very complimentary of their footwork section in particular. Saying It was very difficult and intricate. She was reporting for NBC sports.

Well I guess we can't say the season is predictable, so far. But having said that it already looks to me that FB/ C are taking the gold.
