    Official retirement announcements by figure skaters in 2025-2026

    I’ll miss them a lot, but it doesn’t surprise me. No more worlds to conquer, and Kihara has been at this a very long time.

    2025–26 Canadian Ice Dance: News and Updates

    When there's only so many spots available on the Grand Prix (and at championships), options are not unlimited in that regard. It doesn't really seem like lack of resources was the issue here, either. They had a fair number of decent junior/young senior teams, they've just ended up splitting and...

    2025–26 Canadian Women: News and Updates

    The return of the waltz next season in the RD is going to be a great re-sorter of teams, I expect. If they're looking to regain their momentum, that's where they start.

    2025–26 Canadian Ice Dance: News and Updates

    Virtue & Moir are obviously #1 all-time in Canadian ice dance, but I was wondering, where do we think Gilles & Poirier rank after them? In terms of honours, they have an Olympic bronze, like Wilson & McCall, but more World medals and more medals of a better colour (five, including three...

    2026 Worlds Free Dance PBP - Whale, That's All Folks!

    Considering the program switch I think that's less of a surprise. They gambled here (probably not caring too too much about the results) to preserve "Vincent"'s place in history.

    LOL, they added a lot more stabilizing moves going into that second twizzle set. But it worked. Good way for them to end the season after what was assuredly disappointment at the Olympics. EDIT: Or not.

    2026 Worlds Free Dance PBP - Whale, That's All Folks!

    The problems they had over last summer, between her injuries and having to revive this old program after problems developing a new one, have made this a bit of a wasted season for them, I feel. Here's to better things next season.
