Maia shared they she and Alex chose to forego marching in the Opening Ceremony, which was held at night in the mountain cluster, as the prudent way for them to be at their best when they represent for the Team event. They did attend the Team Men's and Pairs short programs, supporting their...

Is Yuzu training in Japan now? To help minimize his transit time/jet lag? Brian must be needing to head to Korea by now, isn't Gabby doing team event Ladies?

USA Today's medal projections. A clear improvement from a copy-editing standpoint not predicting a medal for Pechalat-Bourzat ;) (I'm lookin' at YOU, Sports Illustrated!) https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2018/02/05/2018-pyeongchang-olympics-medal-projections/110142648/

Hope they're fighting strong and come back with a vengeance during Milan worlds

Happy for Bradie and hopefully Mirai as well, but was Bradie supposed to make such a post? I thought all the countries were keeping their strategies very close to the vest.

Hope they give the flamenco program more time, not 'give up' on it too soon.

Alex Shibutani certainly has a track record of pushing himself through illness and injury. 2012 Four Continents free dance. Alex collapses to the ice at the end after performing at altitude in spite of illness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sKUrWwXlVc 2015 Grand Prix Final free dance. Did...

Good luck to him at GPF!

The dress should do a stint at the USFS Hall of Fame ... they have a case for rotating costume loans.

Nationals should have been in Detroit in January. That would have been the ultimate in #throwback opportunities. Faux re-enactments, the possibilities would have been endless!

Worlds comes up pretty quickly after the Olympics. Unlike prior years where the event is literally the final week of March and into like April 1, 2018 Worlds goes March 19 thru 25, making the turnaround time between Olympics and Worlds a week shorter than "normal" I believe.

Hope they're being smart and picking price points and creating options for e.g., learn to skate club member kids to attend without breaking the bank. This is really the one post-Olympic/once every 4 years "dog and pony" show to rally interest for the sport. And while obviously theoretically a...

Incredible on many levels. The intensity, reliability and accuracy of his work is stand-out impressive on it's own, never mind also being a consultant for McKinsey (unquestionably also a very full time job). This profile and article are long overdue.

Satoko was so impressive and seems to be finding her groove at just the right moment. For someone who only started seriously training jumps in October ... speaks volumes about how fundamentals/technique can play a role in consistency and a quick return to form.
