Anyone see LFB walk in the opening ceremony, holding on to Cizeron's arm for dear life? Girl doesn't even want to walk in the Olympics on her own? It was creepy and sad.

Through this terrible event, I'm glad the decision is out of Deanna's hands. Understandably, Olympic athletes want to push beyond their limits, but it's a very narrow mindset when it comes to having a good life. No matter what happens this month, she's a world champion with tons of good things...

That’s heartbreaking. It feels like they’re hoping against hope here, but I’ll still cross my fingers that they make it.

I love watching her play. Next could be Sabalenka but it's already a great start to the season.

But one of them is an American playing a Russian? 🤔 I assume they'll wear a neutral torch bearer kit. Just finish the series. It is very sexy, but also sad, corny, and heart warming. ❤️

Minsol Kwon is older than I thought she was, looking at her programs and her costumes. I hadn't seen her skate before this year. Good to know she won't outgrow her jumps but it would be nice to see a different side to her next year, perhaps reflecting more of her personality.

FYI - Saw the ebook on Amazon but not on Kobo.

Not me. The French library near me also has a Feb 6 availability.

Another variable is that athletes often get sick during the Olympics and DSD/MD both have had their share of illness I wish masking was more popular, especially for travel.

Butting in to highlight the fact that Anthony Geary was not a rapist and only played one in TV. While alive, we could argue about his decision to remain in the role, but he just past and I find harping about a 40-yr old TV soap event here, to be distasteful at best. There are so many IRL...

Yes. 6 years ago, they had nothing skating career wise. They achieved so much since then and they’re still favourites to go to the Olympics. I think another coach could’ve helped them grow more but making such a big change after winning Worlds, or a year before the Olympics, I can see why they...

Could we please keep the Ilia talk to his thread or to the US Men's thread?

IceChallenge results: Grayson Long: 3rd - yeah for bronze🥉at a Senior comp! Keegan Messing: 4th (Jacob Sanchez in 2nd, Maxim Naumov in 1st but zero "wow" performances in the competition, every performance looked like a chore.) Messing will get tons of cheers at the Canadian Nationals, but w/...
