This was the first FS event I’ve watched live and fully in a while. I’ve mostly been keeping up via replays and what not. Nothing against the skaters mentioned,what stuck out to me was how much Tennell’s silver here reminded me of Czisny’s silver in 2012. Many things were overlooked. I think...

There is so much talent in the Russian women’s field, if there is a chance for more of them to skate for another federation under training and living conditions that benefit them I hope that those who can take that opportunity.

Congrats to Bell. But I’m kinda surprised Levito didn’t win that award. She had the free skate of the event in the women’s free. So it’s kind of crazy that Bell won that, especially when you comprare that to her 2020 nationals performance of that program.

Which is a shame because while his method of coaching didn’t deliver great bars workers. It has delivered 2 of the strongest athletes the U.S. has had over the last 20 years who were able to compete for more than 1 Olympic cycle and for the most part injury free.

I think the raise in age will benefit those with a more “pure” jump technique in the long run. I don’t believe it will bring back the “artistry” that so many seem to be nostalgic about. It’ll make skaters work the judging system even more to get those points, less quads but more overly packed...

I don’t expect miracles from Memmel and Sacramone, but IMO it’s good that people that haven’t been coaching for decades and part of the old guard were chosen to run the women’s program. Of course there will be growing pains but I’m optimistic about these choices. When it comes to developmental...

I wouldn’t be surprised if this and Azerbaijan getting 0 televotes and still qualifying are all connected.

Im happy with the top 10. I hope this gives the UK and Spain the momentum to keep these good results going. Im also very happy for my favorite Portugal ?

I find it odd that it’s just the Eastern European countries with the bad reception, possible Russian hacking?

I didn’t think the juries would be going for Spain, but let’s keep it going! ?

Has there ever been a year when the reining winner/s doesn’t sing the winning song?

For those of y’all that can vote, please send one at least one for Estonia’s way, after hosting 80% of skating competitions last season they deserve something.

It might be just because he’s pretty but I think Poland is gonna place fairly well, maybe upset a favorite or 2.

Don’t know if the UK will win, but I think top 5 is doable. In my opinion Spain, Ukraine, and Sweden are so far the front runners

Great voice from Australia, but 90% of the lyrics are just him singing “not the same”
