The post said that their original concept for their SP didn't work out, so yes, they trashed a program, but it didn't specify whether that was also a Lori program or if it was a Marcotte program.

NGL, I am totally fine with a Nastia #2. I loved Nastia's style of gymnastics and would gladly welcome it back. I really liked Claire's gymnastics.

After her initial success and (over-)hype at age 13/14, I was skeptical about Alysa achieving any sort of longevity in her skating career. When she had her first major growth spurt and people began writing her off, and she was able to regroup and fight back, I realized I was wrong, and so I was...

Given that one of the factors of the breakup was apparently that Nadiia wanted to leave Scarborough, while Peter did not, this seems highly unlikely.

I am extremely relieved that they aren't skating for Canada. Thank goodness for small mercies.

I haven't read it, but I'm guessing this is about that Icebreaker nonsense that all the chick lit book clubs seem to fawn over?

Understatement........ :yikes:

Very happy that Kaiya was able to achieve the Worlds minimums this season! :cheer:

Apparently there are rumours that Minsol Kwon of South Korea is going to be competing for Canada. She is on the Senior Women's list for Ontario Sectionals.

Do we know who is in which qualifying subdivision yet?

Yikes. I can't say I'm that surprised - as I mentioned in my initial post, with gymnastics coaches these days, I hold my breath and basically wait until something negative is revealed. :(

I'm also watching the series and I genuinely hope she wins five gold medals in Paris (sixth for Suni :lol:), but no matter what happens, she is truly the GOAT. There are other gymnasts from the past whose styles I have preferred or was more emotionally invested in, but there is really no...

The idea of MyKayla Skinner talking about "crisp and clean" gymnastics is just... so ironic. :rolleyes:

I actually think the opposite. Nastia wasn't a great commentator by any means, but IMO she was much better than Sam. I can't easily remember a single time Sam has actually named a skill, and it is especially annoying when she goes on and on about how difficult a certain vault is, but then...
