    Skating’s Elite Summer Sizzler - a show after US Champs Camp where you can watch US top skaters' new programs

    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    By “doing their research” I meant enough to realize that Amber is dealing with ADHD and has specifically said that a long program is hard for her for that reason. I don’t expect them to have treatment suggestions or anything like that.

    U.S. Figure Skating confirms that athletes, coaches, and family members were on American Airlines Flight 5342 that crashed in D.C.
