Just curious. Does anyone have any theories on why they are being so hush hush about teh injury? I mean... what's the benefit to not just saying what happened? I know Deanna says it's no one's business, but the scrutiny seems to have intensified becasue of the lack of any official...

totally agree re the shirt. SO Cringy. It's one thing for others to call you teh quad god but to strut around in a shirt saying it is just tacky and very arrogant looking in my opinion.

One thing it did do, was it always got a lot of cheers from the people in the rink...so it did give them that extra 'energy boost'...

Spots for Worlds are determined at Worlds....so the only pressure here is for him to skate his best and see where he finishes after his Free Program!

Thanks for posting these updates!

According to Radio Canada, they can no longer use the music for their RD. (Music rights issue with Prince songs)! 3 weeks before Olympics! Yikes…

What are the odds? I have no idea. But if someone really wants to go to the Olympics and could do so by identifying as a different gender, then it is certainly within the realm of being a possibility. Especially if they don't have the technical chops to compete in the men's category when it...

Let's use this example as a discussion. Let's say that Anthony Paradis decides he wants to transition and become a woman or identify as non binary. His jumps are not up to the standard required with the top men, but he has lovely qualities to his skaitng and the jumps he can land, he can...

Actually I don't have an issue with that. Same sex dance teams seems like fair game in many ways. Pairs could be interesting for sure.

Exactly.

People who are transitioning can be at various stages. Someone - in theory - could decide that they want to transition to go from a man to a woman and still take part in competitions. ie: Think of male skaters who don't have quads or even a 3A, but if they competed against women they could...

Biological males should not compete against females. If a boy decides to transition to a girl, fine.... but perhaps it's time for Skate Canada to have a 3rd division specifically for Transgender Athletes. Although I guess a trans girl would still have a significant advantage over a trans boy.

Unless Schizas has a major meltdown at Nationals, I can't see Dupuis beating her. Yes, she has a triple axel... but her overall skating is not overly intricate...she can do the jumps, but there isn't a lot to her programs. Her SP this year is a good choice for her, but I think her LP is...

Gotta say that it’s so nice to see Maddie returning to the Lion King program. Having seen her performance there it makes it so clear that her coaches/choreographers have failed her with so many programs that just don’t suit her. The Lion King truly does and she skates like it too. I think...

Horrific tragedy. News reports say there were 14 skaters on board plus their families. :(
