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. :(

Would be like a Netty Kim (1995) 2.0.

Has Paradis learned any new jumps this season?

Liked the new LP from Deanna & Max, but not sure why they incorporating the "vampire lift" again at the end... strange choice no??? Is there a vampire swimming in the water or something?

Any word on MacIntosh and if she has found a new partner?

Got them! :)

Mine is just spinning and spinning..

Thanks so much!
