Is anyone who understands French able to give us a brief summary of what the coaching team was saying after Smart/Diaz’s simulation in episode 2? I think I got the idea from the tone and body language, but…

That looks really cool! I love those types of big sweeping historical romances. I can’t find any info on professional skaters involved as stunts or doubles - does anyone know?

Not sure if this is right Forum? Sorry if it’s wrong! I am a longtime FSU reader and sporadic poster taking a Linguistics course in college. We have an assignment to collect data for Focal Vocabulary and Culture. Is there a coach here, or does someone know a coach, who would be willing to spend...

They haven’t? I thought on the GP the commentators said that Peng had a serious chronic injury, that she had told them in the media interviews that she just accepted that she would always be in constant pain when she skates? I don’t remember what specific injury it was, but I remember being...

I’ve heard of this happening a couple times to other athletes - WHY would a country not send an athlete of any sport to the Olympics if they qualified? Is it just the cost? Is it they only want to send possible medal contenders only?

Didn’t Majorov also qualify for 2018 Olympics but Sweden decided not to send him?

I thought the obligatory mistake was the picture that was captioned “Kwan at 1995 US Nationals.” If that’s correct, where’s the ponytail?

And then she coached him when he skated with a new partner for South Korea leading up to the Olympics.

Yep, I remember seeing lots of fluff about him in the 90s going to Harvard while competing. As Debi Thomas and Nathan Chen will confirm, that isn’t easy!

Thanks for the info! But I was specifically asking for the evidence, not the name of a country

What evidence is there that any country other than Russia has had a state sponsored program? Not being snarky, I am honestly asking because I haven’t heard of any others.

I always like Katarina Witt’s version, not only was it beautiful but she was very up front about making a statement of a German skater using this music, that her generation was younger and different and should never forget what happened. I also liked Paul Wylie’s program, he was such an...

Disappointed but not surprised. Anna Capellini retired and she and Ondrej deserve to relax and enjoy. Wished he and Stefanie Berton could have gotten more medals they really had potential. And with Valentina they could have done shows together for years the audience loves them. But I’m...

Here’s another irony - at 18 you can vote, be drafted in the army and killed in combat, but you can’t be trusted with alcohol
