I was such a huge Jeff Buttle fan. This performance still makes me emotional!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to articulate how I feel about the IAM situation. You said it better than I could have. Agree with this completely.

I feel like the people who write these have never actually had sex. :lol:

That's how CBC used to broadcast worlds waaaaay back in the 90s!

Would anyone notice the difference? :shuffle: (I kid, I kid. I like her and I hope she is well)

Great skate for Lin! Okay - I like Kaiya Ruiter. I think she has good potential. I think she can clean up her issues and get stronger. She has good coaching and a good team around her. And most definitely, Skate Canada needs to send its skaters out to competitions more often. BUT - the send...

It sounds like she was dabbling in pairs this year and surprised everyone- including herself - by how quickly she picked up the elements. I think it’s a good move for her and won’t be at all surprised to see her give up singles eventually.

I love this.

Same. I didn't love U&Z's program that year but I've always thought they were robbed of gold. That Rain Man program is still one of my favourite pairs SPs of all time.

I am intrigued by the idea of a Bombardier & Mimar partnership. Fiona has charisma in spades and seems to be learning pairs skills quickly. Ben is a good - if sometimes inconsistent - partner. Hopefully Brooke can find a partner and continue. I liked M&M fine and they were technically...

And anyone looking at it objectively would have chosen Wesley and Roman as the world team. I adore Conrad Orzel, but he's even less consistent than Roman is. The other guys who finished ahead are really young and inexperienced.

Liz Manley’s (first) book is fabulous.

I know a former elite level skater who was super talented, extremely fit and quite thin, and beautiful. But the talk around her was most often "lose this much weight," or "don't colour your hair" (or sometimes, "colour your hair"), "don't get a tattoo that can be seen," etc. The focus on her...

I picked up my copy at the bookstore yesterday. I can't wait to read it.

I almost guarantee they won't do it at Montreal Worlds - not with Canada now likely appealing the result.
