I LOVE the idea for C/B’s FD and it just feels very “them”- I’m so glad they’ve stuck with the “character piece” concept like with the snake because that is definitely what suits them best. Even if they don’t medal in Beijing, I can see that type of program going down very well with the public!

https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/30154650/how-did-pairs-ice-dancers-prepare-skate-america-*********-easy According to this article, Chock and Bates are keeping both their 19-20 programs- they had a new FD but decided to table it as they missed a lot of training this summer due to a minor...

:wuzrobbed I miss them a lot. I hope they’re okay.

As a British ice dance superfan who watches DOI, I’m thrilled!

I've rewatched H/D too and I'm still not a huge fan. Unsurprisingly though, Twitter is all over it just because Scott Moir choreographed it, even though a lot of the choreo/lifts/twizzles aren't even that different/different at all to previous programs. Had MF choreographed it, I bet people...

I agree on M/S- he's alright but looked "off" throughout. I found both of their programs boring TBH. My favourites: both of H/B's, esp their RD, G/P's FD and I really enjoyed Pate and Bye as well! H/D's programs are probably better than the last 2 years, but not the sort that will catapult...

As soon as I finish, the FD is uploaded :biggrinbo FD thoughts: -M/S: Again, has potential, but a bit dull. Not that I'm surprised, it's WISA. -P/B : The "stumble and fall" slide never gets old :D I love this song and again, love their skating and how much fun they look like they're having...

I've watched the RD: -McNamara/Spiridonov: I'm glad Lorraine's found a new partner... but Big Spender, really? It barely even fits the Finnstep :wall: A little rough in places but they definitely have potential. -Pate/Bye: They really made me smile :D I loved her facial expressions, she...

I hope it won’t happen, but I won’t be surprised at all if they withdraw from Skate America.

I’m guessing it’s related to how there are so many dance teams training in Canada. I hope they manage it safely.

IDF looks pretty exciting, and all the nationals matchups will be fun. China looks dead, as we guessed. The dance is interesting as so many teams train in Canada that some Gadbois teams are going to their home country: P/C, L/LG, C/B (wouldn’t be surprised if they withdrew), H/D, H/B.

I’m very worried about Chock and Bates. When they said it was a “small injury” I was kinda optimistic, especially as it seemed that they were back on the ice, but I’m less so now. I heard Russian forums talking about her getting a concussion (no idea where they got that from, but I guess it’s a...

If that involves coaching, then noooo. He should be banned from the sport, and especially not be around young skaters.

I have mixed opinions on Vanessa. As far as I know, there is no evidence that she knew it wasn’t happening at the time (unlike the coaches) but she did defend him after it came out I think. It must have been a very difficult situation so not ditching him makes sense but she did defend an...

I’m not surprised, and very relieved. I hope he gets the consequences he deserves.
