I dunno, seems unlikely, lol.

I'd love this! Also sending good thoughts to Ava Marie Ziegler. Does anyone know how her training is going?

Fans in China hate Alysa? Why?

These potential match-ups are fun to read, but I think they are optimistic in minimizing the number of repeated match-ups. Does anyone know what order the feds choose in? I don't remember whether they take turns somehow or make it random each year.

Tom Hanks and a worldwide coalition of wild animals …

I basically agree with PC. I'm not sure what Jason has to gain from going to worlds. He's a quality skater, but his tech content is no longer competitive unless it's a splatfest. And now even those with "bad skates" these days sometimes have fairly high tech content. I think he has an outside...

Thanks, that makes sense. Also, he puts a lot of emphasis on making students independent, so he probably doesn't think it's his role to hover.

Belated question: Was Raf at Nationals? I think someone said Brandon Frazier was filling for him in the K&C with Andrew T, but that made me realize I don't remember seeing him at all this year. Is he retired or semi-retired? Not travelling at the moment? Does Ilia still work with him...

Thanks- I wish they gave us a week. There’s not enough time to see everything!

Does anyone know when the Peacock replays expire? I haven't had a chance to watch any juniors yet - what are your must-see performances?

Thank you!! I wasn't thinking about multiple additions.

Hmm, I wonder what "bottom ranked according to their scores" means? Bottom of what? And if it's according their scores, it wouldn't necessarily be at the bottom. . . Also, wasn't there a situation of Grassl perhaps being suspended for not being available to drug monitoring?

Thanks for the clarification. I just saw it, shared with joy, then started hoping it's accurate.

I was having a bad day, but this totally makes up for it. :cheer2: https://x.com/cbrennansports/status/1795899716212764903

I don't disagree with the unimpressive choreography and PCS part, but I wasn't bored by Sarah at all. Somehow I just found myself really rooting for her as she ticked off her elements. Lots to improve on, of course, but her jumps seemed pretty solid. I hope she does get a Jr Worlds spot to help...
