    Retrospective on Rudy Galindo

    Happy to hear Rudy is happy working s a coach. Like Hersh I also followed his career with all the ups and downs. He was always a great entertainer.

    So Phil Hersh and his new disgusting trash article about 2010 men’s competition

    I covered both Lysacek and Plushenko during most of their skating careers. Never thought Plushenko was an artist but a great athlete. Lysacek was one of the tallest male single skaters and moved so easily and gracefully across the ice with high jumps. Evan was also very good public speaker off...

    The Dance Hall 7: Tripping the Light Fantastic 2019-2020

    Really enjoyed GP RD. Thought it was quick and sharp. Not so much their FD, which was pretty but unexciting.

    U.S. Ice Dance 2019-20 season news & updates

    Personally, I think HD have more power overall, but CB have the better FD. Likely winner will be which team hits better tech level with fewer errors.

    PEOPLE: See Inside Olympian Evan Lysacek’s Opulent Thai Wedding — Including an Ice Palace After-Party!

    Happy for Evan. He is a nice guy, very unassuming. And he is a great public speaker. I covered his career for many years.

    Some judges can be intimidated by a skater/team reputation rather than what is put on the ice.

    Papadakis/Cizeron #9 - People Will See Them And Cry

    Well they didn't have to explain their interpretation Fame RD, but did explain what message they were trying to convey in the FD. So maybe not all audiences have your vision.

    Rossano: Current Replay Systems Not Up To Task of Insuring Accurate Calls

    Well I have known George for 30 years. He is also a skating judge at local California level and a retired astrophysicist.

    Papadakis/Cizeron #9 - People Will See Them And Cry

    They are wonderful dancers, but this FD does not engage the audience even in France. Too dark, music, limited as it is, is depressing.

    I agree. This Free Dance does not engage the audience.

    Zhulin knows Nikita well. Nikita always tends to rush elements. Last year he was controlled, which is why they did so well as his current partner, lovely as she is, is not as fast as he is.
