Seeing the crowds and positive energy on TV for this U.S. Nationals made me feel better about the state of skating than I have in quite a while. It seems that it was embraced well by the local community. I love that there was a big crowd for pairs, and even though that FS was a rough event (no...

I’m sad for this situation and that Jenni doesn’t fully have Todd mentally anymore, but I know they realize it’s miraculous that he is still here at all and doing so well. His long-term memory and retained knowledge of the technical side of skating is encouraging though! Maybe she has in mind...

Not unexpected I suppose, but sad for me! I loved Daniel’s expression and personality on the ice, and they skated so well this year.

Does anyone have any indication of how likely this is to happen? I know very little of such matters. The situation is a bumner because I really like this young team and thought their “Cha Cha Cha” SP was so cute and well performed this past year.

While I have been watching for Jenni’s updates, thank you all for providing the additional information here. I’ve been so worried and continuing to pray daily for Todd. What a great tribute to their legacy, by the way, that Alexa and Brandon just won the first back-to-back World medals for U.S...

I was not a fan of Carolina Kostner's skating in her earlier years when it was so much about power and jumps, but her performances in Sochi were my favorites, collectively, of all the ladies there! Such beautiful skating, and done with a smile on her face! I'm happy not only for her, but for...
