It's obvious, but the biggest issues with 4CCs are time and distance. Europeans have a distinct advantage with that regard, so it is much easier to participate in both Euros and Olympics. The US and Canada complicate things by holding their national championships at the beginning of the year so...

Ohashi was there. She does a spoken word poem but is mostly underutilized.

I attended to the GOAT tour last night in San Jose. It was very loud, there was a lot of dancing and a lot of walking the runway ;). I enjoyed seeing Chelsea Memmell and Ellie Black-- they were fun. I LOVED Nia Dennis-- everything she did was spectacular, and it was also good to see Shilese...

It's not just funding from US Figure Skating, which is nothing to sneeze at. As a US medalist, she will also get USOC funding which helps a lot. Then there is prize money from competitions, sponsorships, donations, and any endorsements. She will be well taken care of should she make the team and...

Do we have any insight on how teams will be selected for the WC?

I have loved getting to know Japanese skating fans, members of the media, and the skaters (when they allow them to be interviewed), but I have never hoped to visit Japan. Not sure why. This Olympics changed all of that-- I really want to see Tokyo now. This games, despite all of the negative...

I just learned today that I work with Gabby Thomas's mom. I just started with this org six months ago, so I wasn't in the loop. It was fun at work today :)

So sad that my Irish husband-to-be finished just outside qualifying for the final. I shall have to comfort him tonight. Also, German tripod was also eliminated. :( Just discovered canoe. OH. MY. ☠️

Too slow. I have already deployed my plan to make him my husband.
