For anyone who might not have had a chance to see it, Carolane's interview with Stellar magazine is up online. https://stellar.ie/real-talk/fitness/my-movement-figure-skating-has-taught-me-so-much/130876

I really enjoyed their FD this afternoon, it was a good comeback after how disappointed they must have been yesterday. Looking forward to seeing what happens in Zagreb next weekend!

Carolane and Shane will skate 7th in the RD on Friday, at 13.17 Irish time, 16.17 local time in Istanbul. Full skate order is here https://onlinesonuclar.buzpateni.org.tr/Sezon/2023/bosph2023odf/FSKXICEDANCE----------QUAL000100--_StartListwithTimes.pdf

I am so excited for this! Do we have any details of their music yet?

I usually buy it but haven’t got this one yet. I’ll get it the next time I’m near the shops… can anyone remind me of the rules of scanning/ uploading articles here? (I have a feeling it’s “Don’t!” but I never do it so I can’t remember!)

I think we actually talked about this in Milan; I was saying I was amazed that someone (probably an American!) hadn't looked for Irish ancestry to represent us... I'm hoping that this goes well for them!

In all seriousness, I'm continually shocked that no-one has gone down that route yet!

The Skating Lesson have tweeted it, so has Robbie Przepioski who Doug used to coach. His brother also has posted about it on Facebook… it only says following a long illness. 😢

We had this during the summer - first trip to England in 3 years and Daughter had a couple of notes from previous trips. Any post office will change them for you, but you have to have a bank account for a bank to do it.

I full on gasped when I saw this last night. So sad to hear. I did, however, manage to find what seems to be the full 1991 Farewell Concert on YouTube, so I know what I’ll be watching later! 💔

If we’re thinking of the same competition, I think it was the Euros 97 men’s free skate. Ordinal were all over the place - IIRC, I think Andrejs Vlaschenko had marks from 1st to 7th with everything in between) and Urmanov went from 5th in the short to win overall, unheard of at the time. I used...

That third picture is one of my all time favourites of the three of them. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since he passed away - it’s still as unbelievable now as it was then.

My abiding memory of that performance is sitting on the floor of my living room about a foot away from the tv, trying to explain to my then seven year old why I was doing that and only able to come out with “they’re just so beautiful!”

What awful, awful news. Condolences to his family.
