It's also not certain that Skate Canada didn't have jurisdiction, depending on the timing of Sorensen's partnership with Vanessa Crone: https://brokenice.substack.com/p/jurisdiction-dispute-continues-in

Here we go again.... Looked at ISU bios from the team event participants, no idea whose music this is referring to. ETA: Apparently Amber: https://www.mysticsons.com/article/interview-clann-sits-down-discuss-his-latest-project-and-album-seelie

I will say I always thought it was a bit odd that Chock/Bates were the only ones blamed for this when that wasn't the only high-profile skater wedding that Nikolaj attended that summer. That said, in both cases I don't know that either couple had a duty to disinvite Laurence and/or tell her to...

As someone who also edits (and fact checks), sometimes I like to try to reverse-engineer how problems like this might've arisen. In this case I'm completely at a loss as to where "Anthony Pereira" could've even come from...

I still love that Hozier FD and the fact that the step sequence is used as the big climax element, though it's also cool to see how much they've developed and improved since then. (Self-plug, I interviewed them back in 2022!)

Hensen/Lickers have had some of the most interesting free dances each of the last four seasons. Glad they're starting to get more attention.

This might not be relevant if there was an agreement behind the scenes, or if specialists weren't included in the general press release, but NBC hadn't listed Gabi for their Milano-Cortina figure skating coverage as of January 6, according to this.

I think the reference is to Deanna's initial partnership with Nate Bartholomay. I believe it ultimately ended due to his injuries, but they did get bronze at 2019 US Nats and were then snubbed for 4CC that year (a few months before splitting).

Christina might be the most successful fangirl of all time. Few can lay claim to getting themselves coached to an Olympic Games by their idols.

Why on earth are Z/K going to 4CC?

I do appreciate that he left his seniors at Canadian Nats in the hands of Adria and the Moir crew. All the IAMO teams matter, but C/P's stakes were just so high, they needed that extra support both morally and more broadly. EDIT: It's also remarkable to think about where they were at the last...

According to this new Time interview with the Shibs, the IDTC and judging panels continue to have strong, diverse, and broadly informed opinions about what constitutes music and dance of the 1990s: The article also includes two lame efforts from the team to excuse away the video, but this bit...

And the answer to the RD change is....the Shibs, according to the US Championships bios linked by @Sylvia on Twitter: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sidearm.nextgen.sites/usafs.sidearmsports.com/documents/2025/12/19/athlete_bios.pdf Their music is now identified as "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai.
