Sorry not sorry, but Bolero, IMO, was a complete mismatch for Michelle. No matter -- and if my memory still serves me well, Chris Dean's choreography had been almost completely stripped by the time the '05 Worlds in Moscow came around that even Chris Dean didn't recognize his work!

Isabeau Levito, Ava-Marie Ziegler, and Lindsay Thorngren are Jersey Girls, so I'd love for Skate America to come back to NJ! I imagine booking The Rock during hockey season will be tricky (and expensive!). Trenton's got a mid-size arena, but the area offers little at night. So, specifically...

My gut is telling me that cleanliness among the big ticket items will win the title this year. I'm calling for Metelkina & Berulava and Hase & Volodin to go gold, silver in either order. As much as I'd love to see Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps win the whole thing at home in Quebec, I'm really...

I gotta say he looks mighty dapper rocking that barong (traditional Filipino formal wear shirt for men.)

Specifically, I think Ilia will win; Yuma, 2nd; Shoma, 3rd.

I'm wondering (admittedly somewhat facetiously) what prompted Starr Andrews vs Clare Seo. Starr's SP in Columbus may not make the FS at Worlds. Your thoughts...

I forget: will this be available for viewing on YouTube??

No doubt that this is a business partnership -- I'm sure he carpetbagged himself to the country of the first partner that he could secure. She, too, -- I'm sure, realized that he is her ticket to the Olympics. They are not the first nor will they be the last pair wherein the partners don't...

I've only seen him ever try 4toe, so I wonder what other quad he's been working on!

It's kinda a shame since they're an attractive looking pair. From their ISU bios, it lists Evgeni Krasnopolski as part of their coaching team. He certainly has plenty of competitive pairs experience, but he's sadly also known to be a little sketchy in his treatment of his partners -- not...

If this season is a wrap for Sarah Everhardt, I hope that she starts working on a 3Axel and/or 4toe! I could aslo see her upgrading her SP combo to 3loop-3loop! Your thoughts...

I wouldn't mind him bringing back this program, but hopefully there'll be a quad in there, too!

This'd probably make the most sense at this point, so you'll probably be right in calling this one! I almost forgot about Clare Seo in all of this discussion.

Got it...I bet now that the USFSA names Starr Andrews as one of the World alternates.

After watching the ladies event at Four Continents, I reaffirm my hope for and belief in a Jr. Worlds team of Josephine Lee and Sarah Everhardt. They were rock solid at Nationals and yes, I agree that their placements there should count for a lot. Had Sherry Zhang, who I think is lovely...
