Looking forward to the duel between the Georgians and the Japanese! Your thoughts...

I bet Camden won't even be at Nationals. Right now I'd say the 3rd spot for Milano will be between Torgy and Tomoki, though I agree I'll need to see if Jimmy Ma can repeat his Four Continents performances here to see if he can join that conversation. (To be perfectly honest I don't think the...

That was Kam & O'Shea's best FS performance in the last 11 months, if not ever! I don't ever remember her landing both of her throws that close to cleanly!! What progress since Trialeti! I'm afraid that the heat they put on was, sadly, way too much for Pereira & Michaud to handle. Your...

I'm also interested in seeing whether Sara Maude Dupuis a.) lands her 3Axel cleanly; b.) beats Madeline Schizas handily in this head to head. Your thoughts...

While I do believe that Kam & O'Shea have higher scoring potential, I ended up going w/Pereira & Michaud for the bronze here. Ellie just looked a hot mess to me at Trialeti Trophy. Right now I have more confidence in Pereira & Michaud getting it together. Your thoughts...

I was really hoping Sarah would introduce one or both of these this season. IMO, they really could have helped set her apart. Let's face it: if Sarah and Isabeau both go clean, Isabeau get the nod. Heck, I could argu the same re: Sarah vs. Bradie. Your thoughts...

I did. Despite Jia's French popfest, I'm gonna go w/my gut anyway.

I just switched from Gubanova to Jia. I like Gubanova's style in general and am enjoying the fact that she looks to be in top form , but I don't recall her ever scoring 70+ in the SP, whereas Jia has. It'll be close, I think, between these two. Your thoughts...

I would agree that Elyce Lin-Gracey took herself out of the running here. Pardon the use of US Presidential Election verbiage here, but I just don't see a path to the necessary Body of Work that she'll need to make her case. Isabeau looks good and prepared and well trained (as to be...

The US pairs teams aiming for Milano aren't looking particularly Olympic to me. Shin & Nagy still have my bet for one of the spots. They've shown consistency in putting out C+/B- quality performances. But, yes, I do get the sense that their scores would shoot up when and if they finally go...

Again, I'm hoping they give us more than 48 hours to watch on-demand! Your thoughts...

That 3Axel-3toe looked so effortless that I would advise her to consider using that as her SP combo!! She's got about 5 months between now and Jr. Worlds!! Your thoughts...

With Samodelkina (who looked great in her season opener, BTW!) out, I think that this is a golden opportunity for Schizas to win.

I wouldn't count that, but good attempt! Now I gotta search the full clip of that FS. IIRC, Dupuis beat Schizas head to head at Four Continents last season, so I'm hoping that Skate Canada isn't ruling out sending Dupuis if she wins Canadian Nationals fair and square. Your thoughts...

I associate this piece of music w/Matteo Rizzo, who I remember interpreted this music oh so well. Regardless of the jump mistakes he may have made, I remember just loving how he performed and sold this program each time out. Having said that, I saw Shin & Nagy's performance in Beijing before...
