Honestly, I don’t see how anyone could have watched the interaction between Alisa and Misha this past year or so and doubted that they are a romantic couple. I never saw her smile until she came to the US and paired up with Misha. And he looks at her with such tenderness! I say congratulations...

I was quite impressed with Rachel Samiri at the last junior Grand Prix but I don’t see her listed for sectionals. Did she not compete or not qualify?

To say I was surprised by how good Chelsea and Ryan were at John Nicks is an understatement. Besides the fact that they are a brand new team, I always thought that Ryan was pretty much dead weight in his prior partnership. He looked to me like a different skater with Chelsea. Really looking...

I just looked at the entries for John Nicks. Chelsea Liu is listed with Martin Bedards. That was a shocker for me.

I may be selling my all event loge 14 row 4 ticket due to a family emergency. I’m still holding out hope that I can go but not too optimistic.

If anyone is looking for a hotel reservation, I just canceled mine at the Royal Sonesta.

Disappointed that Kaiya Ruiter didn’t get any assignments but I understand.

Thanks for the info!

Okay, I’m going crazy! Isn’t there anyone who’s friends with Isabeau or who skates at her rink that knows her status? Will she be at Nationals? She’s my favorite current skater and my patience is at it’s limit!

She won a GP medal while Sarah, Elyce, Bradie, and Alisa did not. Others may be ready to throw Isabeau under the bus but I am not. I don’t believe that she is washed up at the ripe old age of 17. We shall see.

I can’t argue with the points you’ve made but we haven’t talked about PCS. At SA Isabeau’s PCS we’re: 34.01 67.82 Elyce: SA 30.40 60.75 SC 29.94 59.22 Sarah: Fr 30.69 61.98 Finlanda...

I respectfully disagree as to Isabeau. If she’s healthy she goes to Worlds. USFA would be idiots to send untried newbies like Sarah and Elyse over someone with the proven track record of Isabeau. Sarah did great in the Grand Prix with 2 fourths but she didn’t medal. Elyce had a highly...

I stand corrected. I guess I was still living in the days of Zagitiva and Medvedeva. I looked back at the protocols for worlds last year and only Isabeau had two 3/3’s. But of the top fifteen or so, they all had one 3/3 in the long except Hana Yoshida who had a triple axle. I guess I was...

Agree on all counts but hope Bradie is not past her time yet. Sarah is a great talent but to me her tech needs to be increased to really be a player internationally. She doesn’t have a 3/3 combo in her long and her short combo is triple toe/triple toe.
