I have not liked a single tango program since Laura Lepisto's way back. I must say though that this program for Young is really good and hope that she make it to Worlds.

Will there be sort of a fake Russian Grand Prix final at the same time as the real one?

I went back to check the results at Lombardia and Hannah scored 114 points the LP which I found promising for her that early in the season. Wishful thinking I guess given the current raise of high scoring American skaters but I would very much like her to get another CS ahead of Nationals.

Can anyone tell me how it is going for Hanna and Ting? These two showed great promise a few years ago and both are interesting skaters with very much their own style. I believe Hanna did pretty well at a CS earlier this fall? Are they going through Sectionals?

Wonder if she will dust off the Miss Saigon program or, if she has any show program that she can turn into a LP. Yes, we have seen she is keeping up with triples on her IG but a full LP is tough. Honestly, if she manages to land 3-4 triples along with 2 2A's, I would be very inpressed! So...

I cannot help thinking how much I will miss Alysa out there.. It would have been wonderful to have seen her develope after such a successful first year on the Senior circuit ? I know there are other US skaters that have both talent and artistry but I did not expect feeling so down after Alysa's...

This is really sad although not a big surprise given she has not displayed any motivation to continue. For me, she has everything to become a World and Olympic champion and I would have love to see her grow as a skater. Despite her young age, she has that artistic flare and openess to her...

I think Kosto still have one of the best skating skills out there and she was doing pretty well this season. She had no chance to make the Olympic team without 3 Axels and in my opinion, she tried her best to regain them. I would have preferred if she moved to Mishin but I don't see moving to...

????Leona????

What do you think about Kostornaia's chances to win a silver medal behind Valieva at Russian Nationals? I am quite curious if she will try the 3A in the SP. I know I want her to land that jump cleanly again but I wonder if she is actually some clean ones in practice? I think that if she land it...

I will most likely only attend the ladies FS and bought my ticket a few days ago directly at the ticket desk of the supermarket "Carrefour". The prices were indeed really high so I went with a CAT2 (110Eur). I selected a seat above the judges (Block A2 row 15). I hope the display of the seatmap...

I think Liu was pretty nervous here. She seemed slower than in her previous competitions and not the best jump wise. I hope the jitters are out now and that she will steadily improve from here onwards. I like her attitude a lot and I hope it will pay off in the future. Karen seemed devastated...

I felt this was coming for Bradie but I would never count her out. If she is really back training fulltime again, she should be fine for Italy. For the Olympic team, it is impossible to say for now but overall speaking, I am glad that we see Alysa and Lindsey "hungry" out there going for the...

Oh wow, I cannot stop watching Rino Matsuike's LP ?. By far, the best LP I have seen in a long time! Love all the details and her lines are gorgeous.Who is the choreographer behind this master of a LP? Why was her score so low? I would have thought this score +140..Hope to see a lot of this...

I believe in Trusova and the 3A. It started to look good in practice with Plushy and even better now when she is back with Eteri. Of course, it is a mental hurdle but either they take it out from the SP or, she continue to attempt it until she lands it in competition. I don't know how many...
