    Also of relevance from the article regarding back flips: And about quints: Soooooooo... if Ilia (or someone else) is able to land a quint and decides to use the extra 15 seconds in the program gained from one less jumping pass to throw in an illegal element like a QUINT... all he would...

    Interesting... Bouvart only competed a handful of times with Coline Keriven in the 2022-23 season - his last competition with her was Bavarian Open 2023. I didn't realize Vouillamoz was actually Swiss but her ISU bio says she was born in Sion. Her last competition with Flavien Giniaux was...

    Hey, for anyone in the western US or flyover country as long as it is within a day's driving distance then it's close enough to be in your general "area"!

    2025 U.S. Nationals in Wichita, KS & Skate America returns to Allen, TX in 2024

    I don't think you're the only one who had sources pointing at Illinois for both events. Of course, maybe it was the same person lying to everyone on FSU and pointing us in the wrong direction!

    2025 U.S. Nationals in Wichita, KS & Skate America returns to Allen, TX in 2024
