Emmi Peltonen has announced her retirement on IG. What a wonderful skater she was / is!! She probably never realized her true potential, but am glad that she went to the Olympics (though I don't recall if it was a controversial decision to send her instead of Viveca Lindfors at the time). She...

Dr. V qualifies!!!!

sunshine niko is her coach!

Seems there’s no thread in the kiss n cry section :) So who will be sent to Euros? I liked Linnea Ceder when she competed a few seasons ago. Quite elegant. Olivia Lisko seemed ok too from Finlandia trophy (lots of energy). Amongst the men, will they send Dr. V? I am surprised that Doctor is...

Yes and who can forget Poykio, Kettunen, and Saarinen much later … all such great and elegant skaters. Worthy of mention: Drei for her longevity and improved and mature skating towards the end of her career, and Viveca Lindfors for winning a Euros bronze at a time when Russian girls became so...

Constanze Paulinius was a German competitor in the 1990s / 2000s :) It's been some time since any Chinese men burst onto the scene and caught my attention LOL ... hope that DVD can be the worthy successor to Jin (yes, lovely pure technique he has!!)

Just watched a bit of this competition. Very impressed by David / DVD ... wonderful 3A, fluid movements, some attempts at interpreting the music (who is his choreographer? Constanze Paulinius?). Iffy spins & bland costume though. Hope to see him on the big stage!! (Boyang Jin needs some...

Yes I saw the name more than once on Reddit. If he’s the person who assaulted Gracie, hope justice will be served.

Most grateful for a PM also 🙏. I have a guess too …

I met Surya too in 2002. She was simply delightful. We chatted for a while (using my limited French). Really lovely person!!!!

Thanks .. I meant .. whether Dr. v would go to worlds …

Wonder if Emmi would be sent to Worlds after Peltonen’s disastrous free programme 🫣 Also, I wonder if we would get to see Dr. V one more time (who miraculously got his World FP TES in the Denis Ten Memorial last year). The new guy ain’t bad but doesn’t seem to have the minimums 🫣

I recall watching a video of their training in their early days together. Kana came across as a very supportive partner, and it’s so wonderful to see daisuke’s growth as an ice dancer. Wish them both the very best.

oh no! kudos to Dr. V for trying.

Thank you for sharing the link. Yes, it's indeed all extremely tragic. Let's all remind ourselves of the importance of mental support.
