Personally, I think Michelle Kwan is one of the greatest figure skaters of all time who did not win an OG. I also think she was artistically amazing and could make you feel during her programs. Sarah Hughes never had that same effect on me. Sarah had a great skate on a day when it counted the...

I have seen on social media that Katia’s daughter Liza opposed the invasion of Ukraine. I have some empathy for many Russians, because I do not believe they all support the invasion of Ukraine. Truly, Putin is crazy and has now banned social media in Russia and has made it a crime to speak in...

I think Katia speaks relatively well considering it is not her first language. I also read somewhere that when she was with Sergei and Ilia they spoke Russian at home, which would make sense. Considering that’s she has only been divorced six or seven years she is doing well. David is from...

I feel so bad for this girl she is being exploited and abused. Could you imagine performing under the negative attention she is receiving by the North American media and other countries throughout the world. To me this is not different than the sexual abuse that occurs in youth sports she is...

Sorry I misspoke

Craig Simpson is an ex NHL a hockey player from Canada now turned sportscaster. He was on Battle of the Blades with Jamie and they got married. It seems like they may have separated and not sure if they are divorcing or not. Jamie has been outspoken on social media with her support of the...

I too have noticed all the freedom convoy posts on her IG and Twitter account. I live in the US so I don’t follow politics in Canada but I do believe Canadians are pretty liberal and this convoy seems like a very unpopular thing to be associated with. I really feel bad for the whole situation...

I watched the first two episodes of Meddling and thought it was well done so far. I had also read the book The Second Mark, which is really the gold standard in detailing the SLC controversy. I know everyone in skating says what matters the most is which pair performs better that night. I...

From my understanding the marriage was over before Jamie hooked up with Craig. Jamie and David were separated for a couple years before they went public and David was the one who wanted out. I know nothing about Craig’s marriage before Jamie or the timeline. Obviously if she pursued the...

I’m curious. How we started talking about vaccines and Donald Trump on a figure skating thread that was based off what happened almost 20 years ago. It is unfair to judge Jamie Sale by what she likes on social media and Twitter. It is a okay to disagree with her but she should not be defined...

I find it ironic that Pelletier is married to a Russian now, lol. I wonder what Katia Gordeeva thinks about the pair skating fiasco in 2002. I want to like Jamie Sale, but all the crying and “we were robbed” felt like sour grapes to me. Let’s face it Jamie was very inconsistent with her jumps...

I have read The Second Mark and that book is the best representation of the SLC controversy. I would highly recommend that book as it gives very detailed descriptions of all three pairs, the Russians, the Canadians, and the Chinese and what it is like to train in those very different countries...

I agree, she actually might find more work in Canada where ice skating has always been very popular. David Pelletier is a skating coach for hockey and I’m sure there is opportunities for coaching and teaching in Canada. Unfortunately, I think a lot is skating shows like Stars on Ice are losing...
