Per Karen Chen's post interview after the team SP, she was already chosen to skate for the team right after Nationals. Even after just losing and Mariah Bell winning nationals...

Trusova withdrew because of vague “medical reasons” but she is actually in Moscow now attending the Sambo celebration in Kremlin. Looks like it is planned decision that she is only doing short program here. Maybe testing the 3A again.

check it again and Calalang/Johnson are no longer in the USFS ISP list. So technically they cant get funding since they are not part of Team USA anymore. My guess is their travel restrictions/ban is more personal rather than sport related. Homeland Security had to stamp that if it’s true.

Do people here honestly believe that Rusfed will deny top skaters especially the injured now at the Russian Nationals just because they cannot participate at the Russian Cup Stages? You can argue that Rusfed can be corrupt but stupid is not one of them. Mark my word some sort of exceptions will...

Are you guys sure that it was Trusova who did not want to work with Kostarnaya or maybe it is the other way around? it wouldn't be a surprise if its the other way around since Eteri herself said that Kostarnaya has list of skaters she did not want to skate or practice with. So maybe Trusova was...

Im guessing the bonus points given during the 1st stage of Russian Cup will be applied all throughout the competitions. So that means for the 2nd Stage Valieva has already +6 points advantage over Trusova and Medvedeva if she only performs her normal non-jumping elements. Dang that is huge. I...

It is usually for the baby to obtain US citizenship. Have been done for decades. This is very much popular to asian countries. pretty much all asian celebrities do this. As long as the parents are able to enter the US legally there is no law prohibiting them to get medical care (child birth) in...

At this point they might as well give the 3rd spot to Konkina/Drozd who has been scoring really well internationally for a new couple.

After it was made known to Zimmerman, Fontana & the French Fed about the disgusting incident, they have the immense POWER to do the right thing and make it right but chooses to simply not to. Freaking disgusting piece of shite. Totally lost respect to these lo life people. EWWWW

It is definitely the pressure. Let us not pretend that we were not surprise including them of the up shot and backing (a well deserved) they are getting right now. That instant pressure definitely played to it. It is bound that US will back someone for that No. 1 spot but a lot are expecting...

I was very impress with their speed and how Novoselov handled himself. My fear was Novoselov will slow them down and make silly mistakes so it was surprising that it was Ksenia who made the errors. Aside from the SBS jumps and 3Tw I think all their other elements were very good. PCS wise i think...

in the past 4 years aside from Anna, Laurine and Zagitova(although very subtle) who are the other skaters who have done costume change to make this as a popular trick?

He has a decent 3Sal and 3Loop. Im guessing he can also do 3T. He seems stable with the his jumps. Im guessing they will do 3T for SP and 3sal and 3T+2t(+2t maybe) for LP

I honestly think Novoselov/Stolbova's future will depend on that triple twist lift. The higher the brighter their future is. Novoselov's track record on that element with his previous partners are meh at best. Stolbova's was obviously affected by Klimov's shoulder injury but even then, that...

Sotskova could possibly be snacking the same thing just not gaining the same calories as you do. As someone who have been on a restrictive caloric diet, you can chug 24 cans of soda without gaining any calories or smother your food with thousand island dressing gaining only 5 calories opposed...
