Poor kid! The pressure simply got to him. I always thought he should've been sent to Beijing instead of Adam Rippon. I understand using the body of work as criteria for certain skaters, but Rippon was never going to get on the Olympic podium. And the U.S. had a talented young gun with the...

Excellent deep dive into the Free Dance scoring, guys! And Tony, thank you for calling out Beverley Smith on Instagram. When you look at the stuff she posts on X, it’s hard to take anything she says seriously.

Sylvia, the account name is olgalexcoaching.

Love this! Thanks for posting! Max's skill with a jump rope is next level. Wish I could bring over the IG video his coaching team posted but I don't know how.

I hope Deanna is putting her health first. Lindsey Vonn decided to compete despite her injuries and that ended in disaster.

My favorite skate of the whole event was Cam/O’Shea’s Free Skate. Theirs is the only video I’ve watched over and over on YouTube. I love the version of Everybody Wants To Rule The World they used.

How wonderful that Max gets to share his Olympic experience with his good friend Spencer Howe, who spent much time praying with Max when they got the tragic news about the plane crash. "God is always good." -Maxim Naumov

Totally agree! I was thinking back to the Junior Grand Prix and how pleasant Ted Barton and Mark Hanretty's commentary sounded in comparison to the above.

Thanks guys! It was so interesting to hear Tony’s experience as a spectator at this event! And I am so glad I’m not the only one who was unimpressed with Gabrielle Papadakis’s commentary. In fact I found it downright annoying.

Max has won the gold medal at the 2025 Ice Challenge! :cheer2: Here is his Short Program from that competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsGos3N5J6M

Same here! I love to listen to the show while working on my sewing projects. Can’t wait for the next show - NHK and the return of the Shib Sibs! :)

I’m shocked at the rumors. If true, I wonder what happened with those two?? We haven’t had an exciting rivalry in Ice Dance since D/W and V/M, in my opinion. I miss both teams so much! Those truly were the days!
