MIDA's two top teams, Green/Parsons and Brattie/Sommerville appear to be struggling this season. Do we think the behind the scenes drama (in the School) is affecting them? Will we see one or both these teams seek a new training base soon?

Piper & Paul won in Canada but with a very low score (and they were beaten in the Free by Reed & Ambrulevicius). I did not see the broadcast (only the protocols). I wonder what happened. Piper & Paul scores would place them in about 5th or 6th of the seasons best so far.

What happened with Green/Parsons? They withdrew before the Free Dance. Is Michael ok?

With so many Grand Prix changes recently, any chance of Naumov or Sanchez getting a 2nd Grand Prix?

Congratulations to Jason Brown for his Silver Medal at the Trialeti Trophy Challenger! https://results.vistream.com.pl/FS/2526/CSGEO2025/CAT001RS.htm Congratulations to Tomoki Hiwatashi for his Bronze Medal at the Trialeti Trophy Challenger!

I think they are plenty dynamic (they skate with speed and intensity and I like the chemistry between them) but I just don't like the programs that Barbara has given them. I hope they consulted outside choreographers for this Olympic season.

I agree with the sentiment that Guignard/Fabbri have never had good programs, so recycling something old will just continue this trend. I want to see them skate the best programs of their careers for this home Olympics. I want something memorable.

Is there any chance that Guignard/Fabbri might come up with some good programs this year? Also, do we know anything about the programs that Gilles/Poirier are doing?

If Caroline and Michael would just take out "I'm too sexy," their edit would be just fine and they are far from the only team/competitor with a janky music edit this competitive season. As far as music edits done right, I love all the different edits in Starr's "Girls" Short Program. I also...

Congratulations to Tomoki Hiwatashi for his Bronze Medal at the Kinoshita Cup Challenger! He was the highest placing American man at the competition! I got misty-eyed watching Tomoki skate his LP. It was the best that I have seen from Tomoki in years! Perhaps, he wants that 3rd spot for the...

Fournier-Beaudry/Cizeron RD did not look finished to me. I was shocked by the lack of close holds, the distance between them and the amount of two foot skating in it. There were places where they came to dead stop and just posed or vogued with their arms, which is a huge weakness. I don't think...
