I really enjoyed the programs I watched - its interesting to see how innovative the skaters can be in twizzle positions when they don't also have to worry about matching with a partner. Alana Pang particularly had fantastic choreo slide & twizzle elements.

OK, I usually feel I'm pretty in the loop, but I have no idea why Julia Sebestyen shouldn't be talked about. Mark was way too gushing in the RD, but had toned it down a lot for the FD - presumably as a result of the vocal feedback he was getting on twitter. I do wonder how much guidance he got...

Sure, but in the UK you'd be expected to do the exact same after a week of sickness leave.

We get the waltz again BUT every team skates to Lover.

It is 'inherently implausible' that an athlete at this elite level would take a homemade strawberry dessert with her across Russia and eat it during a competition period. :rofl:

Lambiel had quite a few successful mid-season switches as well as Drailon which was already mentioned. 2004-05 - FS switch from The Truman Show to King Arthur for Worlds - his first world title 2006-07 - Original SP was Geissel Drama, and I think the only video is of a disastrous outing at...

I got to 5 "full" crossovers before the first jump, so I am highly sceptical that there's only one more in the whole program. But I have presents to wrap and mince pies to eat rather than doing any more counting. :40beers:

Age of consent in England & Wales is 16. So not underaged.

Why would Kate think she deserves as many family members invited as Camilla, when Camilla was actually being crowned?

Has she read any Diana Wynne Jones? Chrestomanci & Howl's Moving Castle are the best known ones, but at 12 she'd also be ready to try the Dalemark Quartet (fantasy in a medieval-type society with teenagers getting caught up in power struggles between warring earls and Undying Gods) or Fire &...

The ISU stream appears to be unblocked for the UK now!

I can't find the exact tweet, but Starr mentioned at SC that she'd had another heart surgery over the summer. So frankly, 1980s content or not, I think what she put down this weekend was pretty impressive.

@tony while I completely agree with your overall point about the majority of dance fans not understanding most of the technical requirements, having negative GOE on an element while still fulfilling the requirements for a level 4 is perfectly plausible ;) Whether most people could tell you why...

Ana & Luke have been added to Skate America today :) https://www.isu.org/docman-documents-links/isu-files/event-documents/figure-skating-4/2023-24/grand-prix-4/entries-8/31417-pairs-4/file Hope they can handle the short notice & build on their great FS from the Autumn Classic!

Well, if GB men & women are going to both have an event with multiple falls, hopefully they all happen this year rather than next....
