    U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

    Yes! Benoit has had some epic misses. But when he hits with a skater he can really transform them. I think he really transformed Kaori back in the day when her programs were all wrong for her.

    U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

    I am happy the U.S. women did well enough to retain the three spots. But truthfully bummed that neither Amber nor Isabeau could maintain or improve on their positions after the short program. They are both right in there for the medals anytime they deliver. Love the idea Isabeau decided to up...

    The Amber Glenn Realness Appreciation Fan Page

    @ANL drive down to the Springs to the World Arena! Only an hour + depending on where you are in Denver. Straight shot on I-25 South to Circle Drive/Broadmoor exit. 😉

    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    Lucius has had a great season this year. He’s proven to be pretty consistent. I’ll be excited to follow his progress in the coming year. So glad he moved up the standings as much as he did at Junior Worlds and helped get those spots. Always love watching Jacob skate. Such overall quality...

    Chock & Bates [fan thread #2]: "All Paths Have Led to This Moment"

    Could not have said it better @Taso. That program makes me sob cry every time I see it. The music is gorgeous and moving. It evokes something we may all eventually feel deeply if we live long enough. One of my all time favorite exhibition programs. I’m one who is not tired of it after two...

    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    I’m a little confused by what RAF was saying. Is it that the adults should not have let him attempt that crazy content in the free skate? Plus all of the top three men after the short program with the highest expectations to medal really melted down not just Ilia.

    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    Browning and Chan are two of my all-time favorites, in addition to Ilia. Each Olympics I wonder and worry what crazy result is going to ensue. It’s tough being a figure skating fan sometimes. I like what Deanna Stellato said that nothing can break your heart like figure skating.

    U.S. Men 2025-26 Discussion - Quad God and the Mere Mortals

    I’ve heard Ilia say repeatedly the last few years that the USFS not sending him to Beijing lit a fire in him to prove them wrong and he doesn’t think he would have been as motivated to add all the crazy technical things he has become known for (and that made him a champion) if he had been sent...

    Ilia Malinin Fan Thread!

    Totally a mental pressure thing for Ilia. Heck, as a fan, I felt the pressure/nerves pretty unbearable myself 🤣 Like I posted elsewhere, I want to send hugs, love and support to Ilia. So many great athletes have had these moments. It’s the risk you take when you dream of Olympic gold all your...

    Maxim Naumov Cheer Thread

    So so happy for Max’s gorgeous short program at the Olympics. Choreographically and musically my favorite men’s short program this season. Just divine!

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    Offering skate sharpening and extra training time would not help the affected ice dancers today. I gotta wonder how much this affected C&B and G&F. At the very least it was a distraction and concern they did not need.
