    Holding an Edge: A Documentary About Ting Cui

    Ran across this on YouTube yesterday. She was always one of my up and coming favorites and it was so sad when she was derailed by repeated injury. It would be very exciting if she decided to seriously train again.

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

    I was very happy to see Lucius earn the bronze at the JGPF! He seems to be a pretty consistent competitor. And he did two quads, plus triple axel. The rest of his skating needs major work, which I know he is doing. He is a threat for the Nationals podium given how inconsistent so many top...

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    Alysa is clearly the best bet under extreme pressure. For that same reason I thought USFS should have selected her for the Team event last Olympics instead of Karen Chen. Isabeau is also very good with pressure. Amber to me is the one most susceptible to pressure unfortunately. And her...

    2025-26 US Pairs Discussion - Milano-Bound By Way of Beijing & St. Louis

    I absolutely loved Efimova and Mitrofanov’s Finlandia free skate. Takes me back to the time of beautiful, romantic pair skating. Her positions are so classic and gorgeous…can’t get enough of her in pairs. When they are on, they are just so compelling. Was thinking what a rock Misha is…rarely...

    2025-26 US Pairs Discussion - Milano-Bound By Way of Beijing & St. Louis

    OMG! Not ANOTHER Moulin Rouge program this year. Why, why why??? Is Tessa completely unaware of the plethora of programs using this music this season?? Do they die on the ice at the end too??? :mitchell: :scream:

    2025-26 U.S. Ice Dance News, Updates & Discussion - Backstreet Boys & Spice Girls

    Plus they still want endorsements and media spotlight I would think, so why not continue on to Finlandia??

    My favorite of all the men’s short programs I’ve seen so far! Perfect for him.

    2025-26 U.S. Ice Dance News, Updates & Discussion - Backstreet Boys & Spice Girls

    I never thought the Shibs were super serious about their comeback in the first place. I figured it was an opportunity to make some endorsement money as former Olympic medalists. They did get the Ralph Lauren ad campaign and maybe other endorsements. I think if they had been super serious...

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

    Sigh for Jimmy and Torgy in the NHK short program. It was good to see Raf traveled with Torgy…but it kind of seems Torgy competes extra nervy whenever Raf is at the boards.

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    Just caught the final group of novice women from PAC Sectionals on YouTube. I am loving Rachel Samari. She is such a unique stylist already. And her spins are eye popping….including some of the positions she gets in, as well as the continuous speed. She caught my eye on the Junior Grand Prix...

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    I really enjoyed both JGP Ankara short programs of Sofia and Sophie. Honestly both brought me to tears…and I can’t recall a junior short program ever affecting me emotionally. I’m amazed at how Sofia is channeling the loss of her coach and best friend in the plane crash into her skating so...

    Yet her jump technique looks amazing when her rhythm is on. Camden maybe not so much.
