Congratulations to Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito for being named onto the Olympic team. All three women have worked so incredibly hard to emblazon their names into the history books. I cannot believe that I have watched Isabeau since she was at the intermediate level. Now, she is an...

Congratulations to the new U.S. junior women champion: Angela Shao. Angela made her Junior Grand Prix debut this season, scoring 170.68 which was about 3 points off the bronze medal. In a stellar free skate, Angela landed seven triples and scored a whopping 187.44 points. Annika Chao and Hannah...

The promo for the U.S. women has been crazy, especially by mainstream media outside of local and/or sports news outlets. Whatever happens come Sunday, the past quad has been one for the history books. Not only did we witness the rise of Amber Glenn, we also watched athletes like Bradie Tennell...

The return of the triple Axel! I wished Jimmy introduced Alysa as the REIGNING World Champion though.

Debuting a new program at the Olympics would be the craziest and most Alysa thing to do. I cannot say that I'm not stressed for her but time and time again, Alysa has proven her mettle.

She will most likely (and should) withdraw and her spot will go to Elyce.

I think Isabeau has a chance to get a triple Axel. If she continues and tries for 2030, she will probably train one. Now is not the time. Likewise, I think Sarah can get the triple Axel or quad Toe.

Isabeau, Sarah, and Bradie are up against Mone and Ami this week at Skate Canada. Based on average scores thus far, both Mone and Ami surpass the three. However, Isabeau has been on an incline with her scores, having scored 207 in both of her Challenger events and then a 212 in France. As for...

To put Isabeau’s score of 212.71 into perspective, she would have won gold at 4/6 of the Grand Prix events last season and silver at the other two. She would have also won gold at the Grand Prix Final. Isabeau is on an incline, consistently improving her score with each outing. I would not be...

With the Junior Grand Prix nearing it's closure with only one more stop left, here is a list of the top scoring junior women. 1. Sophie Joline Von Felten, 190.67 (JGP Poland) 2. Annika Chao, 175.75 (JGP Italy) 3. Sofia Bezkorovainaya, 173.50 (JGP Turkey) 4. Angela Shao, 170.68 (JGP Latvia) 5...

Congratulations to Isabeau and Sophie on their Cranberry Cup victories. For reference, Isabeau's August score is roughly two points below her Boston showing (209.84). I also want to take the opportunity to highlight some of the up and coming novice skaters who demonstrated grit and quality...

Emilia Nemirovsky skated lights out at her National Qualifying Series competition at the Dupage FSC Open Competition. She competed two clean programs and scored 195.87 which is the highest domestic score (junior or senior) thus far and it will be difficult to match or supersede. Unfortunately...

For those wondering about Ava, she recently posted several videos on TikTok about her skating. On one of her videos, she captioned it, "New program core." This probably means she just recently got back on the ice. I hope she takes her recovery as deliberately and cautiously as possible. She...
