This celebration has been so heart-warming, it has Oakland representation through and through. So proud.

I think every skater goes through a "sophomore slump." Sarah had a breakout senior debut, nabbing a championship medal to cap off a stellar season. Unfortunately for Sarah, she experienced her sophomore slump during the Olympic season. If she can add a triple Axel to her repertoire this upcoming...

I am excited to see how Sarah fares on the biggest stage of her career thus far. She seemed really excited about this opportunity and her last event, Four Continents, was not her best during the free skate. I also think Isabeau will be coming in with a desire to end the season on her terms...

What a masterclass showing from all of the athletes in the women's discipline. An incredible evening of figure skating marked by half of the competitors either earning their personal best or season's best total scores. From the first flight to the last, the entertainment value was through the...

Something tells me she'll be adding the triple Axel this upcoming season. She did say she cannot see herself stopping soon. I would not be shocked to see her in 2030.

Sophie Joline von Felten will also be senior eligible and, based on her interviews at Nationals, will be moving up internationally. Her average score is 178.13 (junior events).

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.
