Public pressure and paparazzi led to the death of Princess Diana. Other celebrities put a lot of money and energy into maintaining privacy; that might include security if the person is prominent and vulnerable to a greedy and insatiable public. He's under a microscope far more than am I. I...

US teams won't be displaced when they skate well. That's how competition works. Davis and Smolkin are but one more team in the competition.

To me, that group of ice dancers lived in a paradise....everyone with similar passion and skill, being friends AND elite competitors. Their connections with each other (showing up in fun and respect and honesty) are as strong as their dancing. And so many greats are leaving......oh my. Wish...

I just read on her instagram that she announced her retirement. She says she's given skating 11 years, that's she's happy with what she accomplished, and is moving on with her life. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIvaQlvpZd/

I encourage you to listen to "Scott Hamilton Talks With. . ." I see that this internet interview series has already been discussed; it's worth mentioning again. I discovered it last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially this one: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTdgu5B032I> where 3...

Thank you for that link. The moves in the field action starts after 12:50.

Happy New Year, everyone. In Brian Orser's lovely interview, done by Jackie Wong, at the GPF 2018. . . .Mr Orser mentions Yuzuru and Javier doing basic skating moves during practice at Pyeonchang, as they always do at their home club. I would LOVE to see any clip of this. I remember seeing...

**** I love this: Q: (when asked) to evaluate her chances of winning Grand Prix (final), Elizaveta joked and said that she “will bring back Gold only if she burgles a jewelry store in Vancouver”. M: I think it is the smartest thing she said so far on the internet.

I first met Adam in about 1999, at the Old York Road Skating Rink. For seven years, Adam, my daughter and I had the same coach and were like a family. He was learning triples while I was learning halfs. He was always an articulate, courteous, observative, and personable young man. I've loved...
