But Tara wouldn't have had the big paycheck that came with winning the Olympic gold medal. The American press used to make such a big deal about how the American lady favorite at the Olympic must walk away with the gold medal around her neck in order to nail that million dollar contract once she...

I don't think the fashion police would've liked the placement of the bottom rose, LOL.

Agree. I do like the vampire music, and they have some neat choreographic moments throughout the program: the entrance into the pair spin, Deanna's flying arms movement on one of the lifts and her facial expression during the lifts, but I do agree on the criticism for their lack of speed...

This particular recap was unwatchable to me. DL was all over the place.

Have you heard Luther Vandross's version ? I love it.

The same thing with Nathan's LP at the 2021 World. There was almost no choreography for 2/3 of the program until he let loose at the final footwork during the last few seconds of the program. But Nathan did have better body lines, and I liked his music better than 'Succession'. As awesome as...

I don't want to see backflip in competitive programs. How does that push the sport ? And it adds nothing artistically. There should be a greater point penalty for a move that is deemed illegal in the ISU rule book.

I'm sure the other U.S. men 100% want it, but the body doesn't always do what the mind wants. Ilia was awesome. He set such a high technical standard at this year's World that even he himself might have trouble matching for the next two years. I bet he wants to put the 4flip back into his LP...

Did anyone really enjoy the "Ken" musical number ? I had read some early rave reviews so I eagerly watched it on utube. Disappointing! I thought it was a somewhat incoherent and overproduced mess. I couldn't even hear Ryan's vocal during parts of it. I just don't get why people seem so excited...

I don't think the Duchesnays was a top quality team. Without Chris Dean's choreography we would not remember the Duchesdays much at all. Did Dean choreographed all of their amateur numbers up to the Olympics ? The WSS had some unique elements but they did not have the skills to pull the...

I remember Plushy's tilted jumps and scratchy, no speed landings in 2010. The spins were the same. So no, Plushy was not better in 2010 than he was in 2006. He thought he deserved the gold simply because he stood up on a quad jump. Thankfully, skating judging didn't and don't work that way...

Repeated as National Champion. Won a some Grand Prix competitions this year in addition to the GPF. Other than those then yup, "without any championship title" at all. Zilch. Nothing. Nada.

Santee was an inexperienced K&C interviewer hired for the 88 Games. Jim McKay, the ABC Wild World of Sport long time journalist, repeatedly spoke into Santee's earpiece that "he finished second" as Santee was talking to Orser, so it wasn't a surprised at all that Santee said what he did during...

^ That was a good choice for Evan to ditch Grease. Didn't Jenny Kirk have a ABBA long program one season that was ditched by the time Nationals rolled around ? I want someone to give ABBA another chance.

It's not uncommon that Kevin did not qualify for the LP, especially at this stage of his career ?
