I think this is an un-paywalled version https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/weddings/matt-jacoby-s-ice-dance-partner-alydia-livingston-was-on-flight-5342-now-the-16-year-old-skates-in-her-honor/ar-AA1LSimM

I agree, but those smaller older arenas can also be difficult to book. Looking at the ones in my region, even those that don't have a resident sports team in a league (like minor league hockey or indoor soccer) seem to be doing quite well with concerts and other events like home improvement...

Part of it is also venue availability - not just for skating but for other events, like concerts, that are booked into arenas. USFS isn't just competing for availability with other events that need ice.

I'm not sure that a song with the lyrics "reach out and touch me" is a good choice for F-B/C given the, um, history of how this team was formed.

@FSWer do you mean in a competition, in a test, in a show, or in a class? Because those could all be different programs.

The ISU using AI :scream: The expression that comes to mind is GIGO - garbage in, garbage out. The ISU can't even format its systems to do basic things like @kwanfan1818 suggests, like cutting off or rejecting marks that exceed a maximum. I seriously doubt if it could train an AI model to...

The Guardian says that it was postponed because of a request from the family. The cynical side of me wonders if Sharon got into some kind of business dispute with someone involved with the film. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/aug/19/bbc-delayed-ozzy-osbourne-documentary-family-request

@FSWer no, a background check isn't required. But skaters don't just trust their coach, when they're looking for a partner. There is a lot of gossip in skating, and skaters will usually know a lot about other skaters already. Or they will ask other people, if they want to find out more about...

The website misspells "heel" as "heal".....

The rinks I go to have hockey camps, and hockey tournaments too. They usually only run for a couple of days each time. The figure skating ice and public skates get cancelled, but it's usually only for a day or two.

@FSWer ice dance isn't just moving around however you feel to music while you're on the ice. Every ice dancer starts out by learning compulsory dances (pattern dances). All of those dances have steps that you have to follow, and you have to do the steps in time to the correct music for the...

I'm just glad to be skating.

Wanting ALL the examples of inappropriate commentary, with EXACT quotes and sources, is worth the (small) investment in a paid membership, if it's that important to collect this information.

This is a lot to ask on your very first post on a forum. FSU has a search function (magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of the page). A lot of posters here are very diligent about providing links or contextual info with their comments. You could use the search function yourself to...

It looks like Skate Canada has made a decision on the complaint about Jamie McGrigor (coach in BC). His case listing in the Abuse-Free Sport Registry was updated last week to indicate a three-month suspension and "education". https://registry.abuse-free-sport.ca/registry.php?mode=2
