I would say that the answer really varies by country. In the U.S., it wasn't really a thing until... hmm... Ashley Wagner got selected in 2014. Before then, it was simply the case that an "injury petition" could be filed if nationals was missed, but if you showed up at nationals and you did...

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're suggesting, but I will state that I had an Airbnb host cancel at the tenth (not eleventh) hour before a holiday weekend, and I was surprised until I read the reason for it. Airbnb actually responded quite well. It refunded my money, gave me an...

Madison Chock has quite a few titles...

Have there ever been public petitions to the ISU? This seems like a time when something big has to be done to show the ISU how disgusted the public is.

It's quite a task to think of just one. Daisuke is an incredible interpreter of music. Some of his contemporaries should have been left in the dust behind his merited IN scores. For now, I'll enjoy the posts and links :).

Debi's interpretation of the music blows away what Shcherbakova, Trusova, Liu and so many recent skaters have done. What a joy to watch.

Thank you for sharing the Netflix link. I learned quite a bit from the film.

The reason it's the '90s for me is because that's when I began watching and, to date, it was the decade in which I had the most time to devote to following sports without the constraints of work/little to no TV access/etc. I think there's a lot to be said for having the most interest in a time...

Either way of watching works, but I'm unsuccessful attempting to do either ;). Cheers.

I appreciate the links to videos of 2022 Worlds, but here in the U.S., I am getting message that they are not available.

They were spectacular in that short program. I hope they will also be spectacular in the long program :cool:.

Mariah has the "it" factor. So many of the skaters in front of her the past six or so years have not had it. The series of long programs at these Olympics really made that even clearer to me. Mariah's skate had soul, polish, AND joy. Sadly, that's a rare combo in her discipline these days.
