    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    Before Worlds, I hadn’t watched Glenn except at Nationals, so I wasn’t aware that she went undefeated this season until I heard on the PA during the SP warmup introductions. I remember she’s had very shaky consistency in the past - but after watching her both on practice and competition here, I...

    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    In one word: Yes. That said, she does lean into her jumps quite a bit, which may give the opposite impression when watching on TV.

    2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

    Hmm…I might be misremembering but I do recall they sold clear bags back then that met the size restrictions. I know the NFL and other major sports adopted a clear bag policy around that time or perhaps a little later. It’s possible I may have mixed them up…but in any case, I found the screening...

    2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

    I agree that the general inconsistency here in policy was somewhat frustrating to experience, especially given how smooth, consistent and coordinated it was in 2016. The clear bag policy they had back then I think helped in that regard.

    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    Just want to stop in and say congrats to Liu for breaking a 20 year drought and winning the Worlds. An incredible moment that makes me really glad I made the last-second decision to go! I am REALLY impressed she was able to hold it together being the last skater of the night, at home, following...

    Tickets for sale or wanted

    Still remain on the hunt for any last-minute lower-bowl ticket drops on Ladies events (FS in particular) for another day or so. Thanks in advance!

    2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

    In 2016, I had no issues using a DSLR and 200mm lens. I did have a smaller setup packed as well just in case. Ideally - if you can manage it, it can’t hurt to have both the camera you want to use and a smaller alternative. Then, if they say no to your initial setup, you can fall back on the...

    Tickets for sale or wanted

    I would be if it becomes available and they are willing to split the package for the events I listed above…but if not, and it is sold in full only, I would then have to withdraw my interest as I do not want the other events. All that being said, I hope your situation works out and you are able...

    Tickets for sale or wanted

    Hi all, Just a shot in the dark…but considering Boston Worlds as a “last minute” possibility at this point. Starting to look around for the potential availability of: Ladies FS (1st priority; will consider others below once secured, OR as a bundle) Ladies SP Practice Pass Loge area seating...

    2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

    Just curious on this - is the camera policy going to be similar to 2016 or has that changed too?

    2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

    Hmm. Likely won't be deciding on this until MUCH closer to event time, if I bother at all. In 2016, after the initial booking I individually "upgraded" to closer Loge seating in the weeks leading up to the event (and even at the event itself). Worked well, but was $$$. Thing I liked about that...

    Fans are really getting out of hand

    Wow...so reading the last three or so pages here is bringing back memories. I remember those days on skate forums. Folks really took this stuff seriously back then, that's for sure (and to be honest, I was no exception). I remember there were big fan projects put together for both Tara Lipinski...

    NYC 2018 Bryant Park Tree Lighting Skate-tacular on Tue. December 4 & Dec. 2 ice show at The Rink at Brookfield Place

    Bit late here but I was there (Bryant Park lighting) as well. I missed out on Osmond at Boston Worlds and wanted a chance to see (and photograph) her live. Crowded, but ok. Show was basically same format as last year. Thankfully had a better spot this time though!

    Ashley Wagner Cheer Thread #3: The Subject of Tonight's Lecture...

    Interesting, I stumbled across a tweet from Wagner saying she was doing commentary now and decided to pop in to see if there were any thoughts/first impressions from fans. I don't have any to offer myself as I have not watched her coverage (nor do I particularly wish to). I would like to say...
