All well and good, but it’s still Turandot, and we’ve still heard it a million times in skating. Very underwhelmed by the music choices announced so far.

Glorious. Michael is in his element, for sure. Come to think of it, wouldn’t Sunset Boulevard be a great FD choice for Chock & Bates? Chock really excels as a dance actress!

Agreed that Baker’s and Reed’s work has been outstanding, and I’ve been impressed with the work Cizeron has done for Shun Sato. Of course, Sato deserves a lot of the credit as well—working with Cizeron has really seemed to make him a better skater.

You take all the fun out of things. Savitsky seems open to participating in drama, and one positive, at least he wouldn’t be able to marry Flores for citizenship as…that ship has already sailed for her

I hate these “pre-announcement” things. Just tell us already

I LOVE that for Green & Parsons. From your mouth to God’s ear.

Boy Bands and Spice Girls?

If you’re there at Worlds, and chatting with those who might know about future events, could you see if you can unearth any clues as to where Skate America will be? Thanks!

Sold. Good luck

No surprise there. I wish they could have sent Jimmy Ma, though. Nothing against Jason but—the class and character Jimmy Ma has shown in the last couple of months, is remarkable.

That’s amazing! Lord knows I have many complaints about Peacock, but in this instance, they got it right. Bravo!

It’s a shame, too. I love to see the flags of the competitors’ home nations flying as they are introduced and as they take their bows, and I think the competitors appreciate it, too—especially when they are far from home, competing in a foreign country.

Food. I don’t see food excluded :) A sandwich, pack of cheese and crackers, bag of trail mix, etc, goes a long way at events like this!
