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

I wish them luck, but am not automatically assuming that they will rocket to the top of the very crowded US ice dance field. They have not competed in seven years and the field has moved on quite a bit; nowadays teams that rely on good, precise technique, rather than flash, are not as favored as...

He also had positive things to say about them on Peacock’s practice cam broadcast.

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!

Please see my post, just above yours! I have an all-event ticket I now cannot use.

I’ve not been to the Aquarium, but I’ve been to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stuart Gardner, and I would recommend both very highly.

I have an all-event ticket for Worlds to sell. Section 19, row 14, aisle seat. No gala. PM me if interested—a few people have already reached out, and I will be asking for highest and best offer. Thank you!

Also, Isabeau is half-Italian, and has said in interviews that she is looking forward to skating there. She may have asked for the assignment, for all we know!
