Well, US, Japanese and European ladies from respectively Olympic and European Championships decades ago were discussed, so why can't the junior US men join the OT party too? ????

Thank you! ? I've been watching the interview between babysitting my 2 year old grandniece, so it's been sort of stop and start lol! ? I'm about halfway through, and just got to the part where Boomer is asking Alysa about the Chinese government spying incident on her dad, and all of those...

She really is a delightful young lady. I'm especially thrilled to hear that Alysa wants to put the triple Axel back into her arsenal for the Olympic season! I hope that she gets it consistent and fully rotated (well, ALL of her triples actually)! I can't wait to see her new programs! I'm so...

It IS sad, and rather disheartening, all of these pairs teams breaking up, even some before getting to junior or senior level. ?

Not to mention the money. So many families sacrifice so much, take second and even third jobs, just so that their child can participate in a very expensive sport that they love - unless you come from a country where such sports are state subsidized. But even then, no one wants to see their...

Jeez! As far back as 1998 and STILL allowed to judge for years after! Smh. ??‍♀️

Under the umbrella of suspicion, imo NONE of the remaining three should be permitted to judge at the Olympics or Worlds. I know that the IOC oversees Olympic events but the ISU assigns the judges. And all three for sure should be watched very carefully at other events. This is the kind of...

Frankly the only 'Godfather' programs that I can remember were by Phillipe Candeloro and his brilliant take on that theme in both of his programs way back in the 90s'! I'm sure that there have been a few by others since, but I can't think of any. ??‍♀️

Perhaps. Or perhaps they would! Speaking for myself, I would be delighted!

Well, we can agree on Isabeau and disagree on the rest!

Perhaps, although imo Alysa's programs were also magical in their third and final outing at WTT, in spite of the fact that the audience's energy was nothing like at Worlds! And they haven't been seen by an Olympic audience!

OK, now I'm REALLY getting excited for the Olympic season! The loop in that combo often gets dinged when skaters try it, but Alysa's looks like it's all the way around on both tries! She's often said this past season that she could be 'so much better', and she can! Not just with her ever...

I love both of Ilia and Alysa's programs and would be happy if each kept their programs respectively. If all goes well for Alysa, I can totally see an Olympic audience rocking out to her "MacArthur's Park Suite". For Ilia, I feel that an Olympic audience will be especially looking out for his...

I can't help but feel that for the Olympic GP season, USFS will want to avoid pitting Amber against a recharged Alysa as much as possible

Nancy's shoot the duck to arms up double Lutz was always impressive. I remember her performances more clearly from the 1994 Olympic season so it was interesting to watch her 1992 program. I love Jill Trenary's hands by her hips double flip variation too. Back OT I missed Ilia's Today show...
