I mean, I agree to an extent. But for certain soundtracks like 'Schindler's List's, 'Jaws', and 'Jurassic Park', I'm always going to see that doomed little girl in red, one determined hungry shark, and a T-Rex trying to chase down jeeps...no matter how differently a skater tries to interpret...

I have faith in my Canadian ice cousins up North! Look at what a pleasant surprise Stephen Gogalev has turned out to be on the men's side! I've always liked him but I'm a total fan now! Anything is possible! I'm still Team Maddie, she's my fave and fierce Canadian Ice Queen but I will always...

Can't wait to see them all in Orlando when I visit my mom next month!

Goodness, it even sounds posh and exclusive! 'The Cricket Club'. :drama:👑:D I feel the same about Maddie as I do with Amber, Bradie and yes, even Jason in his turn. If no one else has stepped up, why are we in such an all fire hurry to be rid of the tried and true, hoping that they'll retire...

I think that by July Alysa's boot problems had begun, and continued for what seemed a large chunk of the season. That also hampered her optimum on ice training. And unfortunately, she also had the further tragedy-based distraction of having to drop her new SP just as the season was beginning...

According to Alysa she trains at most 3 hours a day. She hasn't trained under some crazy schedule since before she retired. And if I trust anyone at their word, it's Alysa. She's stated repeatedly that she loves to compete and that she'll be back next season. Until she states otherwise for...

I feel that Amber should continue competing for as long as she wants to. If it makes her happy just in the trying, that is entirely her choice. Most athletes don't medal at a Worlds or Olympics anyway. And Amber did win an Olympic gold medal in the Team event. Also, apart from Alysa and...

Our US boys are halfway there. I think that they'll all do just fine in the FS. ✨🤘🏼😎✨ It sounds like Jacob was having lots of fun snowboarding! ✨🏂🏼✨ That being said, not to be the grumpy auntie, but I think I read that Sarah Everhardt was also not training much leading up to Worlds. Aren't...

True. Fortunately though, Ilia has delivered 15 times in 16, with the exception of his individual Olympic Free Skate. He has come through at his GP events, Worlds, and the Olympic Team event. Actually, I forgot that he has also done great at World Team Trophy. Obviously, Max and Jacob are...

Wow and that's from 1978, two years after Dorothy's Olympics! That's some pretty good staying power for a figure skater! 😁

Thank you so much for all of the info on Dorothy and Peggy! I watched the USA Today podcasts with Brian Boitano and Brennan. I really enjoyed the one with Dorothy! Of course they discussed her famous hairstyle, including an apparent endorsement of a 'Short and Sassy' shampoo! 😁 A bit OT, but I'm...

It truly is amazing! Again I say Go Alysa! Get those endorsements! 🤑💰 💰💰 I've been wondering about this but, for anyone who is old enough to remember, was it this (seemingly) big as far as this huge mainstream fame for earlier Olympic champions like Dorothy Hamill, Peggy Fleming? I have read...

Yeah, just as you said - to each their own! We're in complete disagreement on the 1992 Men's event! Whatevs!

So do I. I also still think that Alysa should have been in the Team event over Karen Chen in 2022.

OT but I remember learning about the Jackie Coogan law due to my Addams Family fandom as a kid (and which continues to this day through the "Wednesday" Netflix series)! Iirc, Coogan played the role of Uncle Fester in the original 1960 tv show but long before that he was a child movie star in the...
