You have to think teams 'would' plan ahead. If it's my last or even first Olympic season, you know I'm going to play to my strengths, and at least have concepts and music picked out in advance. Harder to do with RD themes, but you've got some advance notice enough. I feel like the Whale and even...

Especially after the non-costume issues at the Olympics for them. The awful collision and falls going into the spin in the FD 18 and the slip in the rut by Chock in the RD 22. Don't tempt fate.

To be accurate, they did those things, but it was more like 3-4 seasons before that happened to regain the top status. They still had a couple of seasons with Igor after falling off the World podium, before going to IAM. The point is. It takes time to climb up in ice dance, but only a few bad...

Yes. But it took 5-6 years to come back. We all know the Italians don’t have that luxury of time.

To be fair, Chock/Bates started winning gold again internationally when the dance field cleared out wide open after the ‘22 Olympics. They fell in the standings along with Weaver/Poje and Capellini/Lanotte leading into the 18 games. Between ‘18-22 they were top 3-4. They had a span of 6...

I recall G/F doing some odd tempo manipulations for Holding Out For a Hero and a butchering of Against All Odds. I just hope they come out fully baked and approved. They can’t afford any missteps if they want to … podium against all odds.

Apparently none of the ice dancers or their coaches read FSU or take it seriously. BC I recall us collectively having incredible ideas for song suggestions. We give them greatness and they give us dozens of BSB, Ricky Martin and other meh jock jams/kidz bop rejects. :D

I read this as blast ‘You Outta Know’ from Alanis Morrisette. Which is also fitting. He should know better.

If you are boking separate hotels, and want to be close to the Centene Ice Center, St Charles is about 10 minutes from the rink. It has a charming downtown. There are several hotels, including the Drury Inn which is clean and nice enough. Plus free breakfast. There’s also the Hollywood Casino...

As much as I'd like the Shibs to skate to something besides Coldplay, I think many of the posters are mis-remembering how very little Fix You was used in the 17-18 Paradise FD. They had a musical phrase in from Fix You on the GP series, and then added lyrics/music in for Nats and Olympics. From...

EDIT: Just saw @Debbie S post above. Is there a resale? I didn't know that was a possibility. I have tickets to a hockey game I'd like to unload. In the initial ticket grab way back when, I got tickets for Speed Skating/Men's Short, Free Dance, Hockey Game, Men's Free. Then we booked our...

Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate the fact we are talking about Barbara, Marina, and Marie-France in the same sentence as Shaggy/Mr. Boombastic? That was not on my bingo card. Ever.

We know you are Team Spencer 100%, but help me understand the fabulous trolling game part? For one, they spelled it Spenser. I’d hope my longtime coach could spell my name correctly. If they really wanted to troll, they’d post death spiral clips. Instead of SBS jumps in practice we haven’t...

Wait. Wouldn’t Tomoki only get one if he replaces Lucas and then he’s off the alternates list? Therefore not eligible for a second spot at Finlandia?

Totally agree we FS fans are fickle. We cry out for NO warhorses, give us something new and different. And when we get new and different - it's usually - NO we don't like that. Stick with what you know.
