    The Skating Lesson

    YouTube has a list of things that if you say them, your video gets demonitized. He must have hit on one of those topics/wording that caused the demonetization. I don’t know specifically what the words/topics are but it could have been “abortion” as I know anything too sexual in nature (and...

    Keeping Track of Criminal Cases & SafeSport Suspensions in Skating

    Maybe it was the last time FB/S we’re competing ever and they wanted to end their coaching relationship on a good note? I have no idea. I’ve been giving IAM a bit of leeway this season as they must have a contract in place to provide coaching services to Nik and Lolo through the end of the...

    Gold on Gold: Lajoie & Lagha Cheer thread!

    Saw them live at Worlds and they were SO good. Amazed!! They had the best programs of all the teams this season and nailed everything. Their twizzles were by far the fastest and cleanest of the competition as well. Congrats LaLa! Can’t wait to see what you bring us next season.

    Keeping Track of Criminal Cases & SafeSport Suspensions in Skating

    Yes. There is a huge bond with Nik and Lolo and MFD. Nik was MFD’s first international student and they had Lolo picked out for him as soon as he arrived (although he went against their wishes and chose to skate with Vanessa Crone at first.)

    Will there be a US Nationals in 2025?

    Palm Desert would be awesome. My DH and I have been saying that for a couple of years now. :rollin:

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    Knowing she is dealing with cancer with 3 small children and the psychological impact that brings, I really don’t believe now that Kate had anything at all to do with that Mother’s Day photo incident beyond taking the blame for it. :(

    Royalty thread #15: A New Era

    I think they had to make some type of announcement considering they set everything up initially (when they didn’t know about the cancer) as Kate being back to duties “after Easter” and that clearly will not happen. I do think the announcement will help and hope she was able to make the...

    Keeping Track of Criminal Cases & SafeSport Suspensions in Skating

    Reasons to retire: He’s 35. His body is breaking down (already had a serious knee surgery). They have already been to Olympics (their goal) and are unlikely to medal at the next one. Been to Montreal Worlds (this year’s goal.) I was expecting them to retire and start coaching at IAM post...

    Will there be a US Nationals in 2025?

    I read that Quad Cities is aggressively targeting events for their area. So could be?

    Will there be a US Nationals in 2025?

    My guesses: Moline, Illinois Fort Wayne, Indiana Do I win a prize if I’m right? :lol: ETA Grand Forks North Dakota is my third guess. They had the World Junior Hockey recently.

    2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

    It only takes that long if you are going to South East Asia. Montreal - Tokyo is only 12 hours I’m guessing the South Korea team are connecting to Toronto and doing the direct flight to Seoul (about 12 hours.)

    2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

    I felt like the pizza was the only edible thing on the menu. :lol: The chicken strips, fries and hotdogs weren’t appealing. It helps if you get it fresh and hot. It filled a hole anyway.

    2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

    I checked Ticketmaster yesterday for today’s events (Saturday) and there was any tons available and there was a significant line at the Box office yesterday so maybe? It would make sense that Saturday would be the most full day as locals not working now and perhaps many Quebecers came for the...
