    2025-26 US Pairs Discussion - Milano-Bound By Way of Beijing & St. Louis

    I 100% agree! And I thank you, @Karen-W, for writing it and giving me a chance to re-experience my feelings of outrage ... and my convictions ... about the USFS pushing ShiNagy at the expense of the teams who were outperforming S/N and much more deserving. Like VGThuy said, your post was...

    The influence of deceased friends and relatives while skating

    Scott Hamilton wrote in his first book that he was a serial under-achiever until he lost his mother. Then he wanted to prove that he could do and be all that she believed he could. Jane Seymour's mother died in the middle of her competing on Dancing With the Stars. After competing the next...

    2025-26 US Pairs Discussion - Milano-Bound By Way of Beijing & St. Louis

    @VGThuy : Absolutely agree 😍 I keep watching Emily and Spencer's Olympic FS over and over. It's so much more than a lot of great technical elements, although it IS that, too. But I feel like the technical elements are in service of the connection, the beauty, and the interpretation of the...

    yes but jet lag is harder on your body when you fly west to east, instead of going with the sun. Let's all cheer for Emily and Spencer to allow their positive feelings carry them through and give a great performance in Lake Placid!

    Russian figure skating news in 2024 & 2025

    I just re-read my copy of Adam Rippon's memoir, Beautiful on the Outside. I pretty much laughed on every page; it's a very fun read, and he's funny, but not mean to anyone. One of his running jokes throughout the book is tallying up how many Russian coaches have called him fat. Starting when...

    2025–26 Canadian Pairs: News and Updates

    From reading the whole interview, it sounded to me like she was more interested in saying how many ways she and Maxime are making history (and as I said, I dislike numbers inaccuracy, so if she's gonna make a claim referencing the ages of other pairs women, she oughta get it right :)) She...

    So here's a quote from Deanna from Rob Brodie's interview: "“Maxime and I have the opportunity to make a lot of history this year because of my age, because of his age, our combined age. And you know, the next youngest girl to me is 18 years younger. That was the next oldest girl compared to me...
