Probably. If he and his coaching team see that Ilia and the other international top skaters are being rewarded for their components and "artistry". But Ilia still needs competition from other USA skaters as well. Those younger guys like Sanchez, Blackwell etc have to keep improving so they can...

Ilia needs to decompress for a while. If it were me, I'd stay away from all media for a few days, be surrounded by friends family and coaches and chill. Then make a plan for Worlds if he decides to go. In retrospect, one of the best things Nathan had was a worthy domestic competitor in...

Oh no.. poor Deanna and Max.

Yep! Go Patriots! Glad we have Mike Vrabel back.

ha I'm not part of the Kiss and Cry because of the expense of it; I'll happily comment in the normal part of the forum from now till the end of the season.

I hope they continue on too. They're too good to get lost in the riches of US ice dance. That FD of theirs was stunning.

There has to be various plans for the USA for the tean event. In addition to the poor performance by Jason (will FSU explode?) there's one variable yet to consider. The Olympics are notorious for athletes getting sick and spreading their illlnesses and germs to each other. Remember Vincent Zhou...
