No parallel will be exact because history is unrepeatable. But there is certainly evidence to show the Olympics are often unpredictable. (Go Anna!)

OK, 2006 then. How many predicted Arakawa would win? Real Q as I was a new skating fan back then and missed the leadup gossip. I was only on Sasha's fan site at the time IIRC.

I think she's wearing butt pads.

Hubby and I had our little Thanksgiving dinner. He was happy with his turkey loaf. My popovers stuck to the pan and I have no idea why. Otherwise they were tasty but not as delectable as I remembered them. My big achievement, and I do mean big, was the carrot cake, my first one and a total...

Your menu sounds amazing. Did you invent chestnut ice cream? It sounds wonderful. My sister served this dish a couple Thanksgivings ago and it was fabulous. https://damndelicious.net/2015/10/07/cinnamon-pecan-roasted-butternut-squash/ Hubby and I are keeping it very basic - turkey loaf...

That presence was back in spades for the New York, NY program (which seemed so bizarre at first). Haven't seen her free at IdF yet. But it's as if she just came out of a dark basement to star in Cabaret. It's been a long time since she looked like the Alena of two seasons ago. Welcome back, kid!

I wonder what her living conditions will be - surely her father isn't picking up and moving the whole family to Colorado just in time for winter - and I really hope just the move and training change won't throw her off. Crappy timing, dad.

^ She sure is setting up some high expectations. Actually I think that is good psychologically for Daisuke. I love the way she talks about him. It's interesting how she pins everything on their free dance and has almost nothing to say about the rhythm dance which got a lot more attention here...

New Interview with Zueva by Elena Vaitsekhovskaya rt.com, 11/19/21 https://russian.rt.com/sport/article/929115-zueva-takahasi-muramoto-bayaderka - I don't even know what to congratulate you on: on such a loud debut of your pair in Tokyo or on the return to the world of big figure skating. In a...

Reviving this thread from 9 pages back: Alena was fantastic in the SP at IdF! She performed that skate like a million dollars. Great GOE all around - I could hardly believe my eyes but she's back in the mix, at least for today. Hoping she finds that 3A for the free skate.

For what it's worth, Tim Koleto became a Japanese citizen last year.

They shouldnt forget the sheepskin coats either.

Anyone know the diff between ropes and rents? 🤣 (Heck, I forgot how to do quotes. Haven't done it since before ^***^?

Nice comments by Evgenia and Vladimir about each other here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWNIQubI25z/ (Maybe I'm missing something, but I can only link this post from the Instagram website while I can only get a translation from the app. So open this in the app if you aren't a Russian speaker!)

Also Kana is back to shinimg like the star she is. She looks as light as a feather in those lifts (well, except when he dumps her on his shoulder in the choreo lift). These two programs are perfect for the Olympics. They're just beautiful to watch. I predict many invitations to shows will be...
