I agree that was magical. I was utterly impressed with that FD. And I really agree with your statement about program choice. I personally love warhorses and movie soundtracks. I am not a purist. And much of the audiences at events are as I am, I want to be moved and excited by what I see and...

So very impressed with the continued excellence of CarPon. Expression was off the chart in the FD. So happy to see them just keep getting better. Telling my age but I have been an Ice Dance fan since 1980 and back then we were lucky to see our National Champions on TV, much less the lesser...

I saw it. I was immediately impressed by the humbleness. They have made their place in Ice Dance history and worthy followers of B/A and D/W in US Ice Dance especially.

So many men from the past I have admired and cheered on. Ilia is just the best ever to me now. Watching his exhibition was breathtaking. He is just making history every time he takes the ice. What a special young man.

"I will never understand that GilPoi FD although I’ve liked the Procol Harem version for 50 years. " (Quote from PRLady.) oh my gosh...I am so ashamed to admit this because I was a 70s teen, but I always thought The Moody Blues did that song! :duh:

Isn't Judy Blumberg the tech specialist? She's always brutal on the calls. And for me it's LaLa, CarPon, and Z/K for the great skates. Always usually is. You all talking about Worlds...how about the Brits and the Italians? I don't think it's a given for C/B (which it shouldn't be anyway) or G/P...

I agree with most of it but I think Chan/Howe are done...flip 1st and 2nd alt for Worlds.

Look at Tai! I love it! She and Randy were the reason I started watching figure skating in 1979! Oh I have such mixed emotions...Gold and Silver looked thrilled and Bronze and Pewter sooo disappointed. It hurts my heart. But I will say, I love Danny and Ellie but Alisa and Misha were...

Me too. Like, in the bed, feeling like death!

There are a bunch of viruses this winter season...Flu A&B, Covid, norovirus (stomach). Almost everyone I know has had something. I was taking a stroll down memory lane in my mind...I liked Chock when she and Greg were juniors, I liked Bates when he was with Samuelson...but somehow C/B didn't...

I would think so. He built US Ice Dance back in the 90s. I remember it well.

Just stopping by to say I loved Ellie and Danny. Far and away the best. I will say I am happy with the current crop of Sr Pairs for the US. Much improvement.

Norovirus (stomach bug) is currently making the rounds all over. I had it 2 weeks ago, felt like death for 2 days...

C/P and Z/K are my picks for top of the USA teams at this time. And I still mourn that Haw/Baker never got their time to really shine. Will always enjoy their programs. I know C/B will probably continue to stay at the top but they feel like the old guard and they can retire happily with their...

And oh my gosh, did he ever do it! I have never seen such an amazing skate. Ilia is WORLD CHAMPION!
