I like your Dance predictions for the coming season. (y) As a fan of GilPoir, I hope you are correct that they will maintain their current silver medal ranking through the 2026 Olympics. However, we have to be cautious with any predictions until we see how FBCiz & the Shibs perform, as well as...

Why did it work out like that for the dance event in Finland?

Worlds Exhibition Gala will be broadcast on CBC TV on Saturday April 5th at 3:00pm - 5:00pm (ET).

I see. ;) I actually live just outside Ottawa and will likely make the journey over to Gatineau for 2026 Nationals. I was just curious as to why Skate Canada chose Gatineau logistically over Ottawa. Probably less expensive to pay to host it there in terms of the facilities?

I wonder why Skate Canada chose Gatineau, Quebec as the site for 2026 Canadian Nationals? Quebec has already hosted several skating events over the past couple of seasons (eg. Worlds, Nationals & Skate Canada)? Plus, although Gatineau is a pretty place, it would seem like it would make more...

I see. Thank you for explaining. :) I am a bit surprised that Canada has released her so soon.

Does Fournier-Beaudry have to be released by Canada first before she can compete for France?

So since Laurence Fournier-Beaudry doesn't have French citizenship yet, does this mean they are aiming for the 2030 Olympics in France?

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but NBC is broadcasting the Four Continents Gala on Saturday March 1 from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST. :)

CBC Sports has their streaming schedule up for the 2024/2025 season, extending from the start of Skate America later this month to the Worlds in late March: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/streaming-schedule CBC Sports is also listing TV coverage for Skate Canada in Halifax: :) Sat Oct 26 2:00...

That's not entirely accurate. IAM is the dominant ice dancing school, yes, but it is not the only one to produce medals. If you look at the top 3 Ice Dance teams for the past 2 Worlds (Chock & Bates, Gilles & Poirier & Guignard & Fabbri) only C&B are with IAM. G&P are with Carol Lane in...

The Gala Exhibition will be broadcast on CBC Television on Sunday, March 31 from 2:00-4:00 PM (EST). :)

Good to hear that CBC Sports finally decided to have TV coverage of this year's Worlds. It would have been pretty bad for Canada's skating image to have a Worlds here in Canada with no Canadian TV coverage. Glad to see those emails I sent to CBC Sports over the past few months made a...

Skate Canada and the ISU need to handle this situation properly and make sure to do the right thing. Figure skating cannot continue to be involved in these types of scandals without it hurting the image of the sport in the minds of the public. Figure skating is already a sport on the decline...
