    Tickets for sale or wanted

    As Thomas and I head to Milan this morning, we are keeping eyes out for any discounted tickets people may want to part ways with- the men’s free skate and short program being at the top of the list but not opposed to the RD, pairs LP or SP either. Some of these events have completely...

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    4 of the 9 judges put them 4th. Not exactly unpopular

    It's Sato. Lists are up. They can't be changed.

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    Should be: Chock/Bates Yoshida/Morita Guignard/Fabbri Davis/Smolkin And either Lopareva/Brissaud or Lajoie/Lagha

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    This thread is off the rails. Ilia should prioritize what’s most important to him and what he feels capable of, not to appease a Federation and/or potentially ‘save’ the gold medal for other athletes. It doesn’t make him a poor sport. He’s worked hard this Olympic cycle and wearing himself out...

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    How do you figure exactly? Canada was looking at 5th in the short program in pairs with them. With Pereira/Michaud, they are slotting in basically the same place, maybe higher with what just happened with the Chinese.

    Huh? FB/C aren’t doing the free dance and France is still a question mark to make it to the free programs anyways.

    Judging panels and implications - 2026 Olympics

    https://www.isuresults.com/results/season2526/owg2026/ This page quietly went up and I pieced it together easily from the formatting of other events. Confirms the technical panels. I guess judges have to draw for position on the panel and that's why they aren't listed yet, but they are already...

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    I was making the point that the ice was not being used solely for two full days of speed skating. Short track always shares a rink with figure skating and every discipline used to get a day in between their events. Now with the team event having to fit in, things get modified to whatever the...

    It’s not just because of speed skating. The free dance comes after the men’s short.

    Except as has been circled repeatedly, France has a shot to get into the free skates. Last place not likely. Even if Canada gets in, also potentially not going to be last.

    It’s for sure been said within those circles that they are doing the RD, we mentioned it in our little simulation. And that’s why I indeed think France will make it to the free skates.

    Music rights clearance issues (policy being implemented by the ISU starting in 2024)

    Story has been taken down. I think it’s now an issue of clearing other pieces in the program 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Music rights clearance issues (policy being implemented by the ISU starting in 2024)

    https://www.instagram.com/p/DUQtNGBjaq1/?igsh=MTlxc2VvdWNxczA3 I added in a direct statement from Tomas after speaking with him. There seems to be a really gray ‘we aren’t shutting it down but we are warning you that there may be consequences’ type of answer.

    Netflix Ice Dancing Documentary (C/B, G/P, F-B/C)

    That’s what I heard at Skate America, that it was going to wrap up with an episode on the Olympics. Maybe those episodes need to still be confirmed pending these three or maybe they just scrapped it. But I think it ended kinda abruptly as is.
