    ISU Provisional Allotments for 2024, 2025 and 2026

    Yup, I liked when the ISU ventured outside the box and started hosting the GPF in countries not part of the six regular-season stops. The crowd in Barcelona was lively and excited for all the skating even if they only had Fernandez, so it’s not a case of Japan being the only place with the...

    Davis/Smolkin and their transfer to Ice Academy of Montreal

    Hello… she was at Worlds as noted. Also, when Diana and Gleb were training with Shpilband, I didn’t hear reports of how she was constantly involved in what he daughter was doing. Maybe I missed out on her magically showing up to spy/tell Igor what to do. I think as usual, people are assuming...

    O.J. Simpson has died

    I was in 4th grade- 9 years old mind you. My teacher literally wheeled in one of those carts with the TV held in place by the strap over it so that we could watch the verdict live. What a different time it was 😂

    US Adult Nationals in Cleveland April 2024

    The USFS does features on adult skaters and diverse skaters constantly throughout the year. :confused: Of course event recaps are going to focus more-so on the top skaters.

    The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

    Australia, Spain, Hungary, and Poland all marked D/S quite a bit higher than they were in either the RD, the FD, or both at Worlds. Hungary's top team is trained by Fusar-Poli. Poland's team is part of Zanni's camp. The other two come from IAM. At Euros, even the British judge had them a bit...

    The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

    Yes, but we can go back to the fall of 2021, before the doping broke and before Russia invaded Ukraine and the hate was still strong on this team. I keep referring to the one fall-B competition where everyone was wildly overmarked yet people only focused on D/S' scores (while others actually had...

    The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

    There is one higher-ranked IAM team that almost all skating fandom believes is greatly overmarked, and there's one team right behind the top pack that I personally feel is outrageously overmarked and should be down below the likes of even D/S (hint, Europeans at home). If the purists amongst the...

    The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

    I mean I get that people have been endlessly in agony over this team and their sub-top 10 World status the last few seasons that they've competed, but what have Diana and Gleb done to deserve discrimination against them? I would imagine a lot of people don't want to be connected with the...

    "Gold on Ice" April 19, 2024 in Leesburg, VA featuring 3 World champions & a silver medalist!

    As has been previously mentioned, Google Maps always offers the option to look up directions to leave at/arrive by a certain time during the week and it’ll give the general range of how long it takes based on previous data. There can always be unforeseen delays, but this should be the basis for...

    Russian figure skating news in 2024

    Not sure where this best belongs, but Nazarychev is still touring with cruise ships in the US and he learned the backflip recently. On his IG story today, he did a 2A+Euler+backflip Adam’s gonna get ideas ;) https://www.instagram.com/stories/mikhailnazarychev/3339798524971104634

    The Skating Lesson

    Yeah, he could have. My reply was really just a general thought but I think whether he gave people months of notice or a few hours notice, they'd still be pissed about something going from free to not free. Regardless, another general thought in this thread is that no matter what any visible...

    The Skating Lesson

    Of course people are going to be pissed when content isn't "free" anymore, but there are other outlets to follow skating that they can move to. I am sure there is enough of a TSL following that isn't complaining about fixed incomes, too. Aside from the few times when TSL has disappeared for a...

    Ilia Malinin Going to the 2025 Four Continents Championship!

    When Malinina and Skorniakov were still skating, it wasn't like the US consistently (or at all) sent their top teams. When did Kwan, Hughes, or Cohen ever compete for example? The first edition in which Malinina won featured skaters that finished 3rd, 5th, and 6th at US Nationals in the ladies'...
