    Skate Canada Names 2025-2026 National Team

    Seemed that her jump technique was wonky? :lol: Well, that's a light way to put it. She kept going for the 3+3 in the short and that 3T is rotated on worse levels than what Thorngren was always getting called for. Her jump technique in general is loose and conducive to issues. Her skating...

    Programs that jumped the shark?

    Medvedeva started the season with the 9/11 program as a 16 year old, and it was in part choreographed by Averbukh who lived through 9/11 and had a tribute program himself, full with dust or ash in the hair or whatever the story was. eta- one judge away from becoming the Olympic-winning program...

    2025–26 Canadian Women: News and Updates

    I'm not so sure. She's repeating her free skate again next season and she does have domestic competition - Sara-Maude was ahead of her at Four Continents. And ETA- she was also ahead of her at 2023 4CC. She's been just outside the top 10 the entire Olympic cycle, but the basic skating...

    There's a reason given in the caption, so no. Not that.

    OAS ("Obscure" 4CC skaters) news & articles

    https://www.instagram.com/p/DLljjxXIWRf/?igsh=cW4zOGlvYWR6dWI5 Kind of a weird request-- no videos when he's 'on the ice' at all, including Nationals? I get it's an Olympic season and people want to keep things under wraps to an extent, but he's not even Olympic or World eligible :confused...

    ISU reveals new branding in line with the vision

    I don't mind the logo change but none of this really matters when they won't address fundamental problems that have otherwise made the programs boring and/or all look the same with about 15 seconds of a choreographic sequence being the only time they show any personality or listening to the...

    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    People will most likely know (and spill) the teams before the fact if it’s something controversial. coughcough2018

    "The Runthrough" podcast with Adam & Ashley

    Also, if one would actually listen to the podcast, he explains that he never felt he was in medal contention and defers to Ashley a few times as someone who had been in the top ranks fighting for the medals. He’s very self-aware of what his limitations and what his chances were, even if it’s...

    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    Since we’ve completely lost the plot, Suguri was robbed massively at 2004 Worlds. QR aside which we never even saw, the SP and LP were so good. Seeing how she won GPF, the judges really kept her low after said QR. Rochette also should’ve been higher in the free skate. 6 big clean triples...

    U.S. Women [#7]: Make Me a Believer!

    I’ve talked about it in previous threads here, but Arakawa was not AT ALL a serious contender for the Olympics until that early practice session and the 3+3+3 clip that circulated from it. She had an otherwise mediocre season to that point, dropped way down in the standings at the previous...
