Sadly, this seems to be the norm. Look at Penn State/Joe Paterno/Jerry Sandusky, Larry Nassar & USA Gymnsatics. People knew for YEARS (decades??) and swept it under the rug until it couldn’t be hidden anymore. It seems people are worried that a scandal, even if they aren’t directly involved...

When Flores/Tsarevski split, everyone came down so hard on him. I am wondering now if the “marry your partner” idea was presented to him and he wanted no part of it so he took off. There is no way that someone just picks up and leaves, with so much at stake after years of training and sacrifice...

Test sessions aren’t mentioned specifically, but it does say the following: “A: Yes, the policy applies to all U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned and approved events and Compete USA events/programs.” I believe test sessions have to be sanctioned, so they would fall into this category as well...

It would’ve been one thing if they were both just sitting there beside Soerenson, but M-F took it a step further and was openly hugging him, touching him, smiling at him, etc. Definitely not a good look overall for IAM….

Such tragic news. Prayers for the Paul and Islam families ? There is a go fund me that has been set up: https://www.gofundme.com/f/supporting-baby-charlie-loss-of-mother-alex-paul?member=29016469&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

I briefly scrolled through and didn’t see anything posted regarding the fact that Jenni & Todd were not in the K&C for the final. Wondering if one (or both) also tested positive??

But that’s only for singles. Pairs and dance do not advance at all.

Personally, I would have liked to have seen the award go to Manta/Johnson. While they are not a “top tier” team, I thought their program was innovative, crowd pleasing, and skated impeccably!!!

Dating myself quite a bit, but perhaps you could include stories about Paul Binnebose (injured during practice) and Katie Wood (injured while skating in a Gala in Russia. Became deaf in one ear because head trauma from a fall out of a lift). That these cases happened decades ago and there is...

I’m not missing anything. There’s always something more that can be done. Jump over the boards if the monitor won’t open the door, yell, get the monitor to Walkie-talkie the panel, yell some more, have medical run down to ref, yell to Tim to go to referee. To say that nothing could be done is...

Yes!!!! So what would’ve happened? Fined by the ISU? Suspended from coaching at International events?? Who cares!!! That’s their daughter out there!!! Nothing is worth risking her health after a fall like that.

Aren’t her parents their coaches? I can’t believe that they would let her continue- doesn’t matter if she’s an adult. She’s still their child and no skating performance is worth risking her health or potentially her life!!!! What were they thinking???

^^^This!! Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed. There seemed to be absolutely no connection between any of them. It was very bizarre and concerning for Gracie’s mental health. She needs a support system and in that moment, it seemed to be severely lacking :(
