    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    Yes, up to the quintuple lutz. https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.azurefd.net/isudamcontainer/CMS/Corporate-Site/Governance/Transparency/ISU-Communications/2707-ISU-SOV-SinglesPairs-2025-26-25-05-01-1747377995-9986.pdf Quint God will reveal himself soon enough. :watch:

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    It would be foolhardy for a skater planning to compete for eight more seasons to alienate his federation and teammates by putting self-interest above teamwork in the Team Event. I am sure that Malinin and his parents know this very well.

    According to :sekret:, they were going to say that the planned content included a quintuple jump, but they decided not to go overboard.

    Which figure skating discipline will have the most shocking result at these Milano Olympics?

    I would say that in Women's and Pairs, it’s more than just a couple of potential winners. Maybe six women (the three Japanese, two Americans, and Petrosian) and four Pairs (the top Japanese, Italians, and Germans and the Georgians, assuming that the first two of those are fit enough to contend)...

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    The King owns the entire Sandringham Estate, including about seven hundred houses, many of which are inhabited by employees. There are also dozens of such houses on the Balmoral Estate. I suspect that the vast majority have no more than three bedrooms apiece and are what the press could call...

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    https://www.londonbusinessinsider.co.uk/marsh-farm-sandringham/ Dude has been banished to a "modest farmhouse" once it gets fixed up a bit. It's not  that modest, given that it has five bedrooms and room for a pony, but the ruins of Fotheringay Castle were apparently unavailable. 🤷‍♂️

    2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

    💡 Here's my bold prediction for the day. The only discipline that USFS will split is Pairs. Neither team is a medal threat on its own, and either one would likely finish last in the Team Event Free Skating, so why not? :p

    2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

    Azerbaijan has only two athletes at the Games, one of whom will be the flag bearer at the closing ceremony. I wonder how they decided to divide the duties. Coin toss? :unsure:

    Deanna Stellato-Dudek injured pre-Olympics - news & updates

    I am not sure that there is a "typical" protocol or a "typical" concussion for that matter. The brain is a delicate and complex organ. Be that as it may, it often takes weeks or months before someone who sustains a concussion to be fit enough to resume strenuous activities.
