Might be too little too late for the sport of figure skating.

Since Annabelle has US citizenship, she's an American already, no problem here. And with the French and Russian citizenships under her belt, she can always choose between three different countries to compete for. Good for her!

A really smart move from Davis/Smolkin or whoever advised them to go to Montreal for coaching. I can see D/S beating the other I.AM teams at their own game especially that the current field is not particularly deep. There's no mountain Eteri cannot conquer when she sets her mind to it.

The Browns were awesome at both of their Grand Prix. In more than one respect, they were my favorite couple. I just wish they had better costumes.

The Sarah Abitbol precedent makes me wonder if Joubert himself was a victim of abuse as a child. I wouldn't rule that out as child abuse seems to be rampant in sports.

Oh, this is going to be a lot of fun. Like Besedin/Polischuk.

Me too. Their RD is different in a good way and it's the perfect choice for them.

Is Tessa the mother of the child? Because I'm thinking it would be really weird of Scott to say he'd like Tessa to be his daughter's role model if she were not the mother.

My guess is that the judges and the ISU in general know very well who is what in the sport in terms of sexual orientation. This kind of "news" travels fast inside the business and figure skating at the top is a very small world. The judges know but they don't care, they never have. What they...

Not so sure a culture change is possible whether today or tomorrow so long as quite a few people who work in figure skating seem to have no moral compass at all. I'm really afraid this sport might be doomed.

Kostornaya left Tutberidze for Plushenko and after a short while she left Plushenko to return to Tutberidze. Trusova left Tutberidze for Plushenko and now she is going back to Tutberidze. Who is playing with those girls' minds?

I have the feeling that if Cipres were allowed to compete and found himself a decent partner, there would be crowds cheering on him too. I'm afraid that's human nature rather than the nature of sports because it doesn't hold true for just sports.

This whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth. I just hope Scott Moir will never consider returning to competition with a new partner. I would find it disloyal and at the end of the day immoral.

Just three little words from me about Nathan's LP performance: I am speechless.
