I’d laugh my butt off if Chock/Bates continue to 2030, :lol: .

They’ll only address it if someone from the press asks them directly. They will probably say it’s a private family matter and it’s all already been dealt with between them with Maia being all smiles.

You know, I really respect this. I love the honesty. :respec:

If I didn’t know any better, I would have pulled a Tessa Sekret Baby and accused I.AM of sabotaging them for the benefit of one of the other 50 medal contending teams they train.

I’d get the eff out of Shreveport too. Louisiana is depressing these days.

“I want these old people out of the way so my preferred teams can win!”

It’s kind of been that way for the beginning of every season since 2022, at least.

I don’t even understand the point. I’d get it if one were to wish that Guillaume hasn’t done anything to warrant an expose in her book, so there’ll be none. However, it seems the wish is for there to be no expose regardless of whether he actually did something towards her to make her want to...

All of this reminds me of Bourne/Kraatz’s behavior at the 1999-2000 GP where Dubova was feeding their feelings of resentment towards the judges, and it wasn’t very productive for them. It did help them make the choice to leave her and go to Tarasova.

You know figure skating is dying when ice dance culture has normalized repeat programs. I know people can rationalize why it’s ok but I don’t care.

Exactly. Like all of what you said relating to the cycle of abuse and how victims stay in or return to bad situations is pretty basic stuff by this point. If one can’t fathom why it’s plausible, or at least possible, that Maia would “willingly” put herself in this situation, then it’s time for...

Apart from the discussion about whether Alex’s behavior is “normal” or “abusive”, the things that jumped out were: 1) Alex was having a serious tantrum that he seemed to have very little control over and displayed having difficulty in regulating … in private with his family and Maia. In public...

This sounds incredibly unhealthy and destructive. The above experiences had to have impacted those skaters well into their post-skating years and their relationships moving forward. Considering many participating in this sport start out very young, I think the culture that has been allowed to...

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this, so maybe I shouldn’t. See ya.

To add another point, all one has to do is read about the cycle of abuse to understand a possible reason why Maia may have returned. Here’s why I think it’s reasonable to at least ponder why this could be the situation. First, it’s not like she carved out a life outside of being with Alex...
