Awww. I’m remembering the nice MKF days now.

I wasn’t sure what to call them, but I was talking about the class next to the GPF finalists that are expected to to contend for titles next quad. But then maybe some of them are in their 30s too, like Charlene and Marco, 😂.

Oh gosh…. I don’t mind skipping that part. These skaters are all so young even though many of the challenger class are well into their early to mid 20s.

Honestly, the ice dance camp wars (even if only being openly waged unilaterally) is the most exciting thing to happen to ice dance in the past 8 years. We have a Linichuck (Marie-France), which I guess makes Patrice Karponosov, a Bourne/Kraatz (Gilles/Poirier), a Fusar-Poli (still Babs but...

When did Russian ice dance teams reuse old programs and got rewarded? The last I remember was Krylova/Fedorov reusing their 1992-93 FD at the 1994 Olympics and they went from 3rd to 6th.

You know, with all the complaints that certain senior teams are getting generous calls and GOEs, maybe the calling at Skate America and Finlandia that everyone complained about and that was being investigated (at least Finlandia) was actually more accurate than usual.

Like college, there are some places you shouldn’t revisit because things have changed too much and your memories were from an era long gone. Same goes for this program and the Shibs desperately doing not just Coldplay but “Fix You” again.

@PRlady, you hit the nail on the head and articulated my issue with ice dance these past few years. There’s a lack of excitement because there’s a lack of any person with real presence and star quality. It got so desperate that we’re rewarding Madison Chock in skating skills just because she’s...

They’re filing a motion arguing that the standard of proof is “some evidence” while experts say it’ll mostly be split down the middle between “some evidence” and “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence.” :lol:

They’ve been a team who have probably felt chronically underscored for about 10 years, so they had a lot of years to gather data and see the pattern, especially as they’re close to the sport and can feel what the vibe is. From their perspective, they probably see the writing on the wall and...

Maybe I’m hating ice dance these days, but I thoroughly enjoyed that samba OSP and the hot pink pants.

So some people find other people problematic for not being outraged by something that is based on the original person’s supposition where nobody involved or with knowledge of the dynamic has ever made an allegation, much less provided tangible evidence, of something untoward going on between the...

Has it been confirmed or alleged by any party in the situation, or by anyone who actually knows their situation, that something inappropriate and problematic happened?

It seriously sounds like it’s written by AI.

For what it’s worth, the ISU is still promoting the Shibs: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ6nu5fjcPN/?igsh=MWFpcTFqbWt3Njh5aA==
