    The Skating Lesson

    My take? He flat out STATED that "we ALL KNOW they were not going to make it in skating" in that clip. Who the HE** is he to make this judgement???? I don't give even one 'eff about what else was in the whole episode. He referred to these innocent kids who loved skating as not having the talent...

    Joel Savary on diversifying skating

    Absolutely - it's on Disney+ and it's amazing to watch these young women and their goals and accomplishments.

    Gracie Gold's memoir published February 2024

    Based on Gracie's issues with her parents, it's not surprising to bring up the not so fabulous skate parents of the past.

    The Skating Lesson

    I have no issue with him going to Patreon; if that’s what he wants, I agree, go for it. But maybe he could have given folks a heads up or warning about what he was going to do instead of just pulling a video and dropping it on them suddenly? Just a courtesy maybe?

    The Skating Lesson

    I follow TSL on Facebook, but I honestly don't listen to/watch the recaps; I had enough of Zoom calls during the worst days of the pandemic, and that's what they remind me of. I mostly enjoy the old videos TSL posts of past skaters. I didn't watch the Worlds recaps video before it got pulled to...

    Gracie Gold's memoir published February 2024

    I live north of Philly, and I still haven't forgiven the "D*mn Yankees" for moving their AA franchise from our beloved Trenton Thunder to another city in NJ. Their reasoning? A "better demographic" - a polite way to say "whiter neighborhood." Trenton got the draft league and they CONTINUE to...

    Gracie Gold's memoir published February 2024

    Pat Lipinski made two big errors during Tara's skating career: One - she couldn't keep her big mouth shut and always seemed to be complaining about how unfair "poor Tara" was being treated; and Two - deciding that Tara would absolutely be the next Dorothy Hamill because she won the gold medal...

    Alysa Liu retired in 2022 and is coming back in 2024

    I'm going to be blunt enough to say that maybe a good look at at the women's competition at this year's Nationals led her to the conclusion that she can be competitive both next year and for the next Olympics. And no offense meant to Amber, Isabeau, or anyone else, but that ladies freeskate...

    So, exactly who on the IOC's cojones does Putin seem to have in a sling??? Why does Russia keep getting away with this doping HORSESH** in some shape or form????? While the Chinese women's gymnastics team lost their 2000 bronze because of lying about an athlete's age vs doping, I don't see a...

    Well, hopefully their medals will come WAY sooner than these did - and this did set a bit of a precedent for a team disqualification. I'm still blown away that China only got caught because Dong Fangxiao made the mistake of using a passport with her REAL birthdate on it when she became a...

    It doesn’t matter; she was doped even if she didn’t do it herself. And if you really believe it was “accidental,” I have a bridge for sale for you. In Brooklyn. Cheap… And really, aren’t you still too busy demanding that Evan Lysacek should have his gold medal revoked to even fret about...
