Jason's free looks beautiful but there's a sense of bitterness and regret to the song that makes me sad he's using it as his goodbye program. In any case, there are going to be a lot of moist eyes in the audience.

Oof. Have a hard time imagining the crowd getting behind that dirge but best of luck to them.

Great choice for Jason. A nice full circle moment in what I assume is his competitive swan song. That step sequence is a perfect clip for a viral Olympic moment.

Voted for Li, Nakata and Blackwell but B is such a hot mess doubt it will happen - which is too bad cuz he's an amazing talent.

I voted on Mao, Stefania and Yo cuz they seems safe but would love for Hana Bath to have a breakthrough.

Old school powerhouse jumps like Tonya and Midori - if she had snappier tighter rotation she'd have a great 3A.

It would be interesting to try something like the old days where a loop was a required part of the jump combo some years. We'd probably see a lot of 3Lo+3T attempts and maybe some 3Lz+3Lo from a few brave souls. Or maybe it will be a renaissance of the 3Lz+2Lo with skaters opting for a clean...

Thinking specifically of ladies here but pre-IJS step sequences were all over the map. Before the 2000s, some of the step sequences women were doing were so basic and perfunctory they might as well have skated to the side and taken a smoke break at the boards. 90s Michelle was the KWEEN of...

Their teams are such a treasure trove for skating fans - what an embarrassment of riches. SO ANNOYED that Mao has to skate junior again this year - what a stupid rule.

This is awesome, I love it! Just hope that fascinator isn't part of her competitive costume :yikes:

Even if she quit now, 3 World golds, a surprise Olympic bronze and the hearts of countless skating fans around the world is already a brilliant legacy :respec: Wishing her a joyful 25/26 season.

I think you’re thinking of her Eric Clapton program that she dropped for EoE. She stuck with Beatles the whole season.

top 6 were decent by that era's low standards but by anna rechnio who got 7 and below it was truly a club-level junior ladies event with most of the women barely able to eke out one or two clean triples. altho I assume a lot of competitions were like that back then so I guess this wasn't much...

Regardless of the version I'm sure she'll find a way of shoehorning Kissing You in there ?

Probably every Sarah Hughes program since Robin always used lyrical and ballet music for someone with absolutely zero sense of line or carriage.
