Some fun Art on Ice rehearsal footage
It can be all of the above. It definitely isn't easy to put one's personal opinions, especially political ones out there. Social media is cruel and a lot of people have no filter when it comes to lashing out at a difference of opinion (we are pros here at FSU ). Most athletes would rather not deal with it, especially those who are still new in their career or have a lot more to accomplish. It is important for athletes to not be distracted by these things when they need the focus to accomplish their goals. Some people could get really discouraged, if it turns into personal attacks. That doesn't mean athletes haven't done so in the past. Ashley was quite outspoken about her feelings about Russia's LGBT laws. She is definitely one of those who isn't afraid to speak her mind. But it also means that she has to deal with what comes with it. IMO, social media can turn into a tremendous emotional drain. When you are representing a country, there is the added responsibility to make sure that you don't cross the line or offend anyone (other federations too). You also have to keep in mind that skating is a judged sport. He has lost followers too as a result of being outspoken lately.I wonder if some athletes stay silent because they don't have the time to respond as much as Charlie does and/or have patience for it. I do wish more would speak out. And I admire Charlie's patience, and appreciate it.

The sound quality for Art on Ice is extraordinary. Even on youtube videos you can tell that the sound is just amazing. I saw some backstage footage about all the equipment they bring in to stage this show. It seemed like miles of road cases stored backstage. I can't really think of any other skating show that puts in that much effort into the production.Some gorgeous photos of Meryl and Charlie from Art On Ice -

Man, I would love to see them skate in a packed arena with a live orchestra and smoke machine and all! No wonder they adore this show.

Wow...moved to tears!Adagio for strings/Samuel Barber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5DAF7bIiFQ
Plus fewer recycled moves!I really enjoyed the Sax routine. It was fun seeing them do something more energetic with more footwork. Don't get me wrong, I love their slower emotional pieces, but I do miss seeing the faster, more technical, numbers we used to see when they were competing.
Whew. Get a room.More stunning pics not sure which show
Barber's "Adagio for Strings" was performed live with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra - maybe they will perform "Un Sospiro" in Lausanne and Davos?Info about their new exhibition programs
