I'm guessing the Kim Campbell from Canada (Silver Ladies Artistic 1) is not the former Prime Minister

Here's a recent article on Stephanie Roth (who's competing in Elite Masters Ladies FS Class I) in Lake Placid: https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/...e-roth-earns-her-spot-in-skating-history.aspx
Excerpt:

Highlights of Roth's amateur career include winning the 2006 U.S. Collegiate Figure Skating Championships, qualifying for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on several occasions and representing the United States at the 2007 Winter Universiade (World University Games). After her competitive successes and a stint as a show skater for Royal Caribbean Cruises, Roth went on to pursue her current career as a skating coach and personal trainer.
"My skaters come first, and sometimes that means I give up my chosen practice time. A good off ice regimen keeps me feeling strong and responsive for when I do get to skate," she said.
After back surgery and a hiatus from performing, she returned to the competitive scene as an adult skater for the 2016-17 competitive season.
"I decided to compete again because I missed doing shows. I never stopped skating, but I like my skating to have a purpose and a goal," Roth said.

ETA: I remember her powerful skating well from when she competed at Nationals... she stood out because her aggressive style was about as far away from "princess or ballerina" as one could get!

Stephanie could never be a princess when she is clearly a GODDESS OF ADULT SKATING.

Good luck to everyone! I skated in the very first one, held in Oberstdorf, and had a blast.

Ha! I have only heard about the EW. I have personally experienced the Fiesta....having both a mohawk and a cross-behind (not to mention the end pattern that gave me flashbacks to the 8-step mohawk) in the same dance should be banned.

 

[Theoreticalgirl]

Welp, glad to say that I've earned a PCS score higher than some JGP competitors! Not my best showing but a learning experience nonetheless.

I was looking for the results but couldn’t find them. Anyone have a link?

I don’t think they are up yet. We got our own individual protocol sheets there but that’s it. Of course, I’m currently sitting in the customs line in Detroit so I don’t have the most up to date info.

 

[Theoreticalgirl]

Results will probably take... ~a while~ to get online. Communication and use of technology was not a strong suit of the LOC.

@sk8pics and @Theoreticalgirl - They are up!

All cross-behinds should be banned, in my opinion.
