The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

Also releasing LFB to France meant that she and Sorensen wouldn’t try to train and skate for Canada if his suspension got overturned (which it did) or sue for damages.

The Washington Post eliminated their entire sports department in these layoffs.

Samuels is not generally a sports reporter, though. He's just passionate about skating.

Good!

Samuels won a Pulitzer for his book about George Floyd and covers race relations and national politics. They let him write about figures skating because he loves it.

And IIRC Skate Canada bought itself a mess when they tried holding Soucisse/Firus for ransom. Screwing with the reigning Olympic champion’s choice of a partner and with IAM would have been a lot messier. They let the Duchenays go all those years ago, clearly they understand that sometimes you give and sometimes (Piper, Weaver, Messing) you get.

For what it's worth, poking fun at Cizeron and his ego is mostly pretty light-hearted IMO.

Load worse in Reddit, gahh.
Some time ago I browsed 15-20 year old figure skating discussions (not on FSU) and I was pretty shocked how venomous some people were. Like flat out calling skaters fat cows or talentless hags. And nobody reacted to that. So at least when it comes to social media, 'good old times when people had manners' never existed.

Yes. Plus they also got Romain LeGac from France and Nadiia Bashynska's new partner Noe Perron is from France.
