"The Runthrough" podcast with Adam & Ashley

KMT did a good job with the Pairs Lore Part 1 this week. I’m sad she didn’t mention Underhill and Martini’s “Unchained Melody” program, though. Watching that for the first time on TV at my grandma’s house was a seminal moment in my figure skating fandom. I was so enthralled and could not believe they weren’t married to each other. I guess I shouldn’t make fun of the crazy V/M shippers lol.

i mean you didn't start a secret baby blog presumably so i think you're still good

who among us has not had to yell at a child in a session? Consider: sometimes it's a huge safety issue and these kids just don't get it.

I haven't so yelled but I don't skate and am not at these sessions but it does sound like a safety issue. I've seen videos of someone trying to do their program to music and some skaters just go floating across the ice anyway

I got my knee sprained by a kid who skated right into me (they were behind me and I was skating forward so I didn't even see them at all) and it's still janky so I had to get a lot more proactive about keeping kids out of my way hahaha

@Rukia It's dangerous to the kids too. Adult me absolutely trucked a little girl who had been practicing in a corner. She was in my blind spot as I went full speed and had been warned multiple times before that my (and other skaters') pattern crossed that spot.
