Threads in Need of Merging

^^^ Just my two cents - I don't believe the second (newest) thread linked above was started to be a fan/cheer thread which the first (longest running) one was created to be. It probably could have been posted in the Dance Hall 6 general discussion thread but oh well. The third thread really doesn't have much to do with C/B and can be left alone, IMO.
 

This year is the 70th anniversary of the Zamboni

It's a California dreaming baby boomer, originating from war surplus parts, and owing much of its success to Sonja Henie and the 1956 Winter Olympics.

70 Years of The Zamboni

Great story on Weekend Edition with Scott Simon this morning on the 70 yr history of Frank Zamboni's creation https://www.npr.org/2019/10/26/773675414/70-years-of-the-zamboni Nearly 12,000 Zambonis in use around the world. There are other brands...and as Scott Simon reminds us, do not call all...

Challengers '20-'21

Apologies if this was already mentioned; I couldn't find it. The ISU has apparently put together this tentative Challenger schedule, which looks a trifle optimistic: https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1252955486237982721?s=19

Both are in GSD, but it almost seems like they should be in The Trash Can. :(
 

WHICH DISCIPLINE DO YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE MOST POPULAR THESE DAYS...AND WHY?

Say,which Discipline does everyone here believe to be the most popular these days...and why? I think Ice-Dance is the most popular these days because the moves are so graceful,and it's also very attractive. Anybody else?

2020 Grand Prix series thread

As far as the series it looks like ISU has decided to go ahead with localized events. I’m glad they’re having it but this will definitely be interesting going forward “The International Skating Union said Tuesday that each of the six competitions will feature domestic skaters; those skaters...

I can’t merge threads at the moment, it’s being looked into so can’t help.
 
I’ve sorted that now, but I don’t think they need merging tbh.
 

Keeping Track of Criminal Cases & SafeSport Suspensions in Skating

Since several topics that have been closed due to philosophical postings about definitions of teenage consent and other such musings, I thought we might try a general topic that keeps track of actual news updates about criminal or legal cases and new SafeSport suspensions involving skaters...

Qualification to Team Competition at the Beijing Olympics

I have been wondering for a while, sooner or later ISU has to announce how they are going to select the team competition entries. Since the season 2020-2021 has been virtually non-existent, ISU may have to include the 2019-2020 season results to count the points. Have there been any other...

Team event for the Olympics. Who will skate for some of the top teams, what are the main battles going to be

Honestly the event I am probably most interested in for the Olympics this year is the Team Event. Looking at it, it should be a great battle for gold between the U.S and Russia I think, and a great possible battle for bronze between many teams. How do you see it possibly shaking down, and who...
www.fsuniverse.net
 
My humble two cents :):

The Biden thread in GSD seems unnecessary and could be locked since there are some recent on-topic posts in the PI forum thread.

I think having a new/separate discussion thread in the Trash Can for the Olympic Team event is fine because the GSD one is very long already and has served its main purpose (team qualification process updates, etc.).

ETA: So an Admin. agreed with me about the former but not the latter. :)
