@Wyliefan posted in March (based on her IG stories) that "Hanna Harrell is keeping both programs next season."... I will be portraying the role of not one, but two independent women superheroes for my short program this year: Black Canary and Harley Quinn. Iām skating to āItās a Manās Manās Worldā and āJokeās on Youā from the movie, Birds of Prey.

USFS is supposed to give an update on the status of their qualifying competition season by July 15th.Will there even be any competitions open to any U.S. Ladies this year?
Most competitive figure skaters move to online or homeschooling at an early age, however, Pooja took an unorthodox route and didnāt switch to online school until her junior year of high school. Her academic aspirations have always been rooted in her dadās ideology that āfigure skating is temporary, but your education will be with you foreverā¦ā While most Asian households discourage the pursuit of the arts, Poojaās parents have always encouraged her to pursue her passion, contingent on continuing her academics. Sheās found difficulty in balancing skating and school but has realized compartmentalizing during practice and competition is the only way to balance both areas in her life. Pooja hopes to explore the fields of medicine going forward but has also piqued an interest in entrepreneurship after an innovation competition in 8th grade. While most skaters find it difficult to pursue excellence in both areas, Pooja has been able to find time to contribute to the academic and athletic sides of her life equally and will be applying to universities this fall.

"07/10/2020 [July 10]
My first time ever Landing a clean triple axel on one foot. Quarantine really gave me time to think and evaluate my goals for my skating career. ..."
In recognition of Ms Glenn's achievement and her unique rationale for withdrawing from the Peggy Fleming Trophy, I hereby propose that the time-honoured event-dodger's excuse of 'I have to wash my hair' be replaced with 'I have to work on my triple axel' throughout the figure skating community.![]()

At this time, everyone is behind the eight ball. If the season is disrupted or canceled altogether, then everyone will be impacted and find themselves on the comeback trail.Does anyone know if Gracie is back to training? I feel like the loss of momentum and competitive opportunities could really impact her comeback.

Since McCarvel's article focused on Gracie's involvement with The Weight of Gold documentary and not her current skating/training status, I posted the link to his Olympic Channel feature in Gracie's cheer thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/gracie-gold-cheer-thread.106404/#post-5839394Nick McCarvel tweeted a few days ago that he spoke to Gracie and Mariah for separate, upcoming Olympic Channel stories: https://twitter.com/NickMcCarvel/status/1285730872663080962
Yes she is back training.Does anyone know if Gracie is back to training? I feel like the loss of momentum and competitive opportunities could really impact her comeback.
...this season Rippon has choreographed her short to āGlitter in the Airā by pop artist Pink.
And for the free skate? Bellās other choreographer, Shae-Lynn Bourne, has laid out a fan favourite for her: ABBA.
āI've done some slower (programs) the last few seasons, and it was kind of like⦠as much as I would love to do something like that again, I need to push myself out of my boundaries a little bit,ā she explains. āI'm super excited about it. I've got āDancing Queenā in there, and then I also have a slower part with āThe Winner Takes it All.āā
āIt's just something different. ⦠I feel like these two programs have the potential, again, to be so special for me.ā
Video montage that includes both audio & video from her interview with McCarvel: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/s...ter-mariah-bell-i-want-to-push-my-boundaries/OC: This is a strange time right now. What are you trying to focus on in your skating? Maintaining certain things⦠adding other things?
Bell: There's this awesome opportunity right now (with few) competitions on the horizon, so it's the perfect time to work on new elements. I am working on some new elements and working on new combos, including different spins and trying to use the time well. And obviously triple Axel, which has always been something that I believe that I can do. We spent a little bit of time on that last season, but it was kind of hard because of all the competitions.
I am trying different things; I think the sky is the limit. I believe that I can do so much more. And I think I'm just getting started. You know? I am often asked about my age. Twenty-four? That used to be ancient in skating. (But) I feel so young because I feel like I have so much to learn still. I think that keeps my spirit young⦠thatās what Rafael tells me. We have so much more that we can do. Weāll see. I'll see what happens.
I think it's actually a really special opportunity for skaters to have this time to work on these other things and maybe when conditions come back (it will be) even more interesting. Maybe everybody will be completely different. It kind of makes it more interesting.
