I'm laughing at Amber Glenn's reply about wishing she could spin without such complicated spin rules

isu give the skaters better spin options it's what the people want

Is Andrews coming back from injury or something? No flip now, in addition to the lutz, which has been missing for years. Not sure Debi Thomas technical content (two toes, two sals, a loop, and two double axels) is going to cut it.

Heart surgery

Heart surgery

Wasn't that prior to last season? Or did she have a recurrence of her heart issues?

Either way, her performed content isn't where it needs to be for her to be competitive internationally. The score is generous for a program lacking a triple-triple and no jump harder than a 3Lo.

For July I think starr looked really good. Even without a triple triple. That performance was better than any Grand Prix performance she put out last year. As she was done skating, I said to myself I could see the scoring around 120 maybe somewhere between 118/120. 124 does seem high but that was good.

It would be cool to see mia mix up her costume and presentation at some point. Is she competing junior or a senior this season?

Senior domestically. Too young for seniors internationally still.

I assume Mia's costume/dress wasn't ready but she could have at least worn an old dress instead of practice gear, IMO.

She's comfortable in that style so more power to her.
