Ilia never telegraphs 3axels like that. He was thinking quad.

I am so sad for Ilia, and for us fans who he's thrilled over the past 2-3 years. I do have to say it was either coaching or athlete malpractice to go for the quad axel when skating from ahead for Olympic gold (if he was way behind, it would have been worth the risk). He did not need it, but...

They are 3 for 3 on delivering epic performances in the Olympics TE. :cheer: May they bring this momentum forward and continue to skate brilliantly in the next 2 skates. 🤞

I can't believe Catherine O'Hara is gone, so very sad.

The USFS sent Michelle to Norway during the Olympics, but she was not in Lillehammer or with the team, she was training elsewhere, "just in case". omg this was over 30 years ago. :eek:

Whee! :cheer: :cheer2: Wishing them safe and restful travels to the next stop of their grand adventure.

One little tidbit about them that sheds light on their resilience with the back and forthing - they said in one of these little interview snippets I saw that they are both capable of sleeping anytime/anywhere. I think Emilea said something like if she has at least 30 minutes, she can go to sleep...

I think Vadym is just joking because they had an assisted axel called as an illegal move in the choreo of their RD at the GPF.

Madison is fully capable of both competing on DWTS and costuming Oona. OTOH I don’t think Evan would have any interest in competing against Madison.

I'm not surprised at Jason getting the 4CC and Worlds assignments. Despite Johnny apparently implying he's "fallen out of favor" (I didn't hear it but was stated in the pbp thread), I don't believe that for a second - and these assignments suggest otherwise too. I can certainly understand that...

Given what we've heard about Z/K's training habits this year (multiple consecutive run-throughs every day, etc), I'd hazard a guess that 4CCs (if they indeed end up staying in) might be about the experience as training - they didn't just make their huge improvement this year by magic. Not to...

All I can say at this point is I'm heartbroken for Jason. I hope he's ok. Post-2018 was a very tough time for him. I'm just so glad I got to witness his glorious lp in Boston in March in person.

The national champions should be skating in the gala for nationals, period. What ding dong came up with "only Olympic team members". Did they not foresee this situation (which was pretty easily foreseen)?

I'm so happy for them, what an amazing RD! :cheer:
