You remember G/P because they were such a beautiful highlight - it was the only time I've ever seen them skate live and they alone were worth the drive and the post-dinner run! :love: They did an exhibition performance of Vincent, and it was sublime.

And I had it all planned out so perfectly. :lol:

I wish this was closer to me - I don't think I can get down there for this on a Friday but it looks fabulous.

This is on her Wikipedia page re: her comeback. I don't know how remote coaching will work out (maybe fine to start with), but I'm very happy to see Massimo's name again.

Not to excuse MFD actions or defend them, but it's worth pointing out that John Z was a very active part of the misconduct in that case, trying to cover up the situation and intimidate the complainant to prevent her from coming forward. I guess you could say it's along the spectrum but it's a...

G/F have been competing at the world level longer than C/B (although Evan and Madison also both had great success with their prior partners even before getting together). It’s been a slow, lengthy, but steady ascension for G/F.

Yes, avoiding burnout, protecting an "aging" athlete's body, taking full advantage of his professional opportunities, and continuing to develop his career overall at 29 years old, all sort of point to not doing 2 GPs. That said, I was really happy to see him quoted as saying he's going to take...

I'm only partway through season 1 of Succession, but unless the show is going to change radically, I have no idea what Ilia's costume has to do with it. It seems like a suit (or rumpled suit with no tie) would have been more like it, based on what I've seen so far. But he might just have been...

Jason had the highest score in every non-jump category in this lp - PCS, spins, steps, choreo sequence. I haven't paid a ton of attention to men's events the past couple of years except for the top guys, but Gorodnitsky is very enjoyable to watch. I liked both his programs.

In defense of Josh Groban (but not Jason's recent music selections), The Impossible Dream is corny no matter who sings it.

Because he substantially curtailed his training post-Olympics. He was literally performing in Japan last week, and that's been his general schedule this last 2 seasons. I think he just flew directly from Japan to worlds. Training matters. And all of this has been kind of an experiment for him...

I didn't watch it that broadcast, just going by what Sylvia and others discussed just above, that he gave a recap of the situation - as opposed to Mark, whom I did watch, who just expressed a lot of sympathy toward FB/S (esp. Laurence) for "what they'd been going through".

I generally love Mark as a commentator, and he comes across as an extremely empathetic person, which is a I trait I value pretty highly, but his handling of the FB/S situation was really bad. Terry is the consummate professional and not surprised at better handling, but I'd also assume there was...

Memola really has some of the worst spinning I've ever seen in a competitor at this level. I thought he was going to stop spinning on the catch-foot camel and just balance there like a velodrome cyclist. I was just looking at the protocols to see just how much this cost him compared with Jason...

I am literally hyperventilating. Just absolutely I can’t even, a brilliant tour de force.
