I need glasses. Read that as "bullfighting flamingo," and thought, well, Chock can probably pull that off.

Ryan Crouser just won his third straight world championship in shot put - it was his first competition in more than a year because he has been and is still injured, and he only made it to the world championships because he was given a wildcard entry.

My knee hurt looking at the position in his catchfoot spin.

It is too bad he didn't dump Old Friends. I love Paul Simon's music and Jason's skating, but that one never worked.

Smart move. She's had a long career and needs to protect her body since she wants to compete at the next Olympics.

Coach Pickle is not wrong.

When will the Shibs first compete this season?

Brown has a remarkable ability to fully extend and commit to choreography, even very early in the season. I hope that after he retires as a competitive skater that he works to teach younger skaters how to do that.

I clearly need more coffee. For a moment, I though - Dune is now on Broadway? What?

I don't know where she needs the PRP, but I had it for achilles tendinitis and it took several months before the area was not painful to pressure, and I wasn't in tight skating boots. It definitely helped, but not quickly.

A SEKRET baby, for real. She just showed up with a baby in an instagram pic out of the blue one day.

Other than the one-armed costume, I really like A Day in the Life at Skate America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BahdzcmS6S0. The spiral sequence was great, spins were lovely, and the footwork was also good.
