I like the videos he makes when the sole purpose for the skate is to have it be recorded. But I’ve been at a number of events where he’s on the ice, and I find his presence quite distracting, and if I’m paying to see a show, I want to see only skaters on the ice, not a camera person. He can...

Time tends to either harden or soften us. In Raf’s case, it appears to be the latter. Also, being more of an advisor than a full-time coach might give Raf a different perspective.

Re Ilia - I posted this in his fan thread as well (gifted NYT / Athletic link)...

I don’t think this article has yet been posted anywhere. Gifted NYT / Athletic link...

I’ve been wondering whether some time with Raf away from his usual training environment wouldn’t do him some good. He might need a reboot.

Feel free to share, but just FYI I think it will only work for 30 days.

USA and JPN are tied. If Ilia had beaten Yuma, USA would only have a 1 point lead and Malinin would still need to do the FS for the USA to have a shot at winning. And even if Liu had also beaten Sakamoto, USA would still only have a 2 point lead, which is not enough of a cushion to allow anyone...

In the U.S. Figure Skating press conference, Christine Brennan ask ChoBat and Ilia how they would balance the team event and their individual events. Madi said that any time you get a chance to compete 4 times on Olympic ice you say yes, and Evan talked about valuing the team medal, so it...
