V-L / D represented the best of this crazy sport that I so love. They were not vying for the podium but they consistently put out beautiful programs that they skated with joy and polish and sincerity, and for these reasons they were always a highlight of competitions for me. As a fan, I’m...
My prediction which I mentioned earlier is that ChoBat will move back to Michigan, which they’ve hinted at, and land at MIDA. Madison Chock could do wonders for packaging.
Interesting typo. ;) I do think the ISU is trying to milk his popularity, but I also don’t think the award was out of line. Ilia smashed the history books by doing a 7 quad program. It was a phenomenal feat that even he has not been able to replicate yet.
The timing is unfortunate for F/G, but it’s no different than calls on flutzes or lips - sometimes they get called and sometimes they don’t. In a sport involving humans, it’s very difficult to be completely consistent. Plus, elements are not executed exactly the same from comp to comp.
Maybe they’re going to pull an Adam Siao Him Fa before back flips were legalized and just skate the program as they want to and not care about the scores.
Thanks for sharing those clips, @TanithandBenFan. Without saying it overtly, it sure sounds like they’re done with competition. Given the reference to moving back to the U.S., I wonder if they’ll land at MIDA, especially given Madi’s former partnership with Greg Zuerlein.
