You don't watch it on NBC if you're on Peacock - Peacock just streams the NBC broadcast. Since you mentioned Time Machine, it sounds like you have a Mac? If that's the case, your Safari might be out of date since you mentioned that you haven't updated your operating system and Safari is tied...

I'd like to say I'm shocked that USFS is trying to interfere with your access, but I'm not. A governing body that was confident in what it was doing would not be afraid of a reasoned analysis of a competition. There's no innuendo, mean-spirited gossip, or personal insults, just commentary that...

So happy for Max. ❤️

Same. That was a mesmerizing performance.

It is a long-standing tradition that medalists are invited to participate in a gala exhibition, with the champions skating last. Maybe it was clear to participants that the gala would be different this year, but to fans, it seems like a slight.

But the argument against Miner was that he had failed to deliver in his two times at Worlds, and biffed his GPs. Sound familiar?

You don't think it would be ZinKol who would sub? Seems like they've moved ahead of CarPom.

I don't see how Jason gets named after his performance tonight. One of the factors for consideration is trajectory, and his trajectory has unfortunately been downward. I wish the results had been different, but I'd be shocked if he's named to the team. What would not shock me is if Torgashev...

They skated so brilliantly, it's heartbreaking that it wasn't enough, but like you I also hope they'll get to go to Worlds.

Wrong thread.

There is an underwhelming field of older teams but I don't see Shin/Nagy as a "very promising team." They might get better, they might not. They're certainly not the equivalent of Aboian & partner in ice dance. Now that's a promising team.

US Figure Skating's objective isn't to prioritize winning the team medal, it's to create the opportunity to win the most medals, and with the timing of the dance and men individual events, that tips towards splitting those events and not the later ladies and pairs unless C/B and/or Malinin want...

LOL I thought you were going to say that you wonder whether the US will ask Ilia or C/B to do pairs. :shuffle:
