Skate Canada did in years past publish the list of athletes receiving funding through the Sport Canada AAP, though it was deeply buried on the website. Other Canadian sporting feds, like Athletics Canada, seem to still make lists available (or have in the past couple of years), but I'm no longer...

Chock/Bates have a "Spanish-style," "flamenco-contemporary" program (presumably free dance) for next season, choreographed by Antonio Najarro: https://www.instagram.com/antonionajarro/p/DLsffX9PyfX/

Did they perform it somewhere? I haven't seen anything on either's social media.

That's a bold choice there on her part.

I confess, based on what we've seen from this camp in the past year, that it seems entirely possible to me that Marie-France and Patrice think Laurence and Guillaume's responses are good ones.

For what it's worth, the ISU has specified it wants "dance music with a rhythmic beat" for the rhythm dance, which, on top of the general creativity demonstrated by choreographers and teams over the past few seasons of era party themes, probably means the final products will be a bit less novel...

An interesting additional data point is that some of the other skaters who have shared USFS's post are Laurence Fournier Beaudry, Guillaume Cizeron, and Isabella Flores. Considering his commentary going all the way back to the AJ days, I've been routinely dismayed by the access many in skating...

Everyone is sharing it on their Insta Stories, including various Canadian and European skaters active and retired. I exaggerate, but I just counted shares from 20 different current or retired ice dancers and pairs skaters/coaches I follow, including Christina Carreira, Kaitlin Hawayek, Jean-Luc...

I wouldn't be surprised if Canada was a bit relieved to wash their hands of that situation, so to speak. Plus France released Vanessa James to them (in...similar circumstances).

Said it before and I'll say it again, the ISU just needs to give Anthony that Golden Waltz. I mean imagine the NBC fluff piece potential!

This wasn't posted here before, but in August On Ice Perspectives posted a video of Camden working with Shae-Lynn Bourne on the creation of this season's free: I was happy to see him skate so well at Nats!

Christina and Anthony have new FD costumes in a more traditional colorway: https://sunskate.tumblr.com/post/773407481418383360/new-costumes And a close-up from US Figure Skating: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFJLZWNyruY/?img_index=1

Lots of turn-of-the-millennium shows fell into this weird gap. Music was huge on some of the teen dramas -- and often indie music at that -- but while the network would promote the artists after each episode, the rights for even DVD distribution weren't secured, let alone for streaming years...

I think I had spotted Nik in the background of one or two posts from C/B's wedding, but not sure which ones. He's also in a photo Olivia Smart posted of skaters on board the ferry to attend Kirsten and Liam's wedding this summer (not necessarily confirmation that he attended). ETA: Just an...

The article can be found on the figure skating Reddit and is also circulating on Twitter now -- I won't link directly for copyright reasons but it's easy to find both places. The muddle of feds and jurisdictions involved in assault case after assault case is convincing me that, criminal court...
