Ilia's sister, Elli Beatrice Malinina won silver in the Juvenile Solo Combined Dance - just missed out on gold by .01 and handily won the FD! https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2024/33994/CAT006SEG012.html

Conversely, I hope this confirms for her that her Olympic journey is complete and there is no need to come back.

There seems to be a rumor floating around Xwitter that Brooke McIntosh has a new, unidentified, European partner.

It was discussed somewhere in GSD - was there a thread dedicated to the Soucisse/Firus switch? If not then in the Canadian Ice Dance thread when the appeal ruling in favor of S/F was released last fall.

Beat me to it! It's great news! And I'm going to bet that Emperor Naruhito is made a Stranger Knight of the Garter at the State Visit since he isn't one yet (usually happens at the first State Visit a monarch makes after ascending the throne). Hopefully this means that the rumored visit to...

The giant lotion bottles weren't the worst part of the Kiss 'n Cry. It was the really small set, the total lack of branding as this being the premier US figure skating competition, and that it was solely the local partner. The Chinese, Japanese and Finnish event organizers are much better at...

Well, we know that Skate Canada has tightened up its release rules after the Soucisse/Firus departure and require the skaters to pay back all the money received as Canadian skaters. Theoretically, I'd guess Chloe owes less than Matte given that she's only competed on the junior level...

Chloe Panetta has partnered with Flavien Giniaux and will be skating for France.
