In Ice Dance, I think for an 80s theme RD, a couple should skate to Cyndi Lauper's 'She Bop' cuz I am dying to see how that would be interpreted. :EVILLE: Also for Kaori Sakamoto, she should do some modern medley which incorporates Thomas Dolby's 'She Blinded Me with Science', and at the...

With regard to Ilia's reach outside the FS community - I drag my spouse along on my FS journey and have to 'show' him performances (Look, look) But he by himself fishes around on Youtube to find Ilia's program ... and actually expressed an interest in watching it again! you'd have to know him...

Yeah. I get that he wasn't necessarily a dream to behold on the ice. But figured with 3 quads ...

You had me for 5 seconds

As nice as it would be to see Jason w/ a world medal, I don't think he would've beaten Aliev, who had good artistry and on good days was more likely to land a quad, and as someone said, Shoma was indeed to be there (I assume he was named to Team JPN), Jason was not unfortunately going to get a...

I figured he was more miss than hit, so didn't figure he would beat those previously mentioned

I did not see him at 4CCs (wonder why), but if he beat Yuzu ... then, he may have definitely been a medalist.

Wow. How could I forget the snake charmer LP? Their best ever! Yeah, in that light, I could see a bronze for C/B but I remember TSL talking a lot at the time about the CAN team competing well in their home country for Worlds. I also just remember TPTB being down on H/D that season ...

As some may know, I lurve my FS speculation threads - How do you think 2020 Worlds would have went down if YKW (1) didn't occur or (2) countries closed down a couple of weeks later in March: IMO - Men: I think this is the last worlds where Nathan and Yuzu would have legitimately dueled for...

Isabeau muscles her jumps and unfortunately for me, brings up comparisons in my mind with Eteri skaters, except no 3A or quad. However, unlike the Eteri-bots, she communicates with the audience and has loads of presentation, musicality and choreography I found the chat above about Amber to be...

OK. He won that Spartakiade competition in February (I think) w/ a score of like 304 and 3 quads. I assume based on that, he would have been selected by Russia (if they were present).

Thanks. Are S / B THAT mediocre in Ice Dance lately? I figure they probably would've been 4th since F / G were not as scintillating as earlier this season., but not in the top 10? Semenenko for bronze ONLY because of Adam SHF's SP / Shoma's LP, kinda woulda backed into it.

Here is another one - Mao as a junior was uninteresting = fridge break girl. I rolled my eyes incessantly at all the swooning and calls to change ISU rules and make her a Senior ASAP for Torino 2006!

I also think no dice on Russia being allowed to enter a team at 2025 Worlds. Putin has doubled-down on Ukraine and well everything else

I did peek at the RUS scores at Russian Nationals in December and the Spartakiade in February. As stated. It looks like Semenenko is currently the most consistent RUS man the past couple of months; seems like he was hitting clean programs including 4S and 4T [2 quad SP / 3 quad LP] regularly...
