🤔 What  did Sale & Pelletier do with their Olympic silver medals? Keep them or trade them in for something more glitzy?

Chock & Bates usually do better relative to their top competitors in their Free Dances than in their Rhythm (or previously, Short) Dances. I am pleasantly surprised that their score is so close to Fournier-Beaudry & Cizeron's.

Whatever do you mean? Is "X," the company, making an official statement? How could it possibly know? BTW, don't believe everything you read.

I sure hope that the Organizing Committee replaces the podium surfaces prontissimo. In addition to four more medal ceremonies for Figure Skating, the venue will see several for Short Track, which has relay events. :yikes:

I am confused. Didn't MacKinnon receive a commission to write the music for a movie, for which the producers hired someone else to perform? If so, why would he have retained the copyright notwithstanding the commission? Wouldn't his retaining the copyright make it very hard for the producers to...

I would place Chock & Bates' Free Dance program this season right up there with those from the last quadrennium. Do those two inspire more from IAM's choreographers, or do they demand more? Both, probably.

Mamma mia!

All hail Olympic Gold Medalists Ellie Kam & Danny O'Shea! :cheer:

Find the posters criticizing Chock and Bates and then see which of those posters have also posted about Lauzon and Dubreuil's personal involvement in letting Sorensen on the premises. Even better, look for the ones criticizing Jamal Othman, whose job description requires him to take action...

Those of you who who thought that Glenn should do either or both segments, please check the results. The only thing surprising is thai it was allowed to happen.

Your post distracts attention from what happened to Sorensen's victim and why people like Fournier-Beaudry, Cizeron. Dubreuil, and Lauzon have been either standing up for him or at least letting continue to coach during periods when he is not under suspension. Neither Chock nor Bates has done...

As a survivor, I have a genuine horror of sexual abuse. Chock & Bates, however, are not accused of sexual abuse. Posts like yours only serve to make it harder for people to have a proper discussion of abuse.

Having a brother who was once arrested for , I have bad feelings about allowing Sorensen to attend those weddings, but I can see that excluding him would have brought about a host of problems at their training center that the couples getting married wanted to avoid.

It may well be hard on the skaters, but revoking the coach's Olympic credentials  at the Olympics before either of his skaters has competed should send a loud, clear signal not only to coaches in Latvia but to National Olympic Committees and coaches worldwide.

🤔 Maybe it's time for figure skating to bring back live bands and sheet music.
