I’m here for the Liu vs. Nagy matchups that USFS keeps giving us. Just a little subnote of pairs drama this season. 😆

I’m not sure changing the RD is realistic at this point. They’ve already had to change their FD. Which, although they’ve put a good face on it, has to have been hugely distracting, not to mention discouraging. Anthony said yesterday that they’ve put “lots and lots of hours” the past 2 weeks...

Just curious when/where Ilia mentioned this as a problem? I missed it.

They withdrew from their other GP assignment.

I remember seeing Weaver/Poje in person at 2019 4CCs and being amazed how good they were. They really were unlucky with the whole timing of their career and competitors.

A good argument against this is Max's own history. He has three consecutive pewter medals at U.S. Nationals (and there were many who wanted him higher at some of those Nationals), but until this week's IceChallenge, he was basically unable to get close to those results anywhere other than U.S...

I think this is the general idea behind the S/N support. But the actual fact of the matter is that Audrey has had quite a few jump falls since turning to pairs. And one of the reasons she switched was because of underrotation problems in singles. 🤷‍♀️ What I do find exciting about Audrey/Balazs...

That's a good question. Reviewing the audio from Champs Camp, Alisa/Misha did specify working with the Skating Club of Boston on the citizenship issue, not USFS.

Some interesting bits from GoldenSkate mixed zone interviews at CoC. Lim/Quan Lopareva/Brissaud Smart/Dieck

That's pretty much exactly what Alisa/Misha said during the 10 minutes of press availability we had with them at the Champs Camp show in August.

"Women and girls must know how to take a punch"???? WTH. 😬:scream: Sorry, but even speaking metaphorically, this is an extremely unfortunate word choice at best. Not thrilled with the posts here and elsewhere not-so-subtly implying that Gabi should shut the hell up so everyone can feel a...

It is rare for athletes to skip the mixed zone. Even after very disappointing performances, almost all will still show up and give comments (unless they are low-level and media does not request comment). I do feel bad though for Guignard/Fabbri. 😕

A short season preview: https://adivinesport.com/2025/10/17/top-10-storylines-for-the-season/

Kaitlyn Weaver did a presentation about the different genres and themes of 90s music at the ice dance committee meeting at Worlds, and I don’t think the 90s swing revival was mentioned, FWIW.
