I don't think qualifying for the JGP will be a problem for Jason--he's been competing on the circuit for the past three seasons. I'd rather see him...

In the case of a combination I agree that a wonky entrance is a good reason to switch to a double. Beyond that I think it's important to go for it...

She definitely won't get the inflation that Ashley got this year--a necessary evil if three spots was the ultimate goal, but unfair nonetheless. One...

I was referring to occasional competitions, not regular practices. While determination is always helpful, the fact remains that a wonky entrance into...

I think Rohene Ward will be a very influential choreographer in the years to come. Very, very creative and artistic. Such a shame that his...

I actually disagree with this in most cases. I think that an occasional doubling or popping of a jump is okay. If it becomes a consistent trend or...

I believe this was mentioned in the thread immediately after Worlds concerning Tuktamysheva's results. Now I can't remember who provided the...

Could you blame the Russian fed considering Leonova's abysmal nationals? Had Leonova not gotten that world silver or medalled you can bet she would...

Joannie is the first one that comes to mind. I would love for her to make a comeback and I think she actually could do well.

So Tara Lipinski is a genius, then?

:rock:

I agree with CSG--what else can we base our predictions off of, if not generalities? The Russian ladies have had some bad competitions--heck, all...

Was that her boyfriend she was with in the beginning of the video?

I don't think Sasha at her best, in 2006, could rival either 2010 or 2013 Yuna. The artistry is there, but Sasha would fall far behind on TES without...

I see a distinct A canadian flavour. Funny, I would love to see Mira Leung reach her full potential without her mother and just do it. i would love...

She finished fourth in 2012. The article does not specifically say which World Championships it was, so it is still correct.

That is a sign of genius :)

Consecutive turns alternate---forward outside to back inside, to forward outside again. You don't change to the outside edge to do the second turn....

But the video is good :agree:

That is correct. But a maximum of two skaters/teams per discipline can compete in the team event. The US has 3 ladies, 2 men, 2 pairs and 3 dance...

Because when a skater has a displaced femur due to a torn labrum, the skater has no control over the movement of that leg. The skater relies on...

can all lamps love? :p FIRE

^ I believe Alissa did use the Korngold violin concerto in her 2011 short program. Michelle Kwan skated to the Carmen Fantasy in her 1999 short...

I don't think the U.S. gets any extra skaters because of the team event. I believe the rules say that you have to make up the team out of the skaters...

ETA: WOW! What a Preakness.

I remember that movie, Doris. Yes, they don't make such a fuss about her anymore, and I don't know why. Skatingpunk, that's a very astute point....

I don't see why this would be the case. For the falls yes, but if someone can land an UR or DG triple why wouldn't they be able to land a clean...

Hmmm, let's see, I think O'Connor is now permanently a no-go zone (for whatever reason), and I think Will Genia was injured. Ashley-Cooper is still...

I went back to find the previous reference re Cousins and Abbott. So it is the SP that they have been choreographing this past week. The post...
