http://www.gazette.com/sports/broadmoorskaterflattquickly%E2%80%98growingup%E2%80%99-104266--.html :clap: Flatt, 18, recently added a triple lutz-triple loop combination, one of the most technically demanding maneuvers in women’s figure skating, to short and long programs that allow her to act...

So...it's the start of not only a new skating season but a whole new Olympic cycle. So what's the state of the American ladies at this point? I know there have been threads here and there about specific skaters (i.e. Zhang) but here's a place to try to paint a picture of the entire scenario. ...

I just found Mao Asada's new exhibition program to a Chopin piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMzd-gKWGFc&feature=related It's beeeeeeeeeautiful! ;) Does anyone have any news about her?

1. She said to the group of reporters who gathered at today's media conference in Toronto that she will compete at the 2010 Worlds regardless of her result in Vancouver. 2. And following the news from SBS, Yu-Na's new exhibition number is "Meditation from Thais". ...

What will the 2010/2011 bring us in ICE DANCE? Obviously, the biggest shift is the shift to two dances instead of three, with the the compulsory and OD combining to form the new short dance (no, not strictly combining, but you know what I mean). Big shifts generally don’t rewrite the playbook...

http://nymag.com/fashion/10/fall/67510/index3.html According to Weir, his sixth-place finish had less to do with his skating than with his relationship to glitter. “I felt going into the Olympics that I had very little support from my own country, from the U.S. Figure Skating federation,” he...

The coming show here in Japan "Olympus presents THE ICE" had Mirai Nagasu on the roster but now it says that Mirai won't appear due to injury. http://iceshow.jp/ Mirai should be disappointed not coming to Japan and see her grandparents this time. Does anyone know how she is now? In any case...

No narrative of the quad was as dispiriting as the pairs story. The retirement of Shen/Zhao really left a hole in the competition and no skaters really raised themselves up. No team has the “skating as one” that Shen/Zhao had (have) and the consistency of the top skaters (Kavaguti/Smirnov,...

Merged from thread started by gsk8. This is official press release from IMG. Press Release August 24, 2010 (New York, NY) – Meehee Park, Kim’s mother and a representative with AT Sports,( Kim’s agency), met with Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson on August 2, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. They both...

I used to think all figure skaters were small. INCLUDING men. Lysacek's height. Is it normal? Seems most men are around 5'8-5'10'' Women around 5'3" (I always thought Rochette was taller than 5'2. She seems much taller). Height doesn't make too much of a difference does it? Presence on the...

ISU Communication No. 1622 http://isu.sportcentric.net/db//files/serve.php?id=1902

Just starting a thread given all the chatter about 3-3 combos elsewhere on this forum. So far the reports state: Christina Gao did a 3F-3T at Skate Detroit. Agnes Z. did a 3T-3T at the Broodmoor Open. Ashley Wagner is attempting to do a 3F-3T as well. Someone mentioned in the Yuna...

I noticed on FSU and AJ's blog speculation that Sasha had a try out skating pairs with Rockne. I have no idea if this is true or not. While I realize this is a long shot, thinking of the possiblity of Sasha Cohen and Rockne Brubaker brought back memories of SOI 2008: ...

Well I figured that it's about time to start this thread...so here are some changes....some we knew about and some we didn't. Ekaterina Rubleva and Ivan Shefer have been added to the dance roster at Japan. McLaughlin and Brubaker have withdrawn from pairs at Skate Canada and Skate America....

She doesn't like to be called a wunderkind, but Elizaveta ("Lisa") Tuktamysheva is for sure a skating prodigy. As a tiny 11-year-old, she competed at the Russian National Figure Skating Championships in 2008 (senior level), and achieved the highest technical score of the field in the free skating....
