it's so strange to see protocols with 4's and 5's! Will definitely take some getting used to.

Thanks for the update!
So I was surfing Ig this morning and I came across Tyler Pierce’s acc and found this post:

Could there be a possible comeback in the works? There have been no other posts of her or news of her being in the rink otherwise...

I think that might actually be part of a movie... it was re-posted from an account of a director making a film called "Skater"

I think she is involved in this little film project: https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/dwwskater#story
In the post, she tagged this person (https://www.instagram.com/jessmkaye/), whose IG links to the above.

Yeah, a bit disappointing if she doesn’t compete again though, I really liked her skating!

No idea if Karen’s skating but Asian open and Philadelphia international are going on. Maybe she’s in Philly, idk
Yeah, she’s going to debut her programs in Philly International in a few days. Amber will be there. After that only Courtney, Gracie, Bradie and Mariah need to debut their new programs.

FWIW, a trainer at IceTown (Tyrone, who frequently is mentioned by Sean Rabbitt) had referred in May to an off-ice session with Tyler:
If Tyler has been doing any on-ice training at IceTown … or will be doing any … one wonders who is coaching her, now that Gambill has moved to Colorado.
In any case, good luck to Tyler.
Cross-posting from Gracie's fan thread (because I think it is sweet
):Gracie was/is involved in handing out medals to lower level skaters at Philadelphia Summer Championships, per this coach's comment:

I think it's great that Gracie is doing this. The more she's around competition and back in the "Swing" of things, the better. Gracie is still so admired and I think it will be a thrill for the younger skaters to see her up close and personal.

her jumps look MUCH cleaner than at nats and her knee bend, fluidity, and expressive style remains. The only UR I saw was on the 2a-1/2-3sal(3sal seemed <)

Oh that film project looks really interesting! And it's great that AFI is creating a space for women film makers like this. Hope to see it on the festival circuit.

Courtney Hicks indicated that she is competing in the DuPage Open in Illinois this weekend. So we might get some more info about her.

Why do so many people go to Tom when all of his students struggle with underrotations?
My personal opinion.
Location, location, location. He is based in Colorado Springs so his skaters have access to lots of hidden benefits of an Olympic Training Center. Should be interesting now that Tammy has relocated there to so see who the families choose.
On top of that, his skaters tend to do well so he also has that going for him.

Aren’t Tammy and Tom kind of team teaching now, or at least cooperating with each other somehow (as with Vincent last season)? It sounded that way to me from comments made by TSL. They said Karen is back with Tammy and mentioned Tom versus Alex O in context of her jumps. Though I don’t think they specifically said she’s working with Tom.

Do not agree with the premise of your question.
Underrotating not an issue for Max (who was with TZ for seven or eight years) and Camden.
:agree: Agree with all of your points.
Regarding Tom's track record, an example is that he coached two of the six Team USA singles skaters at 2018 OWG. (Same for Raf and for Tammy.)
Plus … both of Tom's skaters made history in Korea:
Mirai was the first U.S. lady to land a triple axel at the Olympics (and came home with the team bronze medal).
Vincent landed the first-ever quad lutz at the Olympics (and placed sixth).
Not too shabby.Vincent landed the first-ever quad lutz at the Olympics (and placed sixth).
And another benefit of Colorado Springs is training at altitude.
