not sure how i feel about the pink song...but if she still has Adam in her corner i think whatever they come up with will work. she made Britney work (no pun intended) after all!

Is Bradie really 5'6"? If she lands a 3A that would be amazing!

I genuinely cannot tell you how excited I am for her free programme!! I love ABBA and I can totally see Mariah pulling off a dancing queen medley! Excellent choice of programmes - the SP is a nice lyrical song and something fresh, upbeat and fun for the free

Any updates on Gracie? Has she said what her competitive plans are for the season (assuming competitions happen)? I was disappointed she didn't participate in the virtual event.

I love that song from P!nk, and it's quite lyrical, like her free program last year. Mariah had a breakthrough last season because of her consistency, and while I'm doubtful if she can get a triple axel (her double axel isn't that huge or impressive), she can certainly continue to challenge for medals if she stays consistent with her current tech content.

Newly published today: The interview with Gracie for the most recent installment of Ellie Pogrebinsky's "Women in Athletics" series.
https://youtu.be/RhTVQMxj5a8 (Aug 22, 59:58)
Disclaimer: I have not listened to the interview yet. I do not know whether they talk about the upcoming season. (The main purpose of Ellie's series is to cover broader issues.)
My money is on Amber Glenn to prove your point.
She is landing 3As in practice (and she was credited with one in a virtual competition, per the protocol that was on her Instastory).
ETA (on Aug 23):
Amber will turn 21 in approx. two months.
Good luck to all.

Bradie I could see succeeding, Mariah not so sure.
Also Mariah is 5’3” right? Or am I being crazy (I am aware the height in the post is referencing Bradie, I just can’t remember how tall Mariah is)

Isabeau Levito debuted her 3f3t on instagram! Her technique is as wonky as ever but it's nice to see her doing well! Feeling really bad for all of the juniors missing JGP this year, as I think it's incredibly valuable experience.

I wish Karen would've moved to Orser at the same time Jason did. I doubt there was ever any interest from either side, but that was really a dream team of mine. It's not too late

New Fan Zone article about Mariah mentions that it was Molly Oberstar who first suggested Pink's "Glitter in the Air" for Mariah in January.
And Mariah's new SP is choreographed not only by Adam, but also by Molly.

Good Morning America made a video featuring Starr Andrews. Her heartfelt on-camera comments for GMA are interwoven with On Ice Perspectives videography of her "Black Like Me" program. (It also has some cute photos of Starr as a much younger girl.)
It currently is on the GMA home page. (Hat tip to OIP's Instastory).
Starr Andrews wants to be the first Black American skater to win gold at the Olympics
In this now viral video, Andrews skated to Mickey Guyton's “Black Like Me” to honor “the struggles that African Americans have and still are enduring.”

I don't think she has the power to pull that jump off.

She is close but, if that was as close as she is.....I say leave it out. She has such strong toe jumps that I think she should go for a quad Toe or even a Lutz.

Bradie's best jump is the flip, but in all honesty I can't see her getting a quad flip as she has a tendency to UR her jumps as it is. I understand why she wants to try and up her technical firepower but she isn't the most powerful jumper - I hope she succeeds though with training a 3A.

Powerful or not, it looked quite close to being landed. If and when she lands them, she'll work up to more speed and power.

That 3A attempt was landed forwards at best, how did it look close? I think she should learn to get a better vault from the takeoff and do a big, airy 2A before trying to do 3A.
