I could see Vincent trying again, if only to have another chance to try for an individual Olympic medal, but I'm not a betting woman, either.They are playing their cards close to the vest. If I were a betting woman, I would not bet on their return to competitive ice. But I don't bet.
Depending on how much he is or isn’t training, coming back isn’t a trivial matter. While I was trying to figure out if he had retired I read the SCOB is “only” 1 hour from his college - don’t know if that’s in traffic- then however long he would train - then back to school. It can be done - Bradie said it was the hardest thing she’d ever done. I’m so glad I got to see these 2 great skaters live all the times I did!I could see Vincent trying again, if only to have another chance to try for an individual Olympic medal, but I'm not a betting woman, either.

USADA reports one anti-doping test for both Vincent and Nathan in 2023. So they’re both keeping their options open at this point. (There’s a petty lengthy anti-doping ‘penalty box’ if you officially retire and then un-retire.)
For the curious-
Athlete Test History | U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)
Statistics for how many times Olympic or Paralympic athletes have been tested by USADA. Athlete test history information for each individual athlete.
Wow, who even knew this was available, thanks for the link. Jason had two anti doping tests recorded so far, so maybe returning to competition inspired another one.
Yeah, I know that Simone Biles has still been getting drug-tested since the Tokyo Games. I'm not convinced she'll come back, but she's another athlete, like Nathan and Vincent, who is keeping her options open.
She is in the gym training per Alicia Sacramone.

I mean I love a good Prince program but better watch it live because Prince’s estate will take down reruns of entire comps.Rohene said in an interview that Yaro's new SP will be to "Kiss" by Prince.
He said this about working with Yaro:
[Working with Paniot] was cool because Todd [Eldredge, Paniot’s coach] came to watch for the first time and he was like, ‘Wow, I didn't know Yaro could skate and move like that, but now I do.’ And I said, ‘He’s capable of a lot. It’s because of demand and what I expect out of them.’ So Todd will expect that from Yaro now, and I'm really glad he came to watch. He knows what it should look like and how to maintain it now.
Todd really respects what I do. You know, we competed against each other, so there's a different level of respect. And it was really cool to have him there and witness it and say, ‘Oh, my God, this is amazing. [Yaro] looks different than he's ever looked.’
