I just can't imagine she'd switch to singles.

@ this point, I can't imagine that happening, either. Nevertheless, it's great to see her back on the ice!

I wonder if retirements would be affected if Russia was able to compete or if they had competed at worlds this year and got similar results as the olympics. Pointless but it would be interesting.

Let us hope the joy is real.....and I know hard work can help a wounded person...she is a beautiful skater, and I am not a doctor, but I worry about one more bad fall hitting her head.

I agree. But if those instagram vids start showing 3-3s, I would raise an eyebrow.
I would think chances are zero. She used to skate singles, always out of top ten at senior nationals. Always in top five at nationals in pairs. And she will be 27 next month.

I hope she has someone in her life - her mom? Who would sit her down and make her stop if it’s not doctor approved.

I dont know if anyone can make someone of legal age do anything they dont want to do, even if it makes sense. I dont know that seeing as how her parents are coaches, they would try...they would certainly discuss it with her.....but in the end, its her decision. Sergei G. know of his heart condition.....

I've never heard that Sergei knew of his condition. I can't imagine a pair skater would risk his own safety and that of his partner in that way -- skating with a potentially sudden, fatal condition. I remember it being a defect he was born with, but not known before his death. But I'm just going off memory and could be wrong.

I am going by a tv blurb on the death I saw in the last century....I remember being really bummed out that day...they were so wonderful. Even in the 1990s, the state of the art at the time sports medicine should have caught this. About that same time or 1996, my wonderful doc who I had for 30 years...she put me on a treadmill all wired up....
"Doctors found that Grinkov had severely clogged coronary arteries (to the point where his arterial opening was reportedly the size of a pinhole), which caused the heart attack; later testing revealed that he also had a genetic risk factor linked with premature heart attacks. The risk factor is called the PLA-2 variant and is also known as the "Grinkov Risk Factor."[11]"
How many folks have you known that have had stints put in?

Her photos are just gorgeous. I will try to embed some here that are on Figure Skating Online IG, (Jason, Mariah, Alexa & Brandon, Nathan, click the arrow to see the other three) that will hopefully inspire folks to go look at all of them on the website:
Good photos. The entire cast is very photogenic! Thanks for sharing.

Jason has posted a "Behind the Scenes" look at SOI. I wish it wasn't in speed-up mode, so I could follow it more.

Ashley has mentioned that her future includes coaching, seminars & shows. The singles skills that she is posting look to be in line with that & not competition. She might be trying to stay on the radar for next year’s SOI — which looks like it will need a female skater or two to replace Alysa & Madi H (and possibly Mirai, Karen & Mariah). SOI wouldn’t need to add her just as a pair.

Fun article on SOI with quotes from many skaters about their SOI experiences.

As in, Madi Hubbell buying her wedding dress while on tour:
I realized that a lot of the things that I was saving [from Instagram] were from the same bridal boutique in San Francisco, so I looked up the distance, and I was like, we have a day off. So finally I just booked my car and was like, I don't know if anyone will be able to go with me, but it ended up being Kaitlin [Hawayek], Jean-Luc [Baker] and Mirai that went with me and it was just to look and see if I really liked the style I thought I did, but I tried one on and I just felt like it was the right one, so we said yes to the dress
