I just can't imagine she'd switch to singles.Ashley Cain has sure posted a bunch of videos showing her in fighting condition doing lots of singles skating very well.....

@ this point, I can't imagine that happening, either. Nevertheless, it's great to see her back on the ice!I just can't imagine she'd switch to singles.
And so happy!@ 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.Alexa and Brandon kind of just "started". I can see them going 1 more season...at least.
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.And so happy!
I agree. But if those instagram vids start showing 3-3s, I would raise an eyebrow.I just can't imagine she'd switch to singles.
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 agree. But if those instagram vids start showing 3-3s, I would raise an eyebrow.
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.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 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 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'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 dont know if anyone can make someone of legal age do anything they dont want to do, even if it makes sense.

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....I've never heard that Sergei knew of his condition.

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