Alex, women are not in order of PB heh. (I'll check myself out, I swear. And, like take anti-anxiety medicine or something).

I am hoping she switches the skirt off of this dress to make it easier.
Here are still pictures of the dress. Like the red on the wrists also.

Just read an interview with C/B on fsgossip. https://fs-gossips.com/14731/

She praises the skirt a lot, so I guess there were no changes.

They also say how rare it is to have a female matador with a skirt as matador's cape. I am not strong in memorizing every single dance, but is it really that rare? I thought it was a pretty trivial concept.

Well she is the one who has to skate in it. I hope she has worked out any issues. Honestly I cannot recall ever seeing a female matador in figure skating before and really never thought about it until now. Madi & Evan I wish you good luck with your concept and any changes!

Is there anyone planning to drive to Lake Placid? I haven't driven in upper New York State and am not sure about the road condition. I'd appreciate it if anyone can share some of your experiences or suggestions! Thank you!!

As long as it doesn't snow and I-87 and more importantly the off-road to LP are clean, it's a nice drive, eps. on the highway, but not a short one from any major hub.

Great job to all skaters coaches and teams
Your area all very talented. don't be too hard on yourselves.

This is the first time I am able to watch all sectional in the U.s. I must say to me the U.s. has a very talented group.

The grand prix events. Usually worked or life.

Great job. Keep it up . Keep believing.
Thank you all.

Thank you forumnstaff .

I can't believe how much talent I missed in.past but not grateful for it.

Will there be a gala?

Nope. Half of the GPs don't have one this season...

 

[ramurphy2005]

I can report that they fixed the listing in the cable guide, no more traveling back in time, lol. I don't know when it was fixed because today is the first time I've glanced at it in a few days.
