Thanks for the welcome! As painful as it must have been for Andrew to perform that poorly at a home Worlds, at least it wasn’t this fall (or Nationals, not making the World team). He does seem to have the support of Polina, Ashley, Adam and some other big name skaters.
The mental game has to be one of the hardest aspects of competitive skating, especially in singles when you’re all alone on the ice. It may be harder to “let loose” for someone who is quiet and introverted as Andrew appears to be. I wonder if he has thought about using a sports psychologist, which seems to have helped Nathan among other skaters.

. Anyway, I’m new to the Torg fandom but a fs fan so old I vaguely remember watching Janet Lynn, way way back. 
Anyway, when I was watching a bunch of YTs as I worked, one came up in autoplay of a press conference with Jason, Ilia, and Andrew. I don’t even know what it was from. (Maybe just Witchita!) But it seemed to have been misdated as 2023 season when it is 2024 season (maybe someone knows what this is?). The press (Christine, Phil) were really hammering Ilia about his sloppy program and Jason was rushing to his defense for attacking him, speaking about the years-long work with a sports psychologist he (Jason) had done and how she still had to convince him that he was mentally prepared and to believe in himself. It was very funny and disarming.

I don’t see the link to his dog’s page, I hope he still has him.
, to do their best. This could be motivation for another great GP season.
