Catching up on JGP and GP and I just loved this team. I haven’t been able to watch much skating for a while so I’m getting familiar with all the teams. Loved Tkachenko/Kiliakov as well.
 
A fun show skate that N/M did in Vail, Colorado right before the holidays.

 
Big news from Artem and Leah. Apparently, they are engaged! I thought maybe they were dating, but I did not see this coming, mostly because of their young age. I don't see an official announcement from either Artem or Leah on their individual or joint Instagram pages, but these photos published by their photographer tell the story. According to The Knot, they have set a date of June 1. I’ve already seen snarky and critical comments on another site due to their age, a perceived uneven power dynamic (I don’t see this as they're close in age) and his citizenship status.
