I wonder why they're in Toronto.
As for whether the Shibs have it easy or not, I would never count out a hungry Bobrova/Soloviev and Elena Ilinykh is still a judges' favorite. If she and Ruslan have the right routines, there's no telling how high they'll score. Then there's Hubbell/Donahue who just keeps improving and reaching heights not many thought was possible. Then at COC, there's Weaver/Poje.

It all depends on programs. We saw what they could do this year with good vehicles; the only thing that held them back in the past was bad ones. (Okay, and maybe some level issues, but mostly programs.) I hope they can come up with something good because it would absolutely destroy me if they pulled another 2012 on us.

He did a couple of exhibition programs, one for Paul/Islam and the other for Virtue/Moir.

A new Shibsibs vlog
Their trip to Sun valley to skate in the show at the resort. Neat behind the scenes view of the outdoor rink, which looks like a fantasy to skate on given the surroundings.
SKATING OUTSIDE. Vlog #35

Almost 4 million views on their channel! :thumbsup:

Oh, my goodness! I can't believe I brain-freezed during that news! (Slinks away cause I can't follow all my figure skating news when I get busy at work
) I can't imagine them not posting a picture and doing a vlog!

I was waiting for these photos since the news of them being invited to concert. Awesome!
Maia was featured in a solo interview with Excelle Sports, a media outlet focused on women's sports/women athletes.

Wonderful honor for the Shibs today ... just a few days after they met Coldplay on Saturday. Exciting times :yay:.
