What are you most looking forward to this new season? (2021-22)

[yume]

Nationals.

 

[Hadassa]

Russian nationals will be epic and heartbreaking at the same time. I am also looking forward to see a Russian sweep at the Olympics and Yuma Kagiyama winning gold. I hope better programs for this season as well.

More beautiful skating from my beautiful Gracie.

Donovan at the Olympics!

Aussie skaters succeeding at Neblehorn.

Local Russian events.

Success for the Russian men, best of luck to Danill Samsonov in his senior season debut.

Success for T/M.

Competitions in general.

 

[Zora]

I'm mostly looking forward to all the new programs and can't wait for the Russian test skates and Grand Prix series.

I hate to say this, but possibly Jason's last year. I intend to soak in every second.

Jason said in the "Pride" podcast with Nick McCarvel that Rohene had added *even more* features to Sinnerman. Nick said the person who skates after you will be skating on concrete because the ice will have melted.

So that's what I'm looking forward to.

Don't even speak that into the Universe. He's just now getting his quad.

- Russian Test Skates
- Cup of Russia series: I'll always be grateful for how Russia kept providing quality skating content to the world throughout what would have been a very sad figure skating season otherwise. I hope they'll keep up the excellent broadcast quality this season and look forward to seeing all the lesser known Russian skaters once again.
- a JGP and a Challenger stage in Austria and Austrian Nationals hopefully with an audience allowed
- Olga Mikutina and Miriam & Severin at the Olympics. Miriam could become a four-time Olympian and she competed singles and pairs at the Olympics. What a feat!
- Channel One Cup
- Watching and discussing all of the above together with the awesome folks at GSF!

Canadian Nationals, as I perhaps plan to attend in person, health situation pending.

 

[ptvvibezz]

I'm looking forward to seeing Satoko, Young, Sasha, Kaori, Amber, Nathan, Chelsea/Danny, and hopefully Gracie live at Skate America!

 

[Bluediamonds09]

Most looking forward to

*the Georgian ice dance team
*a long tell-all interview with Anastasia gubanova
*wonderful costumes!
*ksenia sinitsina senior debut
*some kind of shakeup in American ice dance and Russian ice dance

 

[catgirl]

1) A hope for gorgeous, young Alena Kostornaia to return and to make her country's team.
2) Nathan winning his Olympic gold.

 

[mikeko666]

Japanese ice dance

 

[Skater Boy]

I am looking forward to the olympics. Will skaters with such potential like Cha, Yan, ET and her mom, You, Liu, Tarasova and Morozov, RIka, Gilles and Porier - will these skaters pull it off at the Olympics. WIll they be the Paul Wylie, Liz Manley of 2022. Who will go to the olympics for Russia in ladies and pairs? How will Aliona and TJ as well as Vanessa and Eric fair in the new skating world.

 

[PaulE]

Japanese ice dance

I personally am looking forward to seeing Kana Muramoto competing again (along with her new partner of course).

 

[DreamSkates]

Any of the above. All of the above. Who makes it onto Olympic teams (esp. USA, Japan & Russia) and who climbs the podiums at the Olympics. And everything in between. Especially the cheering crowds. We are all in this together!

 

[Bluediamonds09]

Easy. Looking forward to the talented underdogs Loena, Ksenia, Deniss, kazakova/reviya. Looking forward to the battle between the Japanese women for 3 spots. The costumes. The omg moments.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Alena K reclaiming her spot atop the sport with great skating and big jumps. But I'd be ok with Kamila on top as well.

Looking to see what next for Evgenia Medvedeva. With the recent interview, I feel like that she is not happy with the whole situation of her comeback to Eteri. And with this recent interview, I feel really sorry for her that she look like that she was force to obey to Eteri and bring back that Anna Karenine program for all show program of Eteri. Because ... it look like that Evgenia in the recent interview that she regret to have ditch her first olympic free program who was more difficult technically to Anna Karenine a technical program with less base value. So, I feel sorry that Eteri force her to bring back that program Anna Karenine for show program, because Evgenia doesn't seem to have accept the whole situation in favor of Alina Zagitova free program with higher base value.

It must have be psychologically hard for her to reskate Anna Karenine after all the bad memorie come with that program ...

I see that her desire to comeback is sincere but Eteri seem to force her to not show off in competitive skating again ...

What next for Evgenia ?

I'm certainly sure that if she comeback to Orser in Canada, that her mind and soul would be in her better place, and that her true personnality on the ice will shine again.

I hope that we will have some new about Evgenia this season positive and that she find a way to comeback to competive skating without Eteri in her feet
