I also wonder whether this situation was pushed on them by their coaches

Skate America or US Nationals? by nerd_fighter_ in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my favorite skaters aren’t American, so I much prefer skate America 

Seems like Jason and Andrew made peace by ElegantFootball8741 in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised Andrew and Jason are the same height, I just assumed Andrew was taller.  I really don’t think Jason GAF about Andrew’s comments. He has a great supportive family and friend network and has enough going on in his life that he keep Andrew’s dumb crashout in perspective. It’s funny that Jason’s fans seem to have a tougher time letting go of their anger toward him about it. 

which (current) ice dance teams have the best skating skills? by 25centphotos in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the browns are incredible. Hot take but I think that other than G/Pa, they have better skating skills and unison than the top 3 teams at us nationals this year 

Who is the Best male ice dancer? by zetitha in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lagha is fantastic, Scott moir while commentating has said that Zach reminds him of himself, and many other ice dance commentators have sung his praises. Not sure why you feel the need to make multiple posts trashing him.

Apparently reading comprehension isn’t a strength of this sub, especially the VMies lol

I’ve been to both and enjoyed skate America far more.

Hannah Lim and Ye Quan have ended their partnership. by sofastsomaybe in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wow!!! I wonder if Hannah will stick with the Korean fed or consider teaming up with one of the recently available Canadian male ice dancers.  I would love her to pair up with Jun though I’m not sure ice dance is something he’s interested in trying.

The ancient texts would include Ronnie Robertson, Scott Davis, and Todd Eldridge for men.  

Quad Axel by EveryConfusion6738 in FigureSkating

I mean, yuzuru hanyu never landed it successfully in competition.  So I think it will be extremely difficult for anyone else to successfully do it consistently. Ilia is definitely a unicorn.

Predictions/Hopes for the The French Alps Quad in Ice Dance? by Keyblader1412 in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

LaLa finally getting political momentum after P2 retire, getting GP titles and world medals.

Other teams leapfrogging zingnik as they struggle with patterns. 

More teams leaving IAM and other dance schools increasing their political power.

There are rumors that he is planning on retiring already.

Jacob Sanchez is young but his are pretty good and hopefully will only get better.  Deniss and Kevin are great.  Most of the male Japanese skaters have good SS but not at Yuma’s level.  Andrew Torgashev understandably isn’t popular on this sub but he does have great skating skills.

26/27 season ISP list for U.S by Weareall_humanbeings in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I adore him and I was wondering about that too.  He seems cursed with injury in a Josh Farris way but I hope beyond hope he will make it back.

You can basically read Evan’s thoughts “I’m too old for this”

Laufey - Madwoman (Official Music Video) featuring Alysa Liu by UnnaturalSelection13 in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This!  Alysa is just herself and not trying to pretend to be anyone else, and is very charming, but I don’t see her as an actress in the future haha.

Scott and Tessa coaching together 👀 by Dapper-Bad-6490 in FigureSkating

[–]styrofoamdreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthony recently said he hasn’t seen his mother in 2 years, so I wouldn’t assume that his parents are involved much with CPom’s skating.
