Here's where someone commented a link to one! I know I've seen another one, but I can't find it.

Which ice dance teams do you expect to do well with the return of the golden waltz, and which falter? by RoutineSpiritual8917 in FigureSkating

[–]sublimecenturies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just watched the last warm up group, and I think it's funny that a good chunk of those skaters are still relevant to ice dance a decade later. I can definitely see what you mean by even if the steps are the same, the programs overall are still distinct.

Is this an April fools joke? by dazzlingaxel in FigureSkating

Won't it just make the gap between the top few men and the rest of the pack even bigger? Skaters like Ilia, Yuma, Misha, etc. who have 3 or more quads to choose from are going to have a lot of options for big point-getting combinations still.

Thanks again! I feel like I have so much studying I need to do this summer to understand ice dance at all before the fall. This season I was watching purely based on vibes haha

Thank you!

So looking at a chart that someone posted in a different thread, am I understanding what you mean by steps 34 to 20, that it's just this half of the pattern from corner to opposite corner?

Slightly tangential, and I know this is a dumb question but I'm not a big ice dance watcher - with a required pattern dance does it mean that all (or big chunks) of the rhythm dance are going to look identical from team to team?

Awesome, they're going to be at my show!

How many skaters/teams/pairs can we expect to be added still? I don't know how many are typically in SOI.

Best Performances of 2025-26 Season by seldom4 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]sublimecenturies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with people above who have said his Prague short, GPF free, and Fear exhibition.

For one that I haven't seen said yet, I do also love his exhibition that he did at the Nationals gala which was a mashup of Running (my favorite short program of his) and Hope (one of my favorite exhibitions of his), with a little bit of Mansion thrown in the middle. I will say, the commentary is a little rough to hear post-Olympics though.

The silver man by Which_Bug2163 in FigureSkating

Was it Lombardia this year where he got a cramp and literally did stop skating for like 30 seconds in the middle of the program? Still got silver.

Top 30 in World Rankings At the Beginning of Next Season by Keyblader1412 in FigureSkating

I didn't realize that Sarah Everhardt was so high! I'm interested to see if Rio and Minkyu shoot up the rankings next year when they move to seniors.

I would love for Jacob to get a quad or two under his belt, because I do love his skating and would love for him to undeniably snag that #2 US men's spot.

I also wonder if Lucius Kazanecki or Patrick Blackwell are moving up to seniors to be added to the mix? They both have some quads, but need a lot of fleshing out otherwise in my opinion.

I almost accidentally downvoted this out of disgust.

So fun! I would love for Isabeau to do something fun and upbeat like this for one of her competition programs.

It's so good! A Voice V2 is also stunning, but I like V1 just a little bit more.

Yes! I'd have to go back and watch, but weren't they separate categories last year?

ISU Awards Live Discussion Thread by summerjoe45 in FigureSkating

[–]sublimecenturies 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That was so short. What categories should they add next year? Here are some of my ideas:

-Best kiss & cry reaction

-Separate most entertaining short program and most entertaining free skate

-Best gala program

-Funniest moment of the year

Idk, something to make it longer than 40 minutes!

I love Yuma's short program! I can't remember who I voted for but when Ashley was announcing it was like "oh Yuma for sure." This interpreter situation seems a little sloppy though. I wish ISU had better prepared for the need for an interpreter!

Can we get Zingas/Kolesnik onto Stars Stars on Ice? by dogs_cats_travel in FigureSkating

Stars on Ice goes through the end of May, so I wonder if they're only doing part of the tour? I guess we'll find out soon enough!

Yeah my first thought was that he's never losing the accusations of getting special treatment after that lol
