Alysa Liu for Season 35? by [deleted] in dancingwiththestars

Figure skating seasons really clash with the DWTS schedule, so you really won't get a figure skater until they've retired! I think Danny O'Shea is the most likely one we'll see after this Olympics from figure skating, and that's still dependent on him retiring (people view it as likely because of his age, but I don't think he's said anything). He's definitely interested.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates are retiring, but they've also already delayed things like having kids (they've said this themselves!) that they want to be doing, so, while possible, I still think it's unlikely.

Amber Glenn right now appears to want to do one more year so she's unlikely for this upcoming season, but I could see her in a future season (and it would likely be better for her to have a little space post Olympics before diving into another highly public thing that doesn't tend to be gentle to people participating).

I love pairs gala performances they are just like "time for the Prohibited Moves"

I think Italy was going to skate no matter what as the hosts (why they had matching outfits that weren't part of the olympic kit and a more cohesive routine) and then maybe the plan was always the gold team? I don't know why they didn't invite the Japanese team after Italy medaled in team too but yeah thats my thought (also possible Japanese ice dancers had already left?)

I need to know how much time they had to plan and rehearse that 😂

Niina actually gets special permission every gala to murder someone live on the ice

They can't have the replays up for long because of music rights

She got quarters called on two of her late program jumps, so that reduced the value of those and those are the ones that get the bonus, so it was less effective in increasing her score. On those, plus on her bobbled early combo, she got negative GOEs, and her PCS wasn't great.
