Shib-Sibs to sit out 2018-19 season

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Our experience at the Olympic Games was the result of four years of relentless training and dedication. While we are still young and love competing and performing, we have exciting projects that we have the opportunity to work on both together and individually.

I think it's wise for them to step aside now. The writing is on the wall that their place as top USA ice dancers is in serious jeopardy. Take the Olympic medal and run!
