ISU GP 2024/25 Event #5 - Finlandia Trophy - Helsinki, FIN - 15 Nov - 17 Nov, 2024

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.

It's not "Where's Waldo?" but "Which costume..."

Piper and Paul revealed yet another set of costumes for the RD during practice today :D [We saw three different ones between practices and competition in Halifax.]

With the results here, both Kagiyama and Aymoz have secured spots at the Grand Prix Final, joining Ilia Malinin. It is particularly meaningful for Kevin Aymoz as the GPF in Grenoble will be in the rink where he started skating :)
