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.
Thanks so much Elizabeth. I hope to watch some of the skating today now that I am back home. It makes me a little sad that Thornhill is no more, but I know it was a hard competition to get to if you were from out of town. You had to stay in Markham and there are seemingly no hotels in Thornhill, only a Bed and Breakfast. It was problematic iykwim.
Have a great Friday!

I've been watching the live stream off and on - both the North American (Novice) events and the Ontario sectional events. I watched the short programs of the senior women and men this evening - Keegan Messing was amazing for this early in the season!!

I was going to post the same thing about Keegan!! I would not be surprised if he gets a world medal this year, or at least is close to it in the top 5!! He keeps getting better despite that he's on the older side for a skater just reaching his peak!

Thanks for posting the video of Keegan's short Elizabeth. He is a bit of Scotty, Kurt and Patrick--with his own personality and little nuances-- in one compact package. I absolutely love him!
Any word what’s happening with Roman and why he withdrew?

He's great. All the champion skaters that have been named who he has pieces of, I thought I could see also a little Brian Orser in his skate as well about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through. He still takes a pause before jumping though, and most of the skaters he may have pieces of just threw those jumps in without hesitation. I expect he'll get there in time.
