Event #1 Junior Grand Prix 18-21 Aug 2021 - Courchevel, FRA

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.

I thought she was incredible! It was funny as I said, "wow" and then Ted Barton said wow right afterwards! :lol: We have a bright future in Women's skating. Yes, I typed Ladies initially. This is going to take some getting used to (if I ever do)!

The video of the Exhibition Gala (live streaming starting at 2:30 p.m. EDT on 21 August): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qkp0-VcRMM

The on-ice host/singer is Fernand Fedronic. He is a former competitive skater and a lyrical tenor.

Nice to see Canadian content from all three disciplines :)

We never said "Gentlemen" so saying "Ladies" was a bit of a misnomer :)

If you managed to change to saying Thunder Bay, I think you can manage this change too :D

Some history was made in Courcheval when a team representing Korea won a medal in ice dance. They train at I.AM in Montreal

Their rhythm dance is worth checking out: https://t.co/W13tlp5N6z?amp=1

As is their free dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdsXbH7bL78

Their Exhibition Gala performance: https://t.co/jUiDefgdBO?amp=1

No, I grew up in Manitoba and never had to make the name change. At 10 years old in 1970, I definitely wasn't aware of it. As for "Ladies" it's pretty ingrained, but I'll adjust I'm sure.
