The gold medal winner had the skate of her life. She's obviously worked very hard this past year. If only she'd worked on humility.

Did anyone notice, in the kiss & cry area the coaches and/or choreographer sit right next to their students, usually holding their arms, hands, or whatever? When the score appears, they hug their students.

In the winners case, you could fit another person between the winner and her coaches. When her scores came up, she put her arms over both coaches shoulders. She is always in control.

The men's competition should be a good one.

lulu, I feel the same way.

Stay safe with the impending storm/blizzard coming our way.

What a fantastic show this is......and a wonderful way to be entertained on a very gloomy Sunday afternoon. Could watch this every day......

Between the figure skating and anything to do with the skiing, I love........

I love Jason too but Adam Rippon has been a favorite of mine since he was a Junior skater. He skated beautifully.

I enjoyed all the disciplines during this Nationals.

Yes, I also remember Torville and Dean. They were just wonderful. I watched last night and most of this afternoon's skating. Have to say that I don't care for the two commentators at all. I also agree about the ladies winner. She may be a good skater, but to me she comes across as not a very nice person.

Ashley had a great skate but needs to work on her humility. Gracie is classy on and off the ice. I was happy that Jason won. Seems like such a nice kid.

The European Championship is taking place now. As expected the Russian ladies are doing well.

Andrei Bukin was mentioned as a former Russian ice dance gold medalist. His son competed in the ice dance competition this week.
