Just started a pre nap rewatch of the women’s SP and I realized I slept through every single performance except Kaori
It’s God/the universe all reached out and said “Yo Kaori is skating wake your bitch ass up” and I did

⛸️ This weekend at #SCI25, we heard what it sounds like when skaters -- with official permission -- use music generated by A.I. In short: not great. There's a good story here: www.patreon.com/posts/mrazko...

Caught up with the #SCI25 RD - here are my unhinged thoughts
✨Lauriault/Le Gac's Thunder slaps even harder than last time, Marie-Jade's costume is🔥
✨Lim/Quan: I'm living for the attention to detail
✨Allisaulius: how much chest can you show until nippelgate?
✨Paul Poirier is too sexy for this corset

I loved the first version of Piper and Paul's Vincent FD but V2 is not quite there yet. But I think they need to rework the RD more -- their skating doesn't really match their music. Can they just do a Shania RD already? #SCI25

Kaitlyn Weaver is a big fan of Leah & Artem's skating skills, and said it's unfortunate that is no longer rewarded as much as acrobatics -- ice dance is becoming "all tricks and no treats." SHE GETS IT.
She was also fangirling hard over Hannah & Ye's FD. They remind me of W/P's skating. #SCI25

My kids LaLa and CPom went head-to-head, and LaLa got the bronze with an updated White Crow FD (sorry to B/S).
I really like the changes CPom made to their Notre Dame FD already. They need to dial the drama up to 12 in the character step! #SCI25

Free Dance shakeup at #SCI25!
It's significant that Allison & Saulius won the FD, even though P2 botched a curve lift. Piper & Paul have to thank their lucky stars that their lead from the RD saved their 🥇.

Well..big mistake aside.. Gilles/Poirier Vincent reimagined program is STUNNING. Absolutely stunning. No other words. This clean skated imo is in running to Olympic gold. #SCI25

So confused sometimes by ice dance scores. I saw all day Lajoie and Lagha over 120. Absolutely gorgeous program yet only 117. Thought Carreira and Ponomarenko was low too but I did agree with it being behind the Canadians #SCI25

Wow didn’t have Selevko getting a 🥈 at #SCI25 good for him. As for Roman and Stephen…looking the strongest they have and rm to grow but pleasantly surprised with both. Ilia.. is. Insane.. 23 plus pts on his SEQ. Tech score at 138.. 228.97 in fs 333.81 With no 4A 😵💫🤯

#SCI25 #GPFigure #FigureSkating After the way Gabriella Papadakis schooled Johnny Weir on dance spins earlier in the season, will we ever see an ice dancer in the broadcast booth again on NBC?
(Boy do I miss the days when Tracy Wilson did commentary, but she's in a much better place now.)
