Love these previews! Am particularly looking forward to US Nationals because I just finished The Favorites, by Layne Fargo, set in ice dancing world. Have you read it? Similar in format to Daisy Jones and the Six, super dramatic and fun. For the full cast audio book, Johnny Weir narrates the character which is based on him…would love your thoughts!
Thank you! Currently have the book on nightstand, and I'm very into what I've read so far, but I've had to put it aside this week since all of my after work time has been reserved to write for this newsletter. Looking forward to picking it back up for post-Nationals come down.
My ideal podium: Gold, Hawayek and Baker; silver, Carreira and Ponomarenko; bronze, Green and Parsons. Yes, I know that Hawayek and Baker aren’t competing, but I said “ideal.” And I’ve been over Chock and Bates for years. Madison Hubbell complained about Christina’s smeared lipstick in the kiss-and-cry at the Grand Prix, so maybe she’ll switch to a smudgeproof formula this weekend. I like Green and Parsons’ “Dance Me to the End of Love,” and Caroline’s murder eyes don’t scare me like Bradie Tennell’s. And I can’t tell Zingas and Kolesnik, Pate and Bye, and Bratti and Somerville apart.
But “Wolfkostin and Tsarevski” is the best ice-dance-team name I’ve ever heard.
I still have a Hawayek and Baker-shaped hole in my heart but I am deeply fond of Christina's Madi Hubbell-assisted glow-up over the last few years. I *always* find myself watching her when they skate.

I miss Hawayek/Baker so much. I keep thinking of ways they could still come back for Milan.
So many beautiful blond waifs, so little time. ;)
Just catching up so don’t know if anyone will see this…but Zingas and Kolesnik are romantic partners off ice.
I see everything, especially when it's confirming my theories about skater romances. Thank you!

Right??? She's straight out of a movie makeover scene with the dramatic transition in her skills.
