So proud of @TaliaBarrington for writing this piece with @TheAtlantic about how climate change and social media are pushing winter sports enthusiasts to new heights, with sometime disastrous results.
I… was just published in @theatlantic ! Thank you to my amazing editor @rachgutman and the whole team!
“You may be doing something that’s a low-risk sport”—ice-skating, snowshoeing, and the like—“but the consequences are very high…”

@SkatingScores@choreosequence I think at the very least, we can encourage our current competitive skaters to work more on their presentation… by at least airing the Sunday exhibitions in a novel way. Right now in the U.S. they are largely glossed over, and we wonder why there’s so little audience at shows.
Heads up Italy! I’m excited to announce that I will be going on tour with @IceShow_Italy next month. The first show in Brunico will be extra special; you won’t want to miss it 😉 🇮🇹
Yuzuru Hanyu’s ‘Ice Story’ appearing on Disney+ feels, to me, like the start of an era where a well-produced, live-to-tape skating exhibition can be picked up by a streaming platform and delivered to new audiences. Who’s with me on this?
@TaliaBarrington interviewed @AdamRippon about tonight’s episode of @StarsOnMarsFOX, and the confrontation with Lance Armstrong regarding trans athletes and “fair sport”. It’s worth a read. Also the show is actually pretty fun to watch.

A thread: Glimpse into a new project with Olympic medalists @MadiHubbell & @GabriellaPks, working together to show that the sport of ice dance has room for partnerships of any gender.
