As skating parents, we see it all: the nerves, the pressure, the quiet self-doubt after a fall. Fans see the beauty and strength on the ice, but behind it is a mental game that’s just as tough. --> https://t.co/sxhEkh0tzZ

Sport psychologist Katie Castle shares how boy skaters can find confidence, balance, and belief in themselves. Read the article on https://t.co/87rlmAjKq1

@isabelracal @fs_gossips That is also what was explained to me -- you need to have citizenship; and if not , residency. For pairs/dance, one must be a citizen

This anniversary cuts deep. My youngest was part of NDT 2025. He and Spencer Lane swapped NDT jackets—he still has Spencer’s. Three of the kids were from our old rink, shared our coach, and I’ve known them since they were very little. Their parents were among my closest friends. We even ate together at a Korean hotpot in Wichita to celebrate the end of camp the night before the crash. Such a devastating loss. Holding the families close in my heart and prayers.

To witness the announcement of the 2026 Olympic Figure Skating Team was incredibly memorable.
This team is arguably the strongest team ever for @USFigureSkating
And beyond their talent, they are ALL great people.

The following Maxim Naumov quote didn't make it into my Globe story because of how late the press conference went:
“I don’t even have the words of what I had to overcome to be here. I’m just grateful that I have two arms, two legs…I’m thankful and it’s in God’s hands.”

I have known Ilia as a young kid and even then, anyone can see that he's such a special one-of-kind talent. So happy to see #quadgod Ilia Malinin make it to his first Olympics. The way he has pushed the #figureskating sport is just amazing to watch
