Simone does fulls on a backyard trampoline. Me: a comeback is in motion. ha I want that in-ground trampoline

[Kim @kimber1235]

Claire and Hezly aren't at the Classic meet, hope they're doing well, it's not like that gym to skip anything and rest.

[Kim @kimber1235]

So is the whole gymnastics team returning to try for another Olympics, it's especially good because we have like no gymnasts. The Sunisa Lee comeback is interesting, she def has it in her if she stays healthy. Simone, you're next.

[Kim @kimber1235]

What's Kaitlyn's issue with JeanLuc, because he's competing with someone else, that is what happens when you bow out of competition yourself, your partner is free to get a new one.

[Kim @kimber1235]

I remember when Benoit was just Kaori's choreographer; now he is everyone's choreographer lol

[Kim @kimber1235]

Katelyn Ohashi back in competition is so surreal, most unexpected comeback ever, love this for her, hope she enjoys her comeback. Good skill level on beam to start.

[Kim @kimber1235]

I guess we will be getting a new Deanna partnership soon, but I can't picture her sitting out a year. But she'd do about anything to skate.

[Kim @kimber1235]

All the US pairs swapping their partners is just amusing. Not sure what will come out of all the shuffling, but I hope they all find what they are looking for lol. Shin/Howe I mean sure why not.

[Kim @kimber1235]

Deanna at our pair camp is amusing, like who does she think we have who'd be suitable for her level.

[Kim @kimber1235]

The way Jackie wants to rejudge a whole World Championships from 7 years ago is an impressive level of skating fandom lol

[Kim @kimber1235]

Are there are like 9 established pair teams remaining. How will they fill 48 GP slots with that. Some of them will get new partners but still.

[Kim @kimber1235]

Gymnastics is talking about an NHK Trophy and it makes me miss skating season, lol didn't know they had one too.

[Kim @kimber1235]

All the U.S. pairs breaking up, and US Figure Skating does a feature on another pair skater who also left her partnership too soon to promote helicopter parenting.

[Kim @kimber1235]

SOI crowds are always packed in the Olympic year when we have stars in the Olympics.

[Kim @kimber1235]

How do skaters from the Olympics already have new programs choreographed. 😭 Like go on tour and unwind pls so you're fresh throughout the next quad.

[Kim @kimber1235]

Yeah Brandon Frazier smokescigars, an asthmatic skater. Well ex-skater. Him and his partner, welp, not the best habits and I guess why the partnership didn't really last despite pretty immediate World podiums.

[Kim @kimber1235]

M/K's retirement isn't surprising given they won the Olympics in such grand fashion, but how many more pairs retirements/splits until we can't have a GP series for pairs, at least not 6 events. You can't have a GP series w/ a bunch of barely passable Jr teams lol😭

[Kim @kimber1235]

I made a list of all the Olympic events I wanna go watch in 2028 and now I'm realizing it would cost me like 18K 😂

[Kim @kimber1235]

Alysa saying she doesn't care about the medals and results I think is mostly just a way to keep the pressure off of her and stay loose, not that she's so carefree that she genuinely doesn't care how she does. You can tell she's disciplined and very much wants to do well.

[Kim @kimber1235]

What a dream free skate for Kaori.😭 4-time World Champion. Kinda wish she got to do this at the Olympics too, but she will certainly take it.
