“This is a strange preference, but I love when competitions have microphones (I’m guessing?), so that you can hear the blades on the ice. It sounds so cool, especially with jumps!”

“The fact that owning your own pair of skates and skating once a week can cost hundreds may or may not be one of the reasons that the sport is declining in popularity in certain areas.”

“If, according to Liu's interview, several top US skaters had time on ice rinks since the WC’s were canceled, I wonder why Brown (and apparently Chen) weren't brought in with the rest.”

“Some people talk about skaters in certain areas getting back on ice after quarantine sooner than others as "unfair," well what about the skaters who don't have a huge fed behind them, who don't have a state of the art rink to train on with state of the art coaches and equipment, and those who can barely make enough money to skate, much less get things like professionally choreographed programs, designer costumes, private ice time, and high level coaching? Isn't it always an unfair playing field?”

“Somebody skate to ‘The Mummy’ (1999) soundtrack. I want to hear ‘Imhotep’ on the rink.”
