Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Question & Answer Week; Reaction to Ice Dance Judging Video
Q: With all the scoring drama, could it carry into the Olympics? How can judges avoid that?
I started this video by saying, I think they've opened the door for now, every single person to angle it. They're going to angle it now, whatever happens, that their team was screwed out of something.
Question & Answer Week; Reaction to Ice Dance Judging Video
Q: For the next season, what would you recommend to the Ice Dance Technical Committee to better balance technique and entertainment?
They need to go back to the origins, and they need to stray away far away from where they're at now. The programs are literally, you have a skater competing in the Grand Prix that says, there's no time for the program because we're just focused on this choreographic element.
Olympic Qualifier Skate to Milano Day 3 Men's Final & Event Wrap-Up
Q: Second question, I mean, if he's really... You think that him not competing all season is going to be a benefit or a hindrance compared to the people that are getting out there five, six, seven, eight times before they show up to the Olympics?
It depends on how he performs in the season; typical Russian men are wildly inconsistent, so a lack of competition might hinder him.
Olympic Qualifier Skate to Milano Day 3 Men's Final & Event Wrap-Up
Q: First question, at the Olympics, does he have any chance to see a big bump in the PCS?
There might be a little boost at the Olympics, but overall, consistency in performance seems crucial for PCS improvement.
