We complete our wrap-up of this crazy weekend of figure skating with the pairs and ladies events at JGP Richmond, including the importance of maintaining a good interpersonal relationship with your pairs partner, the quad arms race among the Russian junior ladies, and which pair team might sneak in to make the JGP final at the next and last JGP pairs event.

The third competition taking place on this busy weekend of figure skating was the fourth JGP event in Richmond, BC. We break down the Ice Dance and Men's events, including the pressures of winning your first ever JGP event, the strength of this competition's free dance event, and how hard it is to develop unison as a new junior dance team.

We continue our discussion of this weekend's second competition with the Pairs and Ladies events, including our nervousness about lifts at altitude, our love for everything Satoko Miyahara does, and why consistently finishing in fourth place can be a good thing.

We break down the Ice Dance and Men's events of the second competition of the weekend, including the maturity needed to properly portray the Tango Romantica, the prevalence of Leonardo DiCaprio's voice in skating programs, and how hard it is to skate a program full of quads cleanly at altitude.

To wrap up our Lombardia recap of the Ice Dance and Men's events, we break down the importance and difficulty of free-leg extension in the Tango Romantica, our awe at the structure of Shoma Uno's freeskate, and why a waxel can be of the utmost importance in a freeskate.

It's a busy weekend of figure skating, but we're watching all of it! We begin recapping the Lombardia Trophy with pairs and ladies, and discuss a new darker look for Zabiiako and Enbert, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva's joy of skating, and why we're not concerned about a rough short program from Kaori Sakamoto.

We break down all three disciplines of the third Junior Grand Prix event in Kaunas, including Trusova's quad insanity, Torgashev's narrow victory and Final chances, and revel in a young sibling team who has all of our favourite tricks up their sleeves.

We continue to break down the second Junior Grand Prix event of the season with pairs and ladies, including the cutthroat competition to earn a second JGP assignment, a preponderance of step sequence falls by Russian pairs, and the importance of fully understanding the context of the piece of music you're skating to.

There were lots of streaming issues for the second Junior Grand Prix event of the season, but we try to discuss what we can about the men and ice dance despite the stream's video and audio issues. We discuss the rules for new choreographic elements in ice dance, how Stephane Lambiel choreographs for different skaters, and how Russian ice dancers seem to be moving in a modern dance direction.

We continue recapping the first Junior Grand Prix event of the skating season with a break down of the men's and ice dance events. We discuss the difficulty of skating clean in a Junior men's event, how costume and makeup can impact your presentation, and bring out the shame bell for the first time to lament anthem issues and refereeing toys on the ice.
