In our last competition recap of the season, we break down the roller coaster of a men's event at the world championships, including the last skates of some of our favourite skaters, the emergence of other new exciting skaters, and the risk/reward factor of performing 5+ quads in a free skate.

The 2018 World Championships had a very strongly skated ice dance event, and we break down the many up and coming teams jockeying for position in the top ten, possible retirements and how they might affect the standings in countries like the US and Russia, and whether any team can come close to challenging Papadakis and Cizeron for gold.

The ladies event at the 2018 World Championships was an unpredictable one, and we discuss our surprise at who was (and wasn't) on the podium, whether the many underrotations calls were fair, and the unpredictability of the ladies field in the next few seasons to come.

We are overwhelmed by the strength of pairs as an overall discipline in our recap of their last competition of the season, and we delve into how difficult it now is to get into the top ten and gain a country three spots at worlds, why more teams should make it to the freeskate, and our awe that there seems to be no age limit for skaters who want to keep competing in pairs.

The men's event was full of ups and downs at the Junior World Championships, and we delve into the struggle for consistency among the junior men, our great disappointment when in-competition injuries derail opportunities for skaters, and the importance of field moves for developing skaters to make their performances more engaging.

Continuing our coverage of the Junior World Championships we break down the ladies event, including Alexandra Trusova's history making quads. We revel in the insane talent of the top ladies here and discuss the possible future prevalence of quads and triple axels, who might be moving into the senior ranks, and how these young skaters can handle the transition through puberty into a successful senior skating career.

The pairs event saw a Russian sweep at these Junior World Championships, and we discuss the very young ages of most of the skaters in this event, how to differentiate between all of the fantastic Russian teams, and how to encourage the growth of pairs skating in new countries at the junior level when there are so few opportunities for young pairs skaters to compete.

In our first breakdown of the 2018 Junior World Championships we delve into the fantastic growth of ice dance in the junior ranks, and debate our favourite Russian ice dance styles, which teams are ready to make the move to senior, and just what judges are looking for in junior skaters.

The Olympics are over, and we decided to take some time to review some of the performances from the Gala and wrap up the Olympics as a whole. Plus we preview the next competition coming up, the 2018 Junior World Championships.

The final competition segment for figure skating was the ladies freeskate, and it was a roller coaster of emotions. We discuss the devastation of perfection not being quite enough, the difficulties of holding up under Olympic pressure, and the strong technical proficiency that's now necessary to contend with the best ladies skaters in the world.
