After a brief hiatus, we are back with our 2021 ISU World Figure Skating Championships preview episode! We cover some random news, the anticipated arrival of athletes, and what the COVID bubble really means. It wouldn’t be a preview episode without podium predictions (and a fun bet over sour candy)! We also blasted through some Russian Cup Final results and of course the return of Aliona Kostornaia to Sambo-70 in the Kiss & Cry.
