The Rocker Skating Podcast

It's the news of the week - with the latest citizenship updates, injuries and recoveries, program changes and more.

What a weekend of skating! Jackie and Michelle are back to see if they can make sense of the scoring in Helskini, the Grand Prix Final rosters, and the Olympic Team selection criteria and calculations.

And then, there was one. One last Grand Prix stop. But plenty of Final qualification drama to go around. Jackie and Michelle preview this weekend's competition in Finland where Yuma Kagiyama leads the pack for the men (and Jason Brown still has a shot at the Final), Mone Chiba and Amber Glenn look to lock in their spot in the Final six, and the pairs and dance fields are so stacked it might as well be the World Championships!

Trying to figure out who's in, who's out and who can decide their own fate this weekend at Finlandia? So are we. Thankfully, Jackie's done all the math and is ready to explain the most likely and the most unlikely scenarios heading into the last Grand Prix event of the season.

Still in the afterglow of Skate America in Lake Placid, Jackie brings you a solo News of the Week episode with updates on injuries and withdrawals, plus NRW Trophy results and their Olympic qualification ramifications.

A snow storm can't keep Jackie from driving home from Lake Placid, or Michelle from joining him for their immediate post-Skate America thoughts!

Harsh technical calls, impressive program improvements, an impressive women's top 4, and yes -- the week's obsessions that came from, surprisingly, that men's event. It's all part of the latest Grand Prix recap on The Rocker Skating Podcast.

It's an early edition of this week's Grand Prix preview, since both Jackie and Michelle are on their way to Lake Placid for Skate America this weekend. But before taking off on their long days of travel, they shared their thoughts, expectations, and hopes for the weekend's competition (including their high hopes for a Lake Placid event without too much drama to add to the lore!).

Can Alysa Liu win her first Grand Prix title? What have Chock and Bates changed since their season debut? Who will win the showdown between co-favorites in the Pairs event? And the for the men... is it truly anyone's game?

This week, there's plenty of news to go around, from citizenship updates to Skate America entry changes, and a week's worth of non-grand prix competition results to follow. Jackie and Michelle talk all things figure skating news in another episode of News of the Week.

The return of the Shibutanis, the battle between Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato, a spectacular pairs event, and the dream competition for Kaori Sakamoto... Jackie and Michelle are back with their thoughts on the weekend of skating in Japan.

Another week, another Grand Prix. And this time, another intriguing comeback. The Shibutanis return for the first time since 2018, while Sui and Han try to improve on the next stop of their comeback trail.

And then there's Yuma Kagiyama and Kaori Sakamoto, plus a whole host of challengers ready to push for Grand Prix Final spots, Olympic qualifications, and season's bests.

And Jackie and Michelle are ready for all of it.
