The Rocker Skating Podcast

If this week was any indication, the Olympic Season is about to kick into ultra-high gear. With "an embarrassment of riches" in the early competitions this week, Jackie and Michelle had plenty to break down, including their obsessions this time around (hint: Saki Miyake makes more than one list!).

Missed the program announcements and event headlines from the last week? Never fear, Jackie and Michelle are here!

In this episode of the Rocker Skating Podcast, Jackie Wong and Michelle Ellis dive into a big week in figure skating, starting with all the buzz from the French Masters. They break down standout performances across the board.

They talk Kevin Aymoz and Adam Siao Him Fa.

But of course, the debut of Ice dancers Laurence Fournier-Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron stole the show — though the jury’s still out on whether the programs really showcase what makes this team unique.

Over at the Junior Grand Prix, Yujae Kim impressed with lightning-fast rotations. Minkyu Seo, skating to choreography by Patrick Chan, showed real star potential. In pairs, Guo and Zhang landed a huge quad twist... or, did they? (They did. Even if the caller didn't catch it.)

Jackie and Michelle tackle this week's news headlines... and for some reason, the “Dun dun... dun dun... dun dun dun dun...” of Jaws softly playing in the background...

This week, Jackie and Michelle tackle the opening Junior Grand Prix event in Latvia, the announcement of entries for the Skate to Milano event later this fall, and their obsessions of the week.

Did you hear?!

Well, if you didn't, Jackie and Michelle have you covered with the biggest news of the week... Rocker Skating Podcast style.

In this episode of the Rocker Skating Podcast, hosts Jackie Wong and Michelle Ellis discuss the upcoming Olympic season, highlighting exciting program debuts, music selections, and the impact of Champs Camp on skater preparations. They delve into the emotional weight of music choices, the strategy behind recycling programs, and the influence of iconic artists like Madonna on this season's performances. The conversation also touches on trends in ice dance music and the importance of pushing creative boundaries in skating.

In the inaugural episode of the Rocker Skating Podcast, hosts Jackie Wong and Michelle Ellis discuss the highlights from the Cranberry Cup, focusing on both men's and women's performances.

Where in the world is Jackie Wong, you ask? Yes! He is in Japan for perhaps the most competitive National Championship in the world. And while he's there, Michelle joined in to preview the event with Olympic Team spots on the line.
