The Runthrough

What does it mean for men to be "menning"? We break down the oh-so volatile men’s figure skating event in Milan, and explain just why you need to know what a raspberry twist is. You'll get to know who the contenders are, what technical elements will decide medals, and where the real pressure points live. From the number of quads to the mental battle of even trying a quad on the biggest stage in the sport, this is what to watch before the competition begins.

We discuss the team event entries for women's short, pairs' short, and rhythm dance. We also check in with Adam about becoming the grandfather of an Italian plant.

What is the Team event and how did we get here? We break down potential strategies we will expect to see from the countries competing, and try to predict just what will happen in figure skating's newest event. In this preview, we break down the team event at the Winter Olympics, how it works, how teams decide who skates, and where points can be gained or lost. From lineup strategy to emotional carryover between events, this is what to watch as countries battle not just for medals, but for confidence heading into the individual competitions. Whether you’re new to the team format or tracking medal contenders, this preview explains why the team event can shape the entire Olympic figure skating narrative.

After three years of having a skating podcast, it's time to learn some of the rules. Ahead of the Olympics, we go through a refresher of how figure skating works. Adam and Ashley are shocked to learn a couple things about ice dance and they refuse to learn how to calculate components. Good luck to all the skaters who have to actually follow these rules in Milan!!!
