Oh my goodness, I thought they were going down, how did he save that? #2025GPCHN

SB scores for the US Men in running for third spot Tomoki Hiwatashi 245.71 Andrew Torgashev 239.54 Maxim Naumov 226.74 Jacob Sanchez 221.21 Jimmy Ma 218.52 Camden yet to compete this season #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

US ladies SB Amber Glenn 214.78 Isabeau Levito 212.71 Alysa Liu 212.07 That's the standard if Sarah or Bradie want a shot #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

A ! on C/B’s choreographic assisted jumps cause a low score and her level 2 twizzles didn’t help. Their tech score aside, they get 56.42 in PCS vs 58.14 for FB/S last week. #2025GPCHN #GPFigure #figureskating

Eteri loves Bolero in an Olympic season #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

That’s the best SP McBeath/Parkman have ever done! Only the SBS spins were off. #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

Mixed feelings about Sui/Han. They’re rusty as expected and some flashes of a quality we haven’t seen in pairs in the last four years. But tech elements aside, there’s chemistry and a spark missing #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

Zhao Hongbo!! They’ve dragged him out of retirement, too. #GPFigure

Mikhail’s jumps look so easy and that 3A looks like he could add another revolution. #2025GPCHN #GPFigure

U.S. pairs champions Alisa Efimova/Misha Mitrofanov announced that Efimova is seeking a waiver of the usual 3-year waiting period for a U.S. passport. The couple revealed that they were married on 2/1/2024 and Efimova received her green card on 7/27/2024. scboston.org/olympics/ 📷: Robin Ritoss

My goodness, where has this Adam been? #GPFRA

I love this program from Lukas! #GPFRA #GPFigure #gpfrance

This music for Deanna/Max is dull...😴 #GPFRA #GPFigure

Hungarians picked a real banger for their free skate this year. I don’t know that they quite live up to it but I appreciate the effort. #GPFrance #GPFigure #GPFRA

Despite the mistakes, I really like these two programs from the Kovalevs this season. They've struggled to find good material this entire quad and the coaching change seems to have worked for them at least choreographically. #GPFrance #GPFigure #GPFRA

Benoit hanging out with Eteri…ugh #GPFRA #GPFigure

Compared to what we’ve seen from Kao, I’ll take that. #GPFRA #GPFigure

The battle for the US Men third spot is is full swing #GPFigure #GPFra

With the exception of the no loop, technically good skate for Chaeyeon. Completely devoid of emotion though. #GPFRA #GPFigure

She lost about 6 points on calls but a great bounce back skate from Young You #GPFRA #GPFigure

The judging in the RD was ridiculous. I'm looking at you Great Britain, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Georgia. I'd be pissed if I was Marco, too. Heck I am pissed. #GPFRA #GPFigure ⛸️
