So here it is. 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,680 How much menning are we going to get? 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,160 I think a supreme amount of men. This will be amending for the 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,000 ages. I'm still recovering from, I 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,560 mean, frankly, the men and the ice dance from the Olympics I'm 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560 still recovering from. We had another. 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360 Drama of those couple of days. We did another Friday, the 13th 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,920 a couple weeks ago. I was triggered. 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760 I'm like again. I hope Italy is not on the ice, 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,760 wherever he is. Everybody was everybody was 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480 commemorating the one month anniversary of. 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,000 The the day that we live in infamy. 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,720 My goodness. Yeah. 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,360 Or in fame in Kazakhstan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 31 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,960 I know that's going to be in their text, their history 32 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,240 textbooks celebrated. Yeah. 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,520 The coronation of King Shidorov. Speaking of which, King Shidorov 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,960 is not here. He wasn't even on the original 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,640 entries list because he was too busy accepting new cars and 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,800 kissing babies and opening restaurants. 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,760 And I don't know what he's been doing, but he's certainly been 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,639 the toast of Astana and all of Kazakhstan. 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,240 There is at at the Summer Olympics in 2024, there was a 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Filipino gymnast, Carlos Carlos Yulo that won. 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,080 He first won gold medal I believe on vault, I think was 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960 first and it went crazy in the Philippines. 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,800 Every business there was giving him free stuff, money. 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,360 We had a whole running list of it and then he won another gold 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,680 medal and they got even more stuff. 46 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120 And I feel like Shidorov is living that experience. 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Like when you went from a small country, you you become the 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,000 beneficiary of all they have to offer. 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600 Right. I mean, Carlos Ulow is a is a 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760 legend. He's a little brother who just 51 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120 debuted. He's another one, yeah. 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720 Yeah, I was joking. And also also good on vault and 53 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480 floor. Yeah, funny how that is, that 54 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,440 the businesses in the Philippines are going to run out 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,400 of free stuff to give the Ulow brothers. 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Yeah. That's our that's our crossover 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760 pop for you, Scott, Scott Bregman on here at some point. 58 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,840 So we have Shyderuff not here, Matteo Rizzo not here. 59 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,360 Chen Wan Cha just very recently said no. 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,280 And then even more recently, Jason Brown was out and and we 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,920 knew behind the scenes that there was he was, he was 62 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,160 certainly deciding like this was not one of those where it was 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,240 like, oh, he had decided a long time ago and and waited till the 64 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,320 last moment to say, no, he has been. 65 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Yeah, we heard as of last week he hadn't even made-up a 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,480 decision. Made a decision so. 67 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,240 Right. He's been training, he's been, 68 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280 he's still been skating in shows, he's still been keeping, 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,000 you know, conditioning up And so ultimately decided to not go. 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,160 And Jacob Sanchez takes his spot because first alternate Max 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,520 Naumov said no. Second alternate Tomokohi 72 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,960 Watashi retired. Third alternate Jacob Sanchez, 73 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,200 who just came off a fourth place finish at the Junior World 74 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Championships, is now going to make his Senior World 75 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,959 Championships debut. Imagine getting that phone call. 76 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,720 Jacob, don't. Don't, Jacob, don't kill me if I 77 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,560 am spilling secrets. But he's told. 78 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,000 He told me he was snowboarding when he got the call. 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,760 He's young, he can, he'll be fine. 80 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120 That's just he's big, he's training, I mean. 81 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,120 He's been training. Yeah, yeah, they, they have been 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,800 they have continued to be training like, you know, it, it, 83 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,960 it just another couple of weeks, right. 84 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200 Junior World was 2 1/2 weeks ago. 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,440 The real. The real question is did he, 86 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,600 once he got the call, snowboard down the mountain then? 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720 Or did he get on the lift and responsibly right into the 88 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160 bottom and then get off and go home? 89 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:08,280 Jacob's like my ACL is going to stay so, so that that is that is 90 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,640 the the men's withdrawals. And also Matteo Rizzo withdrew 91 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640 and noticed that it was not Nikolai Memola who got the call. 92 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,440 He probably is still recovering from the the injuries and also 93 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,760 very busy, I think with Fashion Week and TikTok and TikTok and 94 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,720 and so Gabriella Fonzipani is going to be did you see there 95 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,840 for the Italians. Someone made a take talk about 96 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,960 Nikolai Memola's Inside Edge. Let's take off. 97 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,320 And they were like, he needs to fix this. 98 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,240 Here it is. And he commented on it. 99 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,680 And he said, girl, I know. Of course he did. 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,280 Of course he did. Nikolai Memola knows everything 101 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:55,960 in the social media space. Fun. 102 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,600 Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right. 103 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,400 So what's going to happen? Will it be the redemption of 104 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680 Ilya Malinen? That is, that is a big one, 105 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,440 right? Last time we saw him, it was a 106 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,440 well, last time we saw him, it was at the exhibition gala. 107 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,160 But the last time we saw him compete, it was a one of those 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,880 programs you'll never want to watch again because it was just 109 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,160 so it was so heartbreaking and. Completely out of character. 110 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560 Completely out of character. I think he'll be fine. 111 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,800 He's done many worlds. I think he'll just skate fine. 112 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,360 I don't, I don't expect any drama. 113 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,960 I'm I'm really worried about the difference Olympics. 114 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Though, Oh my goodness, it is a very different kind of pressure 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920 here. And you know you're not going to 116 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,480 have all the cameras and all the stuff following you everywhere 117 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400 you go and. Snoop Dogg will not be here as 118 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,920 far. As there's no student oh, thank 119 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,440 no Martha, no Snoop Dogg, yeah, yeah, none of that going on. 120 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,960 So it'll be. Jackie Wong. 121 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,520 And Ilia just walks past me. Anyways, that's fine. 122 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,280 So Ilia. And then will it be the 123 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,680 redemption of Yuma Kakiyama I? Just didn't see that free skate 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,600 clean once. Just give it to us clean. 125 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,960 As much as Yuma got his fourth silver medal, it was not a good 126 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,000 skate for him. No. 127 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,080 It just so happened that he rotated everything and didn't 128 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:40,280 have a complete disaster. But you know, I'm sure he he 129 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,840 wants to go back in time and fix that up, but he's got a chance 130 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,800 to become a world champion. So I. 131 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Think his this is one of his best chances so. 132 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,680 Exactly. I do. 133 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:03,360 I do hope that we can see a Turando that is clean because 134 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:12,040 that program is so, so good. Shun Sato after his bronze medal 135 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,040 at the Olympics, how does he do? I mean, you got to then kind of 136 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,320 look at these other guys who were in the mix at the Olympics, 137 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,720 right? Steven Gogolev was literal like. 138 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,640 A spin level A. Spin away. 139 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,360 Yeah, a spin level away from from the from the podium. 140 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240 He is so consistent. I mean, we watched him practice 141 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520 so many times because he got there early for the team event. 142 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,559 He doesn't even make mistakes in practice. 143 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080 He warms up the same way. He gets his jumps out, he does 144 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,559 his run throughs, he doesn't step out of anything. 145 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,440 He's just so, so solid and I reliable, which I feel like we 146 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,440 haven't been able to say about a Canadian men skater in a while. 147 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,560 So I, it's really impressive. And I, I'm, I'm putting him on 148 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,760 the podium. I think he's going to do it. 149 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,920 I'm, I'm putting him up there. Yeah. 150 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,360 Because they have to do 2 programs, you know, and he's the 151 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,680 only one that I really believe is not going to mend. 152 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,480 They do. And I'm not even jinxing them so 153 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,640 when I say that. I know like we're not jinxing 154 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,200 anything anymore at this point because they jinx themselves. 155 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,240 Like, you know. Speaking of redemptions, does 156 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Adam Salhemfah have a redemption? 157 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Does Danielle Grasso have a redemption? 158 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,840 Does Kevin Amos have a redemption like all these guys 159 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,400 who who had moments of brilliance at the Olympics and 160 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,240 then just couldn't get it all together? 161 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,680 I. Would say that Kevin Amos 162 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,200 doesn't need a redemption. He had some issues but he fought 163 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880 pretty hard. I think the redemption would be 164 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,800 from for Europeans, but I think he got that at the Olympics. 165 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,520 He got that at the Olympics. Yeah, he got. 166 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240 That at the Olympics. I'm really interested to see how 167 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Andrew Torgeshev skates. He skated some of his best 168 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,200 performances his last two competitions so. 169 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,560 Like at the Olympics, I've never seen him train better. 170 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,680 And, and, and I think the question is, has he been able to 171 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,320 maintain that's that level of intensity and consistency that 172 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,440 he had at the Olympics? And, you know, has there been 173 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,600 sort of a, a let down from the Olympics and has he been able to 174 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040 to to bring it back up? That's, you know, we'll see it 175 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,440 first day whether his quattos are popping or they're popping. 176 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,080 And he was also going to go on that pizza sampling tour of 177 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,080 Milan after his event ended. So I know I got to ask him about 178 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,160 that. He's recovered from that. 179 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,920 Yeah. Oh, the pizza in Milan. 180 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,880 What am I going to eat in Prague? 181 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:52,000 I eat, eat lots of something. I need to figure it out, you 182 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 know, like, there, there, there. There are other skaters there, 183 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040 too. I mean, Nikkei Ikatsu, same 184 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,240 thing, right? Like Rushdenko. 185 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,120 Rushdenko, European bronze medalists. 186 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,400 What does he do here? Speaking of many, Yeah. 187 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,320 I mean, you know, like you do have to realize, yeah, you do 188 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,240 have to take take a look back at those scores at Europeans and 189 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320 that it was like a 230 something that got him the bronze. 190 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,360 Yeah. That's not going to get him top 191 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,440 10 here, I don't think you know, Although, again, who knows. 192 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,200 I want redemption for Vladimir Ludvan stuff. 193 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,880 I want him to skate well here. I want to see him make the free 194 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680 skate, smoke that cigarette at the start of his program, have a 195 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:41,240 great skate and enjoy himself. That was like one of the most 196 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,840 heartbreaking parts of Milan was him having that short program 197 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,160 implosion and missing the free skate. 198 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,080 I was I feel we were all robbed of the performance that we 199 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880 deserve to see. Yeah, yeah, that would have 200 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,960 been, I mean, that would have been a lot. 201 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,880 That would have been very nice. Let's hope he doesn't do a 202 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,840 triple flip 5 seconds later, single toe again. 203 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,280 That is still one of the iconic combinations of the Olympic 204 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000 Games. But it's crazy because it was so 205 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,880 iconic in that moment and then it became relevant in the 206 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,680 women's event because if Kyrie had done that, she would have 207 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,920 won. She could have held. 208 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,280 That edge for 10 seconds and done the single toe and she 209 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,200 would have won. Yeah, I don't. 210 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,080 I, I, I, I don't care about the song anymore. 211 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320 It's like that. That single toe needed to be 212 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,280 there. Can we also just do a segue back 213 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,440 to the women? Oh yeah. 214 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:49,600 And that Calorie Sakamoto did a a domestic competition about a 215 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,120 week ago. She's not ready. 216 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 She's not ready to say goodbye. No, she's not ready to scape the 217 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,800 guy. But they did not change the 218 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,880 combination. The the the the double toe is 219 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,280 still on the triple Lutz and she fell on the triple flip, so she 220 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,480 had another Rep call. Oh. 221 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,040 My God. They like. 222 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000 All right. Change the combination. 223 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,160 With that double toe on that first flip, this is crazy. 224 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080 All right, you need to do some investigative journalism as soon 225 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 as you hit the ground in Prague and ask what is going on with 226 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,360 that? What's going on? 227 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,240 Oh, she does the solo let's in the short program. 228 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,160 What's wrong with the solo let's in the free skate? 229 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,240 It's the only one she's doing. Miss Nakano, please. 230 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,320 Oh my God, we can't take this. I know. 231 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,080 Yeah. So back to the men. 232 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,120 I'm too. Traumatized to continue 233 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,000 triggered. I know same litvince of 234 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,320 redemption we get another minions from Tommy Querino. 235 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,880 Let's. Go. 236 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:04,320 And you know, like things could lots of things can happen again, 237 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,480 like with the other competitions, it's it's a, it 238 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,000 can be a wide open field. And if if the menning does 239 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:22,360 occur, and it most certainly probably will occur, there could 240 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,920 be some wild, wild standings at the end of this whole thing. 241 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:36,280 We have France, Japan and the US coming in with three spots. 242 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160 I don't know that that's going to, that's going to hold up for, 243 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,400 for for France, but I hope it does. 244 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,160 I don't know if it holds up for the US either. 245 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,400 I, I, I, I think it really, it depends on what 1 you know, Ilya 246 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,760 has to be up there Two, Torgashev has to be as good as 247 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,880 he was at the Olympics or Jacob Sanchez does 2 clean programs 248 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,840 and and they don't hose his components like there's there, 249 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,560 they, they can keep the, the three spots. 250 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,080 Yeah, but it's not, it's not easy. 251 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,680 Yeah, I weirdly have a lot of faith in Jacob. 252 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,160 I don't know why. I think he's going to skate 253 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,240 well. I would like to have a lot of 254 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,080 faith in Jacob. I feel like he's burned me 255 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,960 before so. Is this like who's World Team 256 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,760 without Jason Brown in a whole quad? 257 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Jason Brown, been a while. Yeah. 258 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,000 He's been at the he's been at the last three worlds. 259 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,760 Yeah. Oh, 2022 he didn't go. 260 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,080 Yeah. Right. 261 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,560 But he's, he's, he was at 232425. 262 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,440 So he was, yeah. You know that Jason has never in 263 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,960 his career finished lower than 9th at Worlds. 264 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,800 That's that's what I keep saying, like as much as as much 265 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,000 as we've people talk about how he hasn't battled at worlds, 266 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:10,760 yeah, he's been very reliably in the top five to top 8. 267 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,640 He's like, he's like an index fund. 268 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,480 He is just. You can count on him. 269 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,960 Very, Yep, Yep. Yeah. 270 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,400 You're not going to go big, but you're you're going to, you're 271 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880 going to be very steadily earning your money, that is for 272 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840 sure. Yeah. 273 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,800 The men, wow, I don't know what's going to happen. 274 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,360 Gogolev. Gogolev's going to happen. 275 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,360 Gogo, Medal Gogo. Medal. 276 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,840 And that'll be the first Canadian men's medal since Do 277 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800 you have to be Patrick? Am I making that up? 278 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,280 Yeah, who else would? Who else would have been besides 279 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,240 Patrick? Well, I know Keegan didn't. 280 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,480 He didn't win 1 Patrick, the last World medal for a Canadian 281 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,640 man. 15. No earlier. 14. 1313 Patrick won 282 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,319 his last fourteen of three titles. 283 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:11,599 Wow. All right, so we're down to ice 284 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,200 stand. OK, Speaking of the last time 285 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,000 worlds were in Prague, this was the first. 286 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,480 Was that was that? Go, go, go Julen. 287 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,240 They won their first and only world title, the forever just on 288 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,480 the bubble team that could never breakthrough. 289 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,360 They could never be claim of on Pan Mariko. 290 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,160 And then the Duchenne started, you know, passing them and it 291 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,040 was like they just could not get there. 292 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,200 And finally in 93, they have this incredible Blues for clue 293 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,600 program and they won their first and only world title and Russia 294 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,840 swept the world podium. They won all three medals in 295 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,120 dance. It was Usava Julin, Grisha 296 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:54,520 Platov, Krylova Fedorov. But I, you know what? 297 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,160 This dance event, I think something similar is going to 298 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,720 happen in terms of a long, long Time Team that has always been 299 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040 on the bubble finally getting their flowers. 300 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,360 And I'm, I think Piper are going to win this world. 301 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,320 I totally agree. It's going to happen. 302 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,360 Look, I could be just making up in my head, but there's 303 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:19,240 something about the momentum that they got at the Olympics 304 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,800 and the fact that as and shock Evan baits are not here where 305 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,480 the judges brains have now been freed up in some ways to think 306 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840 about a different team out there. 307 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:43,320 And yeah, I, I, I totally would agree with you about the 308 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,240 potential for Piper and Ball to win this thing. 309 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:54,560 And you know, the, the continued potential, frankly, of 48, 310 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,400 Beaudry and Cicero making a major error because that we've 311 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:05,880 seen that this season. We saw that at, we saw that in 312 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:12,960 practices at the Olympics. They push so hard and I, I 313 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,080 wonder about like, because I, I talked about in our Olympic 314 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560 recap about how they push so hard in practice and then hold 315 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,240 back a lot in competition. And I wonder when they are 316 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,440 pushing harder in competition, if that's when the mistakes 317 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,800 happen. I don't know. 318 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,080 I, I don't know. I just, I just, I have a feeling 319 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,440 that it's going to be Piper and Paul. 320 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,960 I just the momentum is there. And A and a post Olympic world 321 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,000 for for ice dance has not been without its surprises either. 322 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,600 Remember the day when Anna Kaplina and Luca Lenote won 323 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,200 World? In. 2014. 324 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,800 By a whisker. All the medals were within like 325 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,320 a few like 33 hundreds or 3/10 of a point or something. 326 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,000 They were so close. Yeah. 327 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,360 Yeah, the there have been a couple Olympic champions who 328 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,680 have defended their world title or who won worlds right after. 329 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,800 Virgin Warrior did it in 2010, Papadakis and Cesarone did it in 330 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,920 2022. But it's not a guarantee by any 331 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,280 means. No, I, the thing that I think of 332 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:27,760 with with Piper and Paul for me is that they, their Olympics 333 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:35,840 free dance was so utterly transformative for them that 334 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,880 they might come in with a very different kind of just like 335 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,280 mindset of what this competition is for them. 336 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,760 And they were even saying this on the interview when I was 337 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,320 talking to them was that they felt a difference in the way 338 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,720 that they did that program at the Olympics. 339 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:02,120 Then they had done it before. And you wonder if if that kind 340 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,120 of magic is going to happen again. 341 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,280 I go back to this is obviously pairs, but I go back to 342 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,360 Sapchenko and Maso in 2018 after the Olympics where we were like 343 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,800 they can possibly do that program any better than they did 344 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240 at the Olympics and if they did it better at worlds. 345 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,720 Yeah, OK, I have chills. So Chenko Maso. 346 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,360 Yeah, my free skate was so good. It was so good. 347 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,440 Psychological breakthrough and they can skate with that kind of 348 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,600 freedom. Right. 349 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960 And you know, like their programs really came together at 350 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560 the Olympics. RuPaul came together at the 351 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,720 Olympics. Finally, Vincent came together 352 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,920 at the Olympics. So again, you wonder. 353 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000 So you'd think those two for gold. 354 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:59,200 You'd think Theor and Gibson versus Zynga's kalesnik for 355 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,600 bronze, which are words that I did not think I would say at the 356 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,280 beginning of the season. It's interesting because Fear 357 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,400 Gibson for so long had so much momentum, momentum, momentum, 358 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,040 momentum, and in their last two competitions I feel like it 359 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,040 really screeched to a halt. And Zynga's, on the other hand, 360 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,800 is just like shooting for the stars. 361 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaking of momentum. Yeah, so I'm, I'm interested to 362 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,800 see how Fear Gibson compete here. 363 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,480 I know that they were a team that it was, they really had 364 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480 this very strong mental game and their attack was really what 365 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,200 powered them forward. And I think once the doubt 366 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,720 started creeping in there, especially with Lila's twizzle 367 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,560 issues, if I think that really kind of unseeded them the last 368 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,600 two competitions, especially at the Olympics. 369 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,080 So I I'm interested to see how they skate here. 370 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,880 And I feel like we know how Zynga, Zynga Leznik are going to 371 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,240 skate. They're going to be skating out 372 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,160 of their skin. They're going to be raising the 373 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,360 roof. It's going to be, you know, all 374 00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:00,680 energy all the time. Yeah, I think, I think the two 375 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:07,440 of them and I think Zingis, Kolesnik, Reed and Brulevichus 376 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:14,560 and Smart and Deke, all three of those teams I think have the 377 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,680 potential to be the spoiler for the bronze would think of 378 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,680 Kolesnik being the higher potential of those 3. 379 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,320 But still like I, I, you know, like you look at you look at 380 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,280 them versus Allison Saul at the Grand Prix Final, right. 381 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,520 At Grand Prix Finals, Allison, Saul were were were scored 382 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,280 higher. I just wanna put Scott Deek a 383 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,840 little parade of a Bristow in that conversation, too. 384 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,680 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would agree with that. 385 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:55,200 You know, it's like then you is, is there even a dark, dark, dark 386 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,760 horse of a green Parsons coming in after not being at the 387 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,360 Olympics and maybe bringing something a little bit different 388 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,200 than what everybody's been seeing, right? 389 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,480 Because they, we haven't seen them since 4 continents. 390 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,480 They're the ones who are replacing chalk and Bates here 391 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800 And, and they, you know, they're, they're fresh. 392 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,080 They, they haven't had to come down from the Olympics. 393 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,800 They've they've, you know, in the interview that I had with 394 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,920 them were saying how grateful of what they were to their season, 395 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,440 getting another shot, getting a, you know, having another chance 396 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,560 at at extending their season. So. 397 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,080 I'm interested to see how tour Columbus Louis look because they 398 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,720 really weren't, you know, they said that they were feeling 100% 399 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,360 better, but I didn't feel like they looked at the Olympics like 400 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:47,520 they were as comfortable as they were in the past, you know, with 401 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,120 his injury and everything. And I'm wondering if a few more 402 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:53,920 weeks of training if they look more like their old selves, 403 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,960 because I feel like in this field they should be contenders. 404 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:01,040 They I mean, they have fantastic material, especially that 405 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,080 freelance. It's just like, it's so good. 406 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,600 It's just that tango, like that's just, you know, so 407 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,040 addictive and easy to reward and easy to like and very 408 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,720 accessible. And, you know, their season 409 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,000 scores are not great just because of his injury, but I 410 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,480 think they could move up, Yeah. Yeah, they they did. 411 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:27,160 They lost some of their power and and they're just sort of 412 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,440 assertiveness, especially in that free dance. 413 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,280 Yeah, I remember last season when we were seeing when we were 414 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,320 watching that free dance, it was like it just, it just sent 415 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,440 chills down your spine because they were just like so well done 416 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,800 most of the time. Especially that straight line 417 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,200 left at the end. So good. 418 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,920 Yeah, yeah. It'll be interesting. 419 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:53,360 I mean, Carrera Panamarenko also here, you know, Hannah Lim and 420 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:57,080 Yaquan, do they get a little bit of a redemption they have? 421 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,280 To I hope they make the free dance and get to do their free 422 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,600 dance here. I have like one thing to say 423 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,880 about Christina Carrera and Anthony Panmarenko, just not 424 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,480 related to this competition. But you know, talking back to 425 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,240 the pointing back to the March gladness that we talked about at 426 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,160 the beginning of the episode to everyone who didn't vote for 427 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,120 them. I you're on my list. 428 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,000 I'm really judging you. I think Christina's dress that 429 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,640 she debuted at the Olympics is like the probably the best 430 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,520 costume of the season that anyone's had. 431 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,240 That dress is stunning. And so, you know, so effective 432 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,160 with the theme of their program. And, you know, I took it kind of 433 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,280 personally that that she didn't get votes and that they lost 434 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,680 their category that that, you know, that was upsetting to me. 435 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,360 I'm very excited to see it again. 436 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800 Michelle is very upset. She was telling me how upset she 437 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,560 was about it. Yeah, yeah, she was up again. 438 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,200 They were up against the Amber Glenn like a prayer costume 439 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,360 though. I, you know what? 440 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,120 I voted for Amber in the ISU costume award. 441 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,600 I didn't feel bad not voting for her here. 442 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840 This was this was Christina's. This was Christina's award. 443 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,640 She should have won. So just saying. 444 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:13,360 I, I, I have very much enjoyed the, the great deal of thoughts 445 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,960 and opinions that everybody's been having on March gladness, 446 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:21,520 which they were unable to maybe have with the ISU costume awards 447 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,360 because they, you know, it was it, it, it, it felt, it felt, it 448 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,760 feels so terminal, right? Like it's like you have one 449 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,960 chance to just vote for your one costume and now you have like 450 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,360 whatever it is, 15 chances to vote for your costume. 451 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:41,760 So anyway, back to dance. The, the, the podium will be 452 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,440 very interesting. I do think like at with every 453 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,560 other one of these competitions, the potential for there being 454 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,360 some kind of surprise on the podium is high. 455 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:57,440 The question is what is the surprise and will there be more 456 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,080 than one? So it could be what the ice 457 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,160 dancer is, right? You don't have chalk and Bates 458 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,760 and that's basically or you don't have chalk and Bates and 459 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,680 you don't have king yard fabric, but that's basically it. 460 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,880 Everybody else is here for the most part. 461 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,720 And so it'll be interesting to see because the, the Olympics 462 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:29,000 was very close across a lot of these teams. 463 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,560 And, you know, it was an exclamation point for Spartan 464 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,960 Deke's choreograph character step. 465 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,320 Or it was, it was a level here and there for these people. 466 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:49,000 Or it was a, you know, a, a miss on a, a, a, a bracket turn that 467 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,640 left somebody with two levels fewer. 468 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,200 Or, you know, it was like. Something the choreo step calls 469 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,320 at this event. Just please, we've given out 470 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,400 enough. We met, we met the quota. 471 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,040 Just don't do what this this event. 472 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,360 Leave them alone. It's like parking tickets. 473 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:09,240 Yes, when you're legally parked. Yeah, somebody decided that you 474 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:19,120 were, you know, 4 feet, 8 inches from the fire hydrant or 475 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,160 whatever it is. I don't even know what the rules 476 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,360 are for parking near fire hydrants because I don't have a 477 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,040 car. But you know, it was like one of 478 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,520 those things where it's you're like, it's just so close and you 479 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,280 that the nickel and diming is quite upsetting. 480 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,760 Should we do our top three for each of these? 481 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,640 Disciplines. Oh boy. 482 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Yeah. OK, let's start with the dance. 483 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:49,080 OK, Gilles Poirier first. Forney Baudreu Cesarone second. 484 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,680 Zingis Kolesnik, 3rd. I have the exact same top three. 485 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,480 Go OK. OK, I'll, I'll, I'll do the I'll 486 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,960 do women on my part. OK, we'll switch off. 487 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,920 Kari Sakamoto, Amber Glenn, Monet, Chiba. 488 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:17,160 Monet Ami Nakai first. Kari Sakamoto, second. 489 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,400 Amber Glenn, third. Wow. 490 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,240 I adore Monet, but. This was, this was the, this was 491 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,320 the, this was the switcheroo from the Olympics where I was 492 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,680 like, Monet's not going to be in the top five. 493 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:38,400 All right, Paris. Pavlovos, Viachenko, Hassa, 494 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Volodin, Michochina, Berlava. I've never heard the Hungarian 495 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,480 anthem. I'm ready. 496 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,080 Oh gosh, this one is I, I have the same top three. 497 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,440 I I would put Hassevalden first. OK, so and then Pavlovos, 498 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,280 Fiachenko and then Batalkina Perulva. 499 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,680 OK. Yeah, makes sense. 500 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,160 OK, men. Oh, this is so hard. 501 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,080 I. Don't even know. 502 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,160 I don't even know here. It's like it's, it's too. 503 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,240 I'm just going to go for it. Yuma, Ilia. 504 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:25,080 Adam. Wow, OK. 505 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120 That that's not even like I don't, I don't even know what 506 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:36,640 that came from, but you know. I'm going to do Eli no Ilya 507 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:44,080 Gogalev Yuma. Wow, there's already men in 508 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,040 going on in our predictions. And I I shouldn't pick Ilia to 509 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,760 win because he burned me before, but I feel like it's inevitable 510 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,880 that he will win. So I just don't. 511 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,120 I just don't know. I really just don't know. 512 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,040 Well, there we go, I think. I think of all of the podium 513 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,920 pics I've done all all season, this one is by far my most 514 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,480 unhinged. It's going to be something 515 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,160 insane in the men. It's probably going to be like 516 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,960 Kalmira in second. Something like things are like, 517 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,800 I think both of us are reacting to the fact that a post Olympic 518 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,080 world is not typical. It's just not typical. 519 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,960 Something's going to happen and we don't know what is going to 520 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,600 happen and our minds are just like going off. 521 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,560 It was the year. Was it 2010 when Daisuke and Mao 522 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,400 won worlds after they both failed to win the Olympics? 523 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,920 I feel like that was the year. Maybe it's 24. 524 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,040 Yep, Mao won and 20. She won in 2010 and 2014. 525 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160 Yeah, it was Dice K in 2010. And Yuzu, well, Yuzu was the 526 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,120 Olympic champion in 2014, but yeah, I was thinking in 2010. 527 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,360 So they both missed gold in the Olympics and landed on the 528 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,720 podium, and then they both won worlds. 529 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,880 So maybe it will be Yuma and Calorie. 530 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:14,680 Wow, wow. That's it for our last preview 531 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,400 episode of this very long season. 532 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,040 Crazy. And hey folks, thank you for 533 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,960 joining us during this whole thing. 534 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,280 We will be back with both recap shows. 535 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,080 Michelle may be joining me for some recap shows during the 536 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,840 week, and we will be back for the full recap of the World 537 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,360 Championships next week.
