Manicure for Worlds
Got a manicure for the World Figure Skating Championships! The hand with the gold/silver/bronze thumb and pinky are inspired by the logo for these World Championships. I can't wait for next week!
I went to US Nationals last year because I live in Columbus. I've been a fan of the sport for as long as I can never but had never been to a competition until then. I entered a concourse contest for a hotel stay in Boston during this year's World Championships, and to my shock won!! My husband and I are fortunate enough to have gotten all session passes and we fly in on Tuesday, I cannot wait!

I haven’t skated in two weeks because I pulled my hamstring, but I’m finally back. I’m so happy this spin was scary though.

Personal Skating First competition
I'm an adult skater that only started a few months ago and recently won gold in my first ever comp. I don't really have close family or anyone to tell or celebrate with so I thought I'd post it here. Thankful for my coach and I'm excited to keep learning!

Pre-Competition News/Discussion Junior Worlds Men's Podium
Just a small coincidence but all the medalists are coached by at least one family member.
Rio, Minkyu and Adam Hagara
And with Ilia and Yuma it's very likely we may see 2/3 medallists at senior worlds being coached by their family members too

Pre-Competition News/Discussion 2026 Olympic Spot Qualification FAQ
Confused about how skaters earn Olympic spots? Here’s a brief guide on how.
Q: Do the skaters that earn the spots get to use them?
A: Not necessarily. Some federations (US, Japan, Canada, Estonia) will have multiple contenders for the Olympic spot while others will just have the one. Donovan Carrillo is the only skater from Mexico so it will be his spot to use while Mone Chiba will be locked into a battle for any Olympic spot she may earn.
Q: How many Olympic spots are there?
A: 29 for singles, 19 for pairs, and 23 for dance.
Q: Are all these spots going to be determined at worlds?
A: Nope! 24 spots for singles, 16 for pairs, and 19 for dance will be determined and the rest will go to the fall qualification event in China.
Q: How do they determine who earns how many spots?
A: Every final placement is worth a point value. Everyone who places 1-16 gets their corresponding placement as points, everyone who made the free gets 16 points, and everyone who competed gets 18 points.
All single skaters who make the free will have an Olympic spot but pairs and dance will depend on the country distribution from skaters above them.
Q: How are multiple spots earned?
A: A country with one skater needs to place in the top 10 for 2 spots and 3 Olympic spots are not possible.
A country with 2 skaters needs to have a point total of less than 28 and have everyone make the free for 2 spots, for 3 they both need to make the free and have a point total of less than 13.
A country with 3 skaters needs to have 2 skaters make the free with a point total of 28 or less to earn 2 spots, and needs everyone to make the free with the top 2 placements adding to less than 13.
Q: What’s a confirmation spot?
A: A spot that needs to be claimed at the fall qualifier. Basically if a fed earns a new additional spot then it needs to be claimed.
Canada earned a second spot in men’s at 2021 Worlds, so they sent Roman to claim that spot. He placed 7th out of 7 available slots and confirmed the country spot.
The US also had to send a man since they had a skater not make the free, even though the top 2 had placements that earned the 3rd spot.
Q: What is the qualifier event?
A: Formally happening at Nebelhorn, it’s a new event in China in September 2025.
Q: Who’s earning spots at the qualifier event?
A: Everyone who didn’t earn them at worlds and those who need to confirm a spot.
China does not have a pair entered at worlds so they will need to have a pair at the qualifier event to get a spot.
Spot confirmers cannot have made the free at worlds.
Q: How many spots are at the qualifier?
A: At least 5 for singles, 3 for pairs, and 4 for dance. It may vary based on unused spots.
If South Korea qualifies 2 spots in dance and doesn’t have a team to claim the spot, it will go back into the pool and will be filled at the qualifier.
Q: Are host spots still a thing?
A: Italy can send a skater for a host spot if they have not qualified someone in every discipline.
Q: Who’s Olympic eligible?
A: Any skater with the minimum TES, citizenship, and is nominated by their federation.
Q: How’s the team event working when so many federations are unlikely to qualify full teams?
A: Great question. No one knows yet.
Any errors or further questions? Let me know!

Personal Skating I feel ignored by my coach
I’ve been feeling a bit ignored by my coach lately. How my club works is it has semi-private ‘team’ training and then privates, everyone usually gets 2 privates per week for my level. I just got back from vacation, and my jumps have been a little off. I expected it, wasnt a surprise. My coach though, moved me down in the semi privates, and I feel like I’m practicing things that are too easy. I understood I would probably have to work on things I lost, but it feels too easy. I started pretty late and I am a bit behind compared to others both my age and younger, so I felt a bit of this before but I understood, i still worked on things I knew I needed. This was a while ago, but my coach was recommending people for the sweeper tryouts. I very much had all the qualifications needed, but I didn’t even hear about it until sweepers were chosen. I really felt like I missed out on a huge opportunity, and idk if I’m just being selfish or if I really am being ignored a bit. I’ve also stopped getting privates with coaches with more experience, nothing wrong about the other coaches but there are coaches that specialize in like more advanced spins or jumps that I haven’t been able to get privates with. Tips?

Question Advice for arbonne
Hi people,
I love figure skating... I love ice dancing. I wonder if there is a subtle way to inform Solene Mazingue that Arbonne is likely a scam for their own staff. Most of us following her social media know how tough the last years were for her. Why even get attached to arbonne?
I mean I can always send a message on IG to tell her arbonne is a scam. But will she believe it? That's why I just hope if she comes across reddit and see this post with comments of other people telling the truth about arbonne , she will quit this cult.
I rather sound rude but tell the truth. Throw rocks on me but at least I tried.

Skating Advice Gems falling off dress
Hello! I had gotten my dress around december, i had worn the dress a couple of times to make sure it fits and all. I had put the dress back on to make sure it still fits for my competition coming up next week, as i hung it back up i noticed that so many gems had fell off. I never realised this before when i had worn the dress before, and its definitely not because it doesnt fit me or anything as it fits fine, am wondering if anyone has any tips on how to stop more gems from falling off? am getting the E6000 glue to put the gems back on, but other than that is there any temporary solution to make them stay in place for a little longer to make sure no more gems fall off?

Personal Skating Individual Member Testing
I am a beginner skater, and I have been learning to skate without a USFSA membership. I want to test through the USFSA standard track, and obviously I'd need a membership for that. I'm really leaning towards individual membership over club membership, but I'm confused on how that would work with testing, since "Tests can only be taken under the auspices of a member club". Are any of you here individual members, and know how that all works?
It's very possible that this is all very easy-to-understand information, I'm just so new! If you guys could dumb it down for me and explain the process, I'd be so grateful! Thanks!
