2013 World Championships: Ladies Review
So, um, this didn’t turn out to be the knock-down drag-out fight I thought it was going to be. In the end, only two people brought their "A" game for both segments of the competition.

2013 World Championships: Ladies Preview
It’s finally here! The main event…the big showdown: the 2013 World Championships. Next to Olympic gold, there is no higher
honor in figure skating than a world title. I have to say this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been excited for
the ladies competition at worlds.

2013 Junior World Championships: Ladies Review
I can’t say it’s a surprise but I’m still a little shocked that my prediction (had I made one officially) ended up being correct. There was a Russian sweep of the podium at junior worlds in the ladies event. We saw some great skating, some bad skating and some questionable results but hey, this is figure skating after all…
Perfect end to a nearly perfect season! |

2013 Junior World Championships: Ladies Preview
The ladies SP at junior worlds gets underway today in Milan, Italy. I have sworn off of making predictions for competitions this year (because I suck at it) but I think a preview is a safe way to make some “predictions” without really making them.
Let’s take a look on a team by team basis…
Team Russia
Elena Radionova, Julia Lipnitskaya, Anna Pogorilaya
L to R: Lipnitskaya, Radionova, Pogorilaya |
