We are two cousins from opposite ends of the globe who have way too many opinions about figure skating! So we decided to record ourselves talking about anything and everything that has recently gone down in the skating world.

  1. S02 E19: Olympics 2022 - Team Event SP (Pt.1)

    02/15/2022

    S02 E19: Olympics 2022 - Team Event SP (Pt.1)

    It is officially the Beijing 2022 Olympics! It has already been incredibly eventful, but we are going to start with the Team Event short programs and rhythm dance events. This episode was full of math as we tried to add everyone’s points together, and we talked about the fight for the podium spots between ROC, USA, and Japan, as well as the fight for that 5th FS qualifying spot between China and Georgia. The Men warmed us up with notable skaters like Shoma Uno, Nathan Chen, and a special shoutout to Boyang Jin who took his first step onto home Olympic ice. Then in Ice Dance, we saw Hubbell/Donohue’s amazing Janet Jackson program, and Mom and Dad (Guignard/Fabbri)’s Michael Jackson program. In Pairs, Moore-Towers/Marinaro had a redemptive skate, Miura/Kihara made us cry with Hallelujah, and of course, Sui/Han had the skate of their lives. Finally, in the Women’s SP, it was so nice to see Eliska Brezinova here, as well as a phenomenal skate from Madeline Schizas.

  2. S02 E18: Four Continents Championships 2022

    02/07/2022

    S02 E18: Four Continents Championships 2022

    Four Continents already?! This year, it was more like Definitely Less Than Four Continents, as we had many withdrawals, but still an event with many podium finishes we loved. In the Pairs event, everyone stayed home, but we had a triumphant comeback from Evelyn Walsh and Trennt Michaud with their bronze medal and wonderfully skated SP, and a gold medal for our dark horse team in US pairs, Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov. In the Men’s event, it was a mixed bag (as always), but Jun-hwan Cha was our clear winner with a fantastic SP and a solid FS. Unfortunately for the American men, they did not have the competition they wanted, but we were also very glad to see two pod faves Kazuki Tomono and Kao Miura on the podium in silver and bronze, respectively. In Ice Dance, we were so grateful to see Team KanaDai again, and also that INCREDIBLE FD from Caroline Green and Michael Parsons. And finally in the Women’s event, there were mixed emotions, as we cried about Korea only having two women’s Olympic spots, and the fact that Mai Mihara can’t even go? Criminal.

  3. S02 E17: European Championships 2022 - Men & Ice Dance

    02/05/2022

    S02 E17: European Championships 2022 - Men & Ice Dance

    In our second 2022 Euros recap episode, there was no shortage of laughter or tears, as we nervously chuckled about Larry Loupolover’s choreography, but are so incredibly sad that Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevicius will not be going to the Olympics despite an incredibly hard struggle to obtain Allison’s Lithuanian citizenship. In the Men’s event, we continued to wish for Kevin Aymoz to rest (but it’s a little late now that we are right up against Olympics Eve), played some air guitar with Michal Brezina and his love for dad rock, and were SO happy for Jesus Christ Superstar, I mean, Mark Kondratiuk, who won the gold medal. In Ice Dance, there was a clear winner in the battle for the Spanish Olympics spot, with Smart and Diaz coming out on top, and an even clearer winner in Stepanova and Bukin’s RD in that teenage heartthrobs will get us every time.

    01/30/2022

    S02 E16: European Championships 2022 - Women & Pairs

    Welcome to our two recap episodes of 2022 Euros! Our Women and Pairs episode was full of Mambo Italiano, and celebration that Josefin Taljegård will be going to the Olympics! Really, all you need. In the Pairs event, it was the battle of the top three Russian teams, where we were confused by our overwhelming enthusiasm for Boikova and Kozlovskii’s Malagueña, and the general nature of Mishina and Galliamov’s Snowstorm program. In the Women’s event, we continued to bop our heads along with Ekaterina Ryabova to the second rendition of Mambo Italiano, and prayed that our parents would never compare us to the true grit of Anna Shcherbakova.

    S02 E15: U.S. Nationals 2022 - Women & Pairs

    It’s our second U.S. Nationals recap episode, this time with the Women and Pairs’ events, and there was no shortage of positive COVID tests. After the sad withdrawals of Alysa Liu, and the heartbreak of Amber Glenn, we were able to watch on the edge of our seats as Mariah Bell won her first nationals title, Karen Chen made her way to her second Olympics, and Isabeau Levito made a splash at her first senior nationals. The pairs’ event was a short one after many withdrawals due to injury and COVID, but we celebrated with Timothy LeDuc as they became the first non-binary American gold medalist (!!!!). We also cheered for our favorite dark horse team, Lu and Mitrofanov, and marveled at Jessica Calalang’s phenomenal dresses.

    S02 E14: U.S. Nationals 2022 - Men & Ice Dance

    US Nationals was a heck of a superspreader, er, figure skating competition! The top 7 men laid it down in the short program, and went on to lay down some chaos in the free skate. Ice Dance saw some nail biters and some boy bands as the top teams battled for the gold medal, and that coveted third Olympic spot. In the Men’s event, we saw either Guy Fieri, Hot Cheetos, or the Eye of Sauron on Nathan Chen’s new fiery costume, a triumphant Camden Pulkinen, and a sad boot incident for our disco dancing king, Yaroslav Paniot. In Ice Dance, we ah ah ah’ed our way through our recap, wondering how many sweatshirts Evan Bates really had on, bopping our heads to Eva Pate and Logan Bye’s Bye Bye Bye RD, and crying over both Hawayek and Baker, and Green and Parsons’ free dances. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - News: Reed/Ambrulevičius 03:18 - ICE DANCE 03:43 - Eva Pate & Logan Bye 07:34 - Christina Carreira & Anthony Ponomarenko 11:08 - Katarina Wolfkostin & Jeffrey Chen 13:50 - Emily Bratti & Ian Somerville 16:57 - Caroline Green & Michael Parsons 20:06 - Kaitlin Hawayek & Jean-Luc Baker 25:37 - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue 30:37 - Madison Chock & Evan Bates 34:48 - MEN 35:21 - Artur Dmitriev Jr. 41:08 - Yaroslav Paniot 45:15 - Jimmy Ma 48:42 - Camden Pulkinen 53:18 - Jason Brown 56:35 - Vincent Zhou 1:00:56 - Ilia Malinin 1:06:14 - Nathan Chen 1:18:32 - Kiss & Cry: Team Selections 1:25:59 - Outro ------------------------------------------------ Follow our figure skating podcast on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagram xx Joce & Clauds

    S02 E13: Russian Nationals 2022 - Women & Pairs

    It was a big weekend for the Russian women, with so many phenomenal contenders (and of course, the questionable officials and adults in power) but so few qualifying spots for the Olympics and the remainder of the season. It was also a big weekend for the Russian pairs, with some surprising outings, but solid standings and tight competition. In the women’s event, we cried for Liza Tuktymysheva, were Sofia Samodurova’s hype women, and marveled at Kamila Valieva’s performance. In the Pairs event, we debated over Mishina and Galliamov’s “The Snowstorm” program (and Chock and Bates’ alien program, though we probably should have saved that for American Nationals), and finally enjoyed a Malagueña program.

    S02 E12: Russian Nationals 2022 - Men & Ice Dance

    Welcome to our Russian Nationals recap episodes! This week, Men and Ice Dance brought the big drama, as we have a (wonderful!) somewhat-surprise Men’s gold medalist in Mark Kondratiuk, and a celebration that the Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber, and Shawn Mendez (and Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin) will likely be going to the Olympics together. We again wondered where J-Lo was in Mikhail Kolyada’s SP, but were very happy to see the return of Nureyev in his FS. The mystery intensified about Dmitri Aliev’s vague statements, but we wish him well as we move into the second half of the season. In the Ice Dance event, we talked about Russian athletes vs Russian officials and the absolute cluster the latter creates, and talked about teams with Good Packaging vs teams with Needs to be Improved Packaging.
