On this episode of Ice Talk, Mirai and Tara look back at a wild weekend at Rostelecom Cup featuring an impressive win by The Empress -- and fellow triple axel queen -- herself, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. 
Later in the show, off-ice expert Kat Arbour joins the show to talk about how what skaters do off the ice impacts what they can do on it... even when ice time is at a minimum, like this year. 

This week, Host Mirai Nagasu and Producer Tara Wellman revisit some highlights from Cup of China, and then talk "packaging" - not boxes and tape, but sparkles and makeup! 
The aesthetic element of figure skating sets it apart, but how important is it to the athletes? ...or to the judges? 
But, not all that glitters is golden. U.S. Champion and Olympic Team Member Rachael Flatt joins Mirai later in the show to talk about the mental and physical challenges facing athletes in a world full of comparison, criticism, and naturally, competitiveness. 

Over the weekend, Mirai Nagasu took in the competition at Skate America in Las Vegas while Tara Wellman watched from home. But, which programs stood out no matter the viewing experience? And how do programs like that come to be?
Mirai talks to former competitor and aspiring choreographer Alex Johnson to find out the process of choreographing for Grand Prix competitors.

Host Mirai Nagasu and Producer Tara Wellman welcome you back to a new season of (modified) international competition ahead of the scheduled Grand Prix season kickoff event -- Skate America in Las Vegas.
