With a few weeks to process all the happenings of the World Championships, Mirai and Tara reconvened to talk through the impact moments of the event, including the wild and wonderful Ladies event and Nathan Chen's mind boggling Free Skate comeback. 
Then, Mirai sat down with 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek to catch up on his life post-skating, reflect on his decorated career, and get his thoughts on Nathan Chen's momentum headed toward Beijing 2022. 

They're here! The World Championships are officially underway. Before the Team USA skaters left, Mirai caught up with a few National Champions to find out more about training through the uncertainty of the past season, and preparing for the unusual circumstances of competition week in Sweden.

The world is full of remarkable women. This week, Mirai and Tara hear from Team USA athletes about the women who inspire them to be strong, brave, and confident. 
Then, Mirai sits down with Olympic Champion Meryl Davis to discuss her history-making skating journey, as well as her continuing efforts to make the world a better place for girls and women of all ages. 

The sport of figure skating was changed for the better by the barrier-breaking efforts of people like Mabel Fairbanks. This week on Ice Talk, Mirai and Tara continue the conversation with Tai Babilonia and Starr Andrews about the impact of Fairbanks and other BIPOC athletes, as well as the continuing efforts to confront the issues of race and inequality on and off the ice. 

In February, we celebrate U.S. Figure Skating's Get Up Campaign, and who better to speak to the value and the challenge of getting up after every fall than Scott Hamilton? 
Plus, host Mirai Nagasu catches up with Yaroslav Paniot who turned heads at the U.S. Championships with an Elvis-themed free skate that landed him on the podium... and in the Olympic Team conversation. But it's been an interesting road for the 2017 Ukranian men's champion -- one that includes a particularly entertaining story that involves tennis shoes, the Las Vegas bubble, and his warm up routine. 
 

After another competition week inside the figure skating bubble in Las Vegas, four national champions were crowned and World Teams were named. Host Mirai and Producer Tara break down what happened, what didn't, and how it all stacks up in light of an unconfirmed World Championships schedule. 
 
Plus, Mirai catches up with now five-time U.S. men's champion Nathan Chen to talk about the pandemic altered season, what it means to join the likes of the sport's biggest legends in the history books, and how a five-quad free skate is even possible!
