Alysa Liu, reigning World Champion Figure Skater, joins Megan Lynch in studio to share her remarkable story.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 15! When it comes to Supreme Court decisions that impacted the classroom, most people know about Brown v Board of Education. A lesser known landmark decision was also very impactful in schools across the U.S. We're talking about Lau v Nichols… a case that influenced the interpretation of Title VI and how U.S. schools needed to support second language learners to succeed in school. In this episode, we talk about the lead up to Lau v Nichols, what the impact of the Supreme Court decision was, and the lasting legacy of the decision. We also take time to address the rhetoric around the ending of the Department of Education and how it would impact not just Bilingual Education but how students are supported in the U.S. We begin the episode with a LOT of current events including growing anti-miscegenation-like decisions, Janet Yang, Alysa Liu, Caitlyn Chen, Te-hina Paopao, and Jonny Kim. We end with another installment of Weird History where we talk about the decision by Levi Strauss and Company to lean into anti-Chinese labor practices back in the late 1800s.

After stepping away from the sport two years ago, 2022 World bronze medalist Alysa Liu will return to international competition this week at Budapest Trophy. Then in a few weeks, she will compete at Skate Canada International, her first Grand Prix event since 2021. Alysa joined Daphne, Gina and Matteo to talk about what's she been up to, why she decided to return to skating and what she hopes to accomplish in her comeback. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This Week in Skating is hosted by Gina Capellazzi, Daphne Backman and Matteo Morelli is a cooperative project between Figure Skaters Online and Ice-dance.com.

We look back at the extremely impressive Junior Worlds 2024 championships, including the showdown between Mao Shimada and Jia Shin in the Women's event, an expected win from dance team Neset & Markelo, shaky success for pairs team Metelkinda & Berulava, and star making performances from Rena Uezono and Anthony Paradis.   This week, we're recapping the 2024 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. While we haven't always been avid junior competition viewers, this competition may be the catalyst that gets us more in tune with them! From a brilliant, burgeoning rivalry between Mao Shimada and Jia Shin in the Women's competition, to the rising star performances from the gold medal-winning dance team of Leah Neset & Artem Markelov, there was a lot to be excited about. Women's Competition The premier event of Junior Worlds had to be the Women's competition, thanks to a ridiculously deep field of talented women who, for the most part, all turned in fantastic skates. The gold was expected to come down to either Japan's Mao Shimada and South Korea's Jia Shin — and these two women made it a nail biter. With her poise, flow, and skill, Jia Shin won the short program over Shimada. However, in the free skate, while both skated near-flawlessly, Mao edged out Jia with her quad toe loop and overall technical excellence. With competitions like these, we cannot wait to see these two compete head-to-head for years to come. Jumping into third with an astounding free skate, Japan's 13 year-old Rena Uezono lit up the arena and made her way to a bronze medal. Rounding out the top ten were all fantastic skaters — from Finland's Iida Karhunen to Sherry Zhang from the US and Canada's Lulu Lin. We even saw solid skates from those much further down in the ranks, including Josephine Lee from the US, Kaiya Ruiter from Canada, and the Kim twins from South Korea. All in all, this competition made us optimistic for the future of Women's skating. Pairs Competition As predicted by many, the gold here went to the talented Georgian pair of Anastasia Metelkina & Luka Berulava — though this win was not as dominant as many would have expected. This team has a solid chance of medaling at Senior Worlds in a few weeks, and this free skate was not one they would have hoped to have here leading into that competition. Still, they took the title by more than 12 points and have some time to look at what went wrong before heading to Montreal. The silver and bronze both went to young American teams — Olivia Flores & Luke Wang and Naomi Williams & Lachlan Lewer, respectively. Both teams had exceptional short programs, and flawed but solid free skates. Flores & Wang, however, brought quite a bit more difficulty to their skate and looked strong overall. These are certainly teams to watch for in the future! Men's Competition This was the closest competition of the event, with gold being taken by Minkyu Seo by just over a point. This talented South Korean had a solid short program, but a slightly less compelling free skate. However, the silver medalist — Japan's Rio Nakata — was in 5th after the short, so needed made up quite a bit of ground to win the free skate and take the second spot. In with the bronze, Adam Hagara from Slovakia became the first Slovakian skater to earn a Junior Worlds medal. While there were many other strong skaters in this field, the one we felt the most excited about is Canada's Anthony Paradis. This young skater came in 15th, but scored remarkably high PCS marks and had the most identity and overall skating quality on the ice in this field. What he lacks in jumps he makes up for in commitment — and we eagerly await a time when he can bring it all together for a run at international podiums.

I recap the Women's Event at the 2022 World Championships: Kaori Sakamoto, Loena Hendrickx, Alysa Liu, Mariah Bell, Young You, Anastasia Gubanova, Wakaba Higuchi, Karen Chen, Nicole Schott, Ekaterina Kurakova, Ekaterina Ryabova, Olga Mikutina, Niina Petrykina, and overall thoughts.

It's the last day of competition at Beijing 2022 and the daily podcast from the Winter Olympics is all about figure skating. We hear from 2018 Olympic champion Alina Zagitova who is in China as a reporter. Plus, top U.S. finisher in the women's competition Alysa Liu. And also a wrap-up of all the figure skating action with our on the ground reporter Nick McCarvel.

The Figure Skating world was rocked this past week with scandal, heartbreak, and hundreds of unanswered questions. Not quite the stuff athletes dream about finding in the headlines covering their Olympic experience. And yet, but the ice dancers and the women of this Olympic Games persisted and gave us heartfelt moments that will live on for all who watched.  This week on Ice Talk, Tara chats with Jackie who brings perspective on the doping scandal from Beijing, and both find moments to celebrate along the way. 

Anna Sherbakova is the new 2022 Olympic champion! Alexandra (Sasha) Trusova landed 5 quads in her free program–the same number as Nathan Chen. Kaori Sakamoto captured the bronze medal with 2 strong skates. Plus discussions of performances by Kamila Valieva, Wakaba Higuchi, Young You, Alysa Liu, Loena Hendrickx, Mariah Bell, and Karen Chen. Watch to find out as we talk through the 2022 Beijing Olympics Ladies Event.

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.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(00:58) - News (Michelle Kwan's baby, Withdrawals)(05:50) - PAIRS(06:04) - Audrey Lu & Misha Mitrofanov(09:30) - Jessica Calalang & Brian Johnson(13:34) - Ashley Cain-Gribble & Tim LeDuc(18:55) - WOMEN(19:04) - Gracie Gold(21:37) - Starr Andrews(23:30) - Audrey Shin(26:22) - Amber Glenn(29:38) - Lindsay Thorngren(33:32) - Gabriella Izzo(35:56) - Isabeau Levito(38:17) - Alysa Liu(40:15) - Karen Chen(43:40) - Mariah Bell(48:15) - Kiss & Cry: Team Selections(50:25) - Kiss & Cry: Canadian Nationals & Korean Nationals(51:43) - 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 Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

We were out for NHK last week due to a family emergency but have a quick recap for you before we jump into the Women and Pairs events at Internationaux de France.In the Women's event, we SCREAMED and ascended to another dimension after Higuchi Wakaba's Lion King Free Skate, pleaded with Mariah Bell to bring back Britney, and put some makeup-safe chunky glitter in our Etsy carts so we can be more like Aliona Kostornaia.In the Pairs event, we continued to attend HSLOT in France with Vanessa James and Eric Radford (but still question the superstition of using Falling as your program music), and request more vigorous wing flapping from Boikova and Kozlovskii.P.S. Excuse some background noise going on - we had some audio issues, crazy weather, and construction happening right next to Claudia's place!Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:34 - Quick recap of what we missed at NHK Trophy03:28 - Daria Usachëva injury05:47 - IDF: PAIRS06:50 - Coline Keriven & Noel-Antoine Pierre09:08 - Camille Kovalëv & Pavel Kovalëv11:40 - Ioulia Chtchetinina & Mark Magyar16:31 - Rebecca Ghilardi & Filippo Ambrosini18:24 - Vanessa James & Eric Radford22:45 - Alexa Knierim & Brandon Frazier25:47 - Iuliia Artemeva & Mikhail Nazarychev29:32 - Aleksandra Boikova & Dmitri Kozlovskii34:32 - IDF: WOMEN35:17 - Starr Andrews37:11 - Lea Serna39:59 - LEE Haein42:30 - YOKOI Yuhana45:10 - PARK Yeongjeong47:56 - Ekaterina Ryabova50:24 - Mariah Bell55:02 - Karen Chen58:06 - Kseniia Sinitsyna1:00:03 - HIGUCHI Wakaba1:02:05 - Alëna Kostornaia1:08:45 - Anna Shcherbakova1:14:06 - Kiss & Cry segment (Alysa Liu coaching change, Warsaw Cup)1:18:08 - 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 Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

Welcome to our Skate Canada recap episodes! The Women and Pairs events were, well, eventful, although not quite as hair raising as Men (but we'll get to them soon).The Pairs event was basically the Vancouver stop on Harry Styles' Love on Tour (well, kinda), but with the most unfortunate song lyric choice. We also celebrated with Ashley Cain-Gribble and Tim LeDuc for their bronze medal win, and canceled SBS 3S with Sui Wenjing and Han Cong (and prayed that at least one person would say his name right).In the Ladies event, we watched yet another Bolero program, although what a beautiful one it was from Kamila Valieva. We also SCREAMED for Higuchi Wakaba's Lion King program while also cursing JSF for many reasons on her behalf.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(05:07) - PAIRS(06:00) - Zoe Jones & Chris Boyadji(08:50) - Lori-Ann Matte & Thierry Ferland(11:47) - Kirsten Moore-Towers & Michael Marinaro(19:41) - Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nolan Seegert(24:06) - Vanessa James & Eric Radford(29:39) - Ashley Cain-Gribble & Tim LeDuc(34:50) - Daria Pavliuchenko & Denis Khodykin(41:34) - SUI Wenjing & HAN Cong(46:24) - WOMEN(46:46) - Alison Schumacher(49:26) - Emily Bausback(51:37) - Karen Chen(55:20) - KAWABE Mana(58:18) - Madeline Schizas(1:01:48) - LEE Hae-in(1:04:49) - HIGUCHI Wakaba(1:10:40) - Alysa Liu(1:14:21) - MIHARA Mai(1:19:47) - Aliona Kostornaia(1:30:28) - Elizaveta Tuktamysheva(1:34:51) - Kamila Valieva(1:43:05) - 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 Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

Alysa Liu is a Chinese-American figure skater. She is a two-time U.S. national champion (2019, 2020). On the junior level, she is the 2020 World Junior bronze medalist, the 2019-20 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist, a two-time Junior Grand Prix champion, and the 2018 U.S. junior national champion. Liu is the youngest-ever U.S. ladies' national champion, having won her first title at age 13. She is the first to win two constructive titles since Ashley Wagner did so in 2012 and 2013. She is also the first lady to win the junior and senior titles back-to-back since Mirai Nagasu accomplished the feat in 2008. Alysa Liu is the first junior American ladies' singles skater to successfully complete a triple Axel in international competition, and only the third American lady overall to do so after Tonya Harding and Nagasu. She is also the first and only American female skater to successfully complete a quad jump (quadruple Lutz) in a competition. Liu is the first ladies skater to ever land both a quadruple jump and a triple Axel in the same program. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/biography/message

The American ladies competition has been tumultuous lately, and Nationals was no different. Bradie Tennell earned her well-deserved gold medal, and there was a fight for 2nd through 5th. We are ECSTATIC that Amber Glenn became the first openly pansexual woman on the American Nationals podium, and she delivered a clean and emotional free skate. Alysa Liu's return and bright spirit, and Karen Chen's spiral sequence were also muchly appreciated. And would we really be living in this season if we didn't talk about Mariah Bell's ABBA program? Not in this climate!Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(02:39) - News(04:39) - US Ladies world team selection(05:50) - Hanna Harrell(11:11) - Gracie Gold(14:54) - Starr Andrews(18:21) - Pooja Kalyan(21:08) - Rena Ikenishi(23:36) - Gabriella Izzo(26:26) - Audrey Shin(29:55) - Lindsay Thorngren(32:49) - Mariah Bell(41:33) - Alysa Liu(47:40) - Karen Chen(52:06) - Amber Glenn(59:36) - Bradie Tennell(01:03:53) - Kiss & Cry: Book Recommendation(01:05:25) - 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 Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

Breaking down the Ladies event at Nationals this past weekend: Gracie Gold, Starr Andrews, Audrey Shin, Lindsay Thorngren, Mariah Bell, Alysa Liu, Karen Chen, Amber Glenn, & Bradie Tennell. I answer fan questions about the event, including World Team selections, Olympic contenders, and future strategies for ladies skating.

In this episode, we chat about notable skaters who competed at the Nebelhorn Trophy, and dive deep into the USFS's ISP Points Challenge virtual competition. We fangirl over Nathan Chen's and Jason Brown's outings, Claudia rants about the treatment of Alysa Liu for 5 and a half minutes, and Joce finally finds U.S. Pairs exciting.

Hear from national champs Nathan Chen, Alysa Liu, Alexa and Chris Knierim as well as Madison Chock and Evan Bates. Also featured: Jackie's interview with Kimmie Meissner, which he conducted for the Memorial Fund breakfast during nationals.

We attended the second JGP event in Lake Placid and it was a big one! In part one we discuss the pairs and ladies events, including our frustration with some viewers overly criticizing junior skaters, our live in-arena thoughts on Alysa Liu's quad lutz, and our adoration for all Russian pairs skaters.

Canadian ice hockey star Daniel Carcillo has had seven diagnosed concussions, suffered with headaches, slurred speech and memory loss. He is now taking on the National Hockey League and challenging them to do more to protect players from head injuries. He tells us his story and describes the uphill challenges that he is facing every day. We hear from a young girls football team in India who have been kicked, punched and slapped by a group of men who are trying to force them to stop playing the sport they love. The girls have been hailed for their bravery and say they will continue to play football in secret. Plus we speak to 13-year old Alysa Liu who became the youngest woman to win the US Senior National Figure Skating Championships.

Hosts Nick McCarvel and Jackie Wong sit down for an in-depth chat about the 2019 GEICO U.S. Figure Skating Championships. They discuss Nathan Chen's third consecutive win, Alysa Liu's historic triple Axels, Ashley Cain and Timothy LeDuc's comeback, and so much more. Look back at the exciting week in Detroit, from a Montreal ice dance podium sweep to phenomenal skates from up-and-coming skaters.

We begin our recap of this crazy weekend of skating with the Ladies at US Nationals. We discuss how a clean triple Lutz could have changed the podium in many ways, the pressures now on Alysa Liu as the new reigning champion, and the one thing all skaters should start their daily warm-ups with. This is recap 1 of 8 for this weekend, with more on their way soon!
