Podcast appearances and mentions of Nathan Chen

It all Started on the ‘BookSarina, here! This episode began in a Facebook thread. In a writers' group, author Dena Moes R.N. expressed some concern about trying to bring a book to market during a very noisy news cycle. I pushed back a little, given the nature of her book: It's Your Body: The Young Woman's Guide to Empowered Sexual Health. This lovely book is no stranger to politics. In 2024 it's political to even suggest that a young woman has the right to decide the fate of her own body.What could be more timely?Dena and I brought our friendly debate to your door, where we cover:* What does the election cycle really mean for books and book buyers?* What are some elements of Dena's story that play well with readers who are staring down the barrel at a very important election? * Who should Dena talk to about this book, and why?You can see some of the content Dena is working on at Instagram and TiktokYou can find the book at Amazon and Bookshop. Books we're reading this week: Dena is reading I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself by Glynnis MacNicol and The Inner Practice of Medicine by Dr. Wendy Lau. Sarina is reading: Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center and One Jump at a Time by Nathan Chen. Are you a “sticker”?Regular listeners know that whenever we meet our writing goals around here, we text each other one word: STICKER. (and then we add a cute sticker to our calendar, because we're fun like that).We call supporters of the #AmWriting podcast “stickers” too—and while our regular podcasts and shownotes go out to all of our listeners, we have created a few things just for stickers. First, there's the Summer Blueprint for a Book Sprint—10 weeks dedicated to working with coaches and a community to figure out how to turn your next idea—or your struggling draft—into the book you want to write. You can join it anytime (the how-to is below).Stickers can also submit the first page of their WIP to the Booklab First Pages podcast, where we might choose it to discuss, review and offer ideas for persuading agents, editors and readers that they want to turn that page and see what happens next. (Find the link to submit a first page HERE.)I'm a sticker! Give it all to me now.SubscribeTo join the Blueprint for a Book Summer Sprint, you must be a paid subscriber.

As we get ready for the final competitions of the '23-'24 season, we answer listener questions about all things figure skating — predictions, favorite skaters and FS moments, and what 20 programs we'd save in our end-of-the-world bunker.   Welcome to our first Scoreography Q&A Episode! We asked listeners to let us know what in figure skating they wanted us to talk about. And we received a far more enthusiastic response than we ever could have imagined! As you will hear, you asked some amazing Q's about our favorite skates and skaters of all time — which, honestly, led us to a mild existential crisis! You asked what programs we would take with us into a dystopian bunker — which REALLY gave us a much greater existential crisis! You were so creative and thoughtful in your questions, we hope we did some of them justice. You also allowed us to dig into some of reasons we love the sport. From Wendy's childhood crush on Kurt Browning to Adron's epiphany at the 2006 U.S. National Championships in St. Louis, MO — all of it was fun to reminisce about. We did make sure to also dig into some of the judging changes we'd like to see, and even offered a few hot takes (Adron had far more than he expected.) We hope you enjoy us getting nostalgic about Paul Wylie program, gushing over countless skaters we adore, and let us know who your favorites are, too! What would you “take to the bunker?” We'd love to hear!    Follow Scoreography: Website — https://scoreography.show Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/scoreography Threads — https://www.threads.net/@scoreography BlueSky — https://bsky.app/profile/scoreography.show  

We talk about our experience seeing Stars on Ice in Chicago, featuring the farewell tour of legend Kurt Browning. We also look back at the awesome World Team Trophy event, and share our highlights from the 22-23 season. After such a unique and exciting post-Olympic season, we were beyond hyped to see some skating in real life! This Stars on Ice cast was especially exciting. From Olympic Champion Nathan Chen, to 4-time Japanese National Champion Satoko Miyahara, to a very special goodbye performance from Wendy's all time favorite skater, Kurt Browning, it was a show we could not miss! Along with our Stars on Ice recap, we reflect on the super fun World Team Trophy event, and discuss why that unusual competition is a perfect jumping on point for new skating fans.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 6, 2022 is: gauche • GOHSH • adjective Gauche means “having or showing a lack of awareness about the proper way to behave.” When describing a person or a behavior, gauche can mean “socially awkward” or “tactless”; when describing an object (such as a product with a vulgar image or slogan on it) it can mean “crudely made or done.” // Some people view giving cash in lieu of a wrapped present to be terribly gauche, but I like knowing that my friends and family will be able to pick out something they truly want. See the entry > Examples: “When he completed his performance, [Olympic figure skater Nathan Chen] punched the air in celebration. Normally I find this display of open emotion a little bit gauche, but for Nathan, I'll allow it. He was exquisite.” — Chris Schleicher, Slate, 8 Feb. 2022 Did you know? Although it doesn't mean anything sinister, gauche is one of several words (including sinister) with ties to old suspicions and negative associations relating to the left side and use of the left hand. In French, gauche literally means “left,” and it has the extended meanings “awkward” and “clumsy.” These meanings may have come about because left-handed people could appear awkward trying to manage in a mostly right-handed world, or perhaps because right-handed people appear awkward when trying to use their left hand. Regardless, awkwardness is a likely culprit. Fittingly, awkward itself comes from the Middle English awke, meaning “turned the wrong way” or “left-handed.” On the other hand, adroit and dexterity have their roots in words meaning “right” or “on the right side.”

Saha Kenarı'nın bu haftaki konuğu spor spikeri Nihan Cabbaroğlu oldu. Kendisiyle sohbete artistik patinajın dans mı spor mu olduğu, spikerliğin teknik yanlarını ve sporcu atletiğinin yanında estetik olmanın performansa etkilerini konuşarak başladık. Sohbete buz pateni denince kulağımızda çalmaya başlayan Boléro eşliğinde gerçekleşen ikonik performansları, bu alandaki müzik seçimlerini ve ekollerle devam ettik. Kamila Valieva'nın doping konusu değinmeden de geçmedik. Artistik patinaj 1990'larda daha çok mu izleniyordu? Yuzuru Hanyu mu Nathan Chen mi? Bu sporu geliştiren atletizm mi estetik mi?

英语新闻丨羽生结弦宣布退役Japan's "Ice Prince" Yuzuru Hanyu, who announced his retirement from competitive figure skating on Tuesday, is one of the sport's all-time greats and an icon to his worldwide legion of fans.7月19日，日本“冰雪王子”羽生结弦宣布退出花样滑冰竞技赛场，他是这项运动史上最伟大的运动员之一，也是全球粉丝的偶像。"I'll no longer be compared with other skaters as a competitor," Hanyu said at a news conference in Tokyo, revealing he will concentrate on skating in exhibition shows in the future.羽生结弦在东京的新闻发布会上表示，“我将不再参加竞技比赛”，并透露未来将转战职业花样滑冰领域，成为一名花滑表演者。"I have no sadness. I want to continue to do my best," he added.“做出这样的决定我不难过，今后将继续努力下去，”他补充道。The 27-year-old said that he saw the next stage of his skating career as a beginning, not an end.这位27岁的年轻人说，他将滑冰生涯的下一个阶段视为一个开始，而不是结束。"As a pro skater I want to keep on fighting and go to an even higher stage," said Hanyu, wearing a dark suit and silver tie, occasionally pausing to sigh deeply.“作为一名职业滑手，我会争取一直滑下去，站上更高舞台，”身穿深色西装、打着银色领带的羽生结弦说，他偶尔停下来深深叹气。With his elegant skating style and delicate boyish looks, Hanyu is an icon for his global legion of adoring supporters.羽生结弦凭借其优雅的滑冰风格和俊秀的脸庞，成为全球粉丝的偶像。After winning his first men's individual Olympic gold medal aged 19 at the 2014 Sochi Games, Hanyu became the first man in 66 years to retain the crown when he again stood atop the podium at Pyeongchang 2018.2014年索契冬奥会，年仅19岁的羽生结弦夺得个人第一枚冬奥会男子单人滑冠军。在2018年的平昌冬奥会上，他再次获得男子单人滑冠军，同时也成为66年来首位蝉联冬奥会男单冠军的花滑选手。He also claimed the world title twice but his impact on figure skating goes far beyond just medals. Hanyu inspires devotion like few other athletes in world sports.作为两届冬奥会冠军，他对花样滑冰的影响远不止奖牌，也是少有的具有奉献精神的世界级体育运动员。His supporters, known as "Fanyus", follow his every move, spend fortunes watching him compete and even carve sculptures of the rake-thin star, who is known as "Yuzu" to his devotees.羽生结弦的粉丝们称自己为“Fanyus”，他们会追随着羽生结弦去世界各地花费巨资观看他的比赛，甚至建立他的雕像，粉丝们还亲昵地称呼他为“柚子”。They also shower the ice with cuddly toys after his routines, in a chaotic tribute to the tissue box cover he carries to the rink with him.在羽生结弦每一次比赛结束之后，粉丝们会向冰场内投掷大量玩偶，这些玩偶与他随身携带到冰场的纸巾盒一致，表示粉丝对他的支持。"The way he looks and his technique and the effort he puts in－nobody else will have that total package," 46-year-old fan Yumi Matsuo told AFP earlier this year.今年46岁的粉丝松井裕美在接受法新社采访时表示：“从他的长相、技术和投入的努力来看，没有其他人能做到这一点。”"I'm really happy that I'm alive at this time so that I can support him."“很高兴我生活在这个时期，这样我就可以支持他。”Hanyu has been at the top of men's figure skating for almost a decade.近十年来，羽生结弦一直是男子花样滑冰的佼佼者。He began skating as a child in his native Sendai, in Japan's northeast. When the massive earthquake and tsunami hit the region in 2011, he was practicing on the ice and was forced to flee the rink on his skates.他从小就在位于日本东北部的故乡仙台练习滑冰，在2011年日本大地震和海啸发生时，正在滑冰场练习的他穿着冰刀鞋就逃了出来。He and his family subsequently spent time in an evacuation center because of damage to their home, sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers on a gymnasium floor.由于房屋受损，他和家人随后在避难所度过了一段时间，这期间只能在体育馆地板上与陌生人并肩睡觉。Hanyu makes a point of honoring the victims of the disaster and he dedicated his first Olympic title as "a gift for my country".后来，羽生结弦特别向当时故乡灾难中的遇难者致敬，并将自己的第一个奥运冠军作为“献给国家的礼物”。"I'm the only gold medalist but I don't think I'm just spiritually by myself, I'm here because of all the people in Japan who supported me," he said after his Sochi triumph.“我是唯一的金牌得主，但并不代表我只是精神上的一个人，我能来到这里是因为所有支持我的日本人民，”他在索契夺冠后说道。Hanyu went on to win world titles in 2014 and 2017, breaking records with jaw-dropping scores, as he and American rival Nathan Chen battled it out for skating supremacy.羽生结弦分别在2014年和2017年夺得世界冠军，以令人瞠目结舌的成绩打破世界纪录，后来他和来自美国的对手陈巍争夺滑冰霸主地位。Hanyu had to overcome an ankle injury to win his second Olympic gold at Pyeongchang in South Korea, admitting afterward that he was at barely a quarter of full fitness.在韩国平昌冬奥会上，羽生结弦不得不克服脚踝受伤的问题，才赢得他的第二枚奥运金牌，后来他承认当时自己的身体状况还不到完全康复的四分之一。His second title earned him skating immortality and cemented his hero status in Japan, where he became the youngest recipient of his country's prestigious People's Honor Award the same year.羽生结弦的第二个冠军头衔为他赢得了滑冰界不朽的荣誉，并巩固了他在日本的英雄地位。同年，他成为日本国民荣誉奖最年轻的获得者。Injuries dogged him later in his career and hampered his bid this year to join 1920s star Gillis Grafstrom of Sweden as the only other man to win three Olympic singles titles.伤病困扰着他职业生涯的后期，并阻碍了他成为继20世纪20年代瑞典花滑选手吉利斯·格拉夫斯特伦之后的首位奥运三连冠获得者。He fell in his short program at this year's Beijing Winter Olympics and placed fourth overall, revealing afterward that he had painkilling injections before taking to the ice.他在今年北京冬奥会自由滑男单比赛中获得总成绩第四名，无缘冬奥会颁奖台，随后在接受采访时透露在上冰前还打了止痛针。He said he "did everything" but felt that "everything has gone wrong this time around".他说他“做了一切”，但觉得“这一次一切都出了问题”。"At Beijing, I didn't make it to the top, but I think that it was a place where I could prove that I could keep on fighting," he said.他说：“在北京，我没有登上顶峰，但我认为这是一个证明我能够继续滑冰的地方。”Eventual Beijing 2022 winner Chen paid tribute to Hanyu as "the greatest skater ever".2022年北京冬奥会的最终冠军得主陈巍将羽生结弦看作“有史以来最伟大的滑手”并表示敬意。"Watching him when I was a kid, I never even dreamed that I would be able to have the opportunity to even skate with him," said the American.这位来自美国的选手说：“当我还是个孩子的时候，就在看他比赛，我甚至从来没有想过能有机会和他一起滑冰。”Hanyu refused to rule out another tilt at the Olympic title immediately afterward and said that he was determined to land the quadruple axel, a legendary jump that no skater has ever managed to pull off in competition.羽生结弦并不排除在夺得奥运冠军之后再次比赛的可能性，并表示他还会继续挑战4A动作，这是一个迄今为止没有任何滑冰运动员在比赛中能够成功完成的动作。Tuesday's announcement ends a competitive career unlike any other in skating history, leaving his fans in shock and disbelief at the news.7月19日的声明代表羽生结弦结束了在滑冰历史上与众不同的竞技生涯，他的粉丝们对这个消息感到震惊以及难以置信。Hanyu still remains something of an enigma despite the huge attention, rarely granting interviews and having no social media presence. But it is all part of the appeal for his devoted supporters.尽管受到了极大的关注，可羽生结弦仍然是一个谜，他很少接受采访，也没有社交媒体，但这都是他深受粉丝喜爱的一部分原因。For Hanyu himself, his achievements are etched into skating history.对羽生结弦而言，他的成就已载入滑冰历史。"I'm an Olympic champion－I won two titles in a row and I'm proud of that," he told reporters in Beijing in February.今年二月份，他在北京召开记者会时表示：“我到底还是奥运冠军，是蝉联了两届奥运冠军的人，会以此为荣。”"As someone who has won two consecutive titles, I want to make sure I'm proud of myself, and that's how I intend to live my life from here on."“从今以后，我也会作为蝉联两届奥运冠军的人，要让明日的我看到今日的我感到骄傲，以此度过未来的人生。”retain英[rɪˈteɪn]；美[rɪˈteɪn]vt. 保持; 留在心中，记住; 雇用; 付定金保留tribute英[ˈtrɪbjuːt]；美[ˈtrɪbjuːt]n. 致敬; 悼念; 贡品; 体现evacuation英[ɪˌvækju'eɪʃ(ə)n]；美[ɪˌvækju'eɪʃ(ə)n]n. 疏散; 撤离; 排泄supremacy英[su:ˈpreməsi]；美[sʊˈprɛməsi]n. 至高无上; 最高权力; 最高地位; 霸权prestigious英[preˈstɪdʒəs]；美[preˈstɪdʒəs]adj. 受尊敬的，有声望的; 魔术的，欺骗的enigma英[ɪˈnɪɡmə]；美[ɪˈnɪɡmə]n. 谜，不可解的事物

Eileen Gu, the top-rated story from the 2022 Olympics, is back in the headlines once again (1:00). She just announced she will be an ambassador for Salt Lake City's Olympic bid. Is she trying to have her cake and eat it too (2:15)? Mark says she's overcompensating for her switch from the U.S. to China, but what will the Chinese reaction be (4:15)? Could she even switch back to compete for the US in 2026 (4:55)? With athletes like skater Nathan Chen — a Salt Lake City native — or skier Mikael Shiffrin, what will Eileen Gu do for the bid that others can't? (7:44) How much do Americans care at this point? Old news or still a story (9:57)? It's clear she needs to come on the China Sports Insider Podcast (11:24)! Here's what Mark would ask her if he just had one question (12:10).At his customary pre-NBA finals press conference, Commissioner Adam Silver talked a lot about China (14:10). Silver was, again, trying to occupy something of a middle ground — and, so far, he seems to be doing OK (15:36). Silver says the NBA gets unfairly singled out. Mark tends to agree: if we give up on sports exchanges, then we might as well give up on diplomacy entirely (17:18).Our guest this week, Chris Fenton, sits at the intersection of sports, celebrity and China's global dealings (19:50). Hollywood seems to be turning the corner with regards to China — but where are we with sports (21:06)? Discussion of the WTA taking a stance on the Peng Shuai affair and being rewarded by sponsorship dollars as a result (26:06). But it's hard to see what a resolution between China and the WTA looks like. When it comes to money, will people always be swayed (28:38)? The WTA, and more recently, the Top Gun movie, shows that you can be profitable while bypassing the China market. Will the men's tour, the ATP, become the first frog to jump into the boiling water (31:52)? We end with a discussion about ESPN's recent articles about China and NBA owners — and what this means for the future (35:35).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Chen is a world-traveler, Meta-Human, and rock-climber who loves to have fun and get his friends to go Karaoking with him -- one of the reasons Jim is so fun and his After Hours are jam-packed with connection is because he practices saying 'yes' to all kinds of new experiences.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at his monthly news conference Thursday that he would veto a school vouchers bill currently working its way through the Legislature. Sports editor Aaron Falk caught with Team Tribune, who is still in China, on what it has been like to cover the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics this year. And the Utah Division of Wildlife Services has tested around 300 mule deer for COVID-19 — and yes, they also got a nasal swab.

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.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:55) - Men's SP(25:37) - Ice Dance RD(46:40) - Pairs SP(1:00:25) - Women's SP(1:18:18) - recap of the standings after the SP(1:20:29) - 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

HAPPY OLYMPICS EVERYONE! We're celebrating the best of the best athletes by talking about Sydney's favorite winter sport, and Sydney's favorite movie... and Sydney's favorite trope, Okay, well it's Sydney's episode so what do you expect? The Winter Olympics means one thing and one thing only; that Sydney clears her schedule to make sure that she can watch every single second of those figure skating gods and goddesses. That's right, we're looking at you Nathan Chen, Yuzuru Hanyu, Yuna Kim, and Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. But, we're not talking about these real life GOAT's. No, no. Today is all about Dmitry Sudayev and Anastasia Romonova (or should I say Anya Morozova). Today is all about figure skating, a little lost ice princess, her dashing conman of a ice skating partner, and all the fake dating/mutual pining goodness you can get.

On this week's 51%, we're talking women in sports. Professor Amy Bass of Manhattanville College shares her thoughts on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. We speak with two-time Olympian Tricia Mangan as she heads to the slopes, and Ithaca College Professor Ellen Staurowsky discusses the upcoming 50th anniversary of Title IX. Guests: Dr. Amy Bass, Manhattanville College; Tricia Mangan, U.S. Alpine Ski Team; Ellen Staurowsky, Ithaca College 51% is a national production of WAMC Northeast Public Radio. It’s produced by Jesse King, our executive producer is Dr. Alan Chartock, and our theme is “Lolita” by the Albany-based artist Girl Blue. Follow Along You're listening to 51%, a WAMC production dedicated to women's issues and experiences. Thanks for tuning in, I'm Jesse King. We've got a great lineup of interviews for you today. It's all about women in sports, and where else would we start besides the Olympics? We wrapped today’s show just before competition launched for the Winter Games in Beijing. It's the second Games to be impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, after the Tokyo Olympics last summer — but it comes with its own challenges to navigate. Our first guest today is Dr. Amy Bass, a professor and author at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York. She's been a commentator for WAMC, but she won an Emmy for her work with NBC Olympic Sports on the London Olympics in 2012. Bass recently shared with me her thoughts about the latest edition of the Games. “I think that apprehension is affecting teams right now. I think that one of the things that we learned in Tokyo is that these athletes are incredibly isolated because of COVID protocols. They’re not traveling with their families, they don’t have their cheering crowds there, which fans are an important stakeholder in sports,” says Bass. “So, I think some of the psychological tension that we saw around a star athlete like Simone Biles is something that I think we should be on the lookout for in Beijing, especially because we have some of those really intense pressure sports like figure skating where, if your head’s not in the right place, your sport suddenly becomes very dangerous. Amy Bass Who should we be looking out for at these games? I think Nathan Chen is our is our headliner, always. He didn’t do what he wanted to do in 2018 Pyeongchang, but I would also put the one and only Chloe Kim on that list. She took gold in Pyeongchang, took a break, I think she had a broken ankle. She tried college, and now she’s back and she looks pretty unbeatable. I hate saying that in a sport as sort of crazy as halfpipe, but Chloe Kim i

He didn't do what he wanted to do in 2018 Pyeongchang, but I would also put the one and only Chloe Kim on that list. She took gold in Pyeongchang, took a break, I think she had a broken ankle. She tried college, and now she's back and she looks pretty unbeatable. I hate saying that in a sport as sort of crazy as halfpipe, but Chloe Kim is definitely someone to watch. Makaela Shiffrin is someone to watch. Obviously, she got two medals in Pyeongchang, she took a third overall World Cup title a year later. She's also had a lot of ups and downs: she lost her dad, she's been really forthcoming about managing grief, and managing grief in terms of its physical and mental impact on being a world-class skier. But she's awesome. You know, she's 26 years old. Now she's back for another Olympics, and I think that she's something amazing to watch. And the other thing that I would put up there is women's hockey. And we can talk about hockey. You know, it's just a great Olympic sport. Obviously, one of America's greatest sports moments is men's hockey in 1980, but the rivalry between the Canadian and American women, I think, is one of the great sports rivalries. I feel like they're the Yankees and Red Sox of the Olympic Games, and I'm all in for women's hockey. Last time they met who won? The US took gold and Canada got silver. Well, aside from COVID, what are some new things coming to the games this year? We're seeing new percentages this year, this will be the most women ever to compete in Winter Olympic Games. Up to 45 percent of the athletes are going to be female. Winter Games tend to have fewer women than their summer counterparts, but that is changing. The hockey tournament is actually one of the reasons, there are more men's teams who compete than women, so you've got, you know, 230 women's hockey players and some 300 men. We're going to see some new sports launched, we're going to see some newer sports. So things like team figure skating is actually something that I find fascinating to think about, men and women competing together for a team score for their nation. You know, those new twists on sports that we're familiar with. And I think that we also have the United States in a position to think about sports that they didn't used to be good at or that they didn't have a legacy. You know, in Pyeongchang we saw Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall win Team USA its first ever gold medal in cross country skiing. I think the Nordic events are super exciting, and more people should watch them. Jessie Diggins is back, let's see what she does. Kikkan has retired, but Diggins could become the first American to win more than one Olympic medal in cross country skiing, and that's a cool thing to keep our eye on. I think that we have an intense political atmosphere surrounding Beijing, we have a pretty widespread Western diplomatic boycott of these games. We have issues like Hong Kong and the Uyghurs and human rights in general front and center. We have China coming off of, you know, sort of a spectacular games in 2008, so what kind of presentation of the country, and of the city of Beijing, is going to come forward? And then we have [even more] new sports. And I think that new sports are always something that can be a game changer, because you may not know what the next big thing is going to be. There will be notable absences – the U.S. women who were the revolutionaries who got women's ski jump on the Olympic program, they didn't qualify. So now we get to see, you know, what is what is Germany going to do with the absence of the Americans? So I think that you have to wait and see, and you have to go with stories that pop up that you weren't expecting. There's going to be some stories that we know, again, Nathan Chen, men's figure skating, the return of someone like Shaun White – not as a favorite, but as someone who's just sort of trying to say goodbye to the sport that they helped build. You know, there will be new stars that we haven't even met yet. That was Dr. Amy Bass, professor of sports media and chair of the division of social science and communication at Manhattanville College. Our next guest actually spoke with me from Germany while awaiting her flight to Beijing. Tricia Mangan just competed at the Alpine Ski World Cup and is participating in her second straight Winter Games. In 2018, she took ninth in the alpine team event at Pyeongchang, and this time around she's slated to compete in at least the women's alpine combined. She's just 24 years old, but she started skiing near her home in Buffalo, New York at the age of 2. “I grew up skiing there with my five siblings and parents when I was pretty young, and started racing around 6. We skied at this little hill called HoliMont in Ellicottville New York. I just did a million sports when I was younger, but ultimately liked skiing the most, and have definitely skied on a lot bigger hills than HoliMont now,” says Mangan. “But I think that being from Buffalo is definitely a big part of my story, and it's kind of shaped my road to the World Cup a lot. And now heading into my second Olympics, I leaned on my community a lot for support this year. So it feels really nice to be able to achieve this goal and to share that with all of them as well.” When did you know that you wanted to pursue skiing professionally as an athlete? People always asked me this question, and I don't know. Never when I was younger was I like, “I'm going to be an Olympian,” or like, “I want to be in the U.S. Ski Team.” I didn't even know what the U.S. Ski Team was, I really was just focused on trying to beat my twin brother and just get a little bit faster. There was never like, these big, huge goals. I think I've always been a little bit hard on myself. So maybe I was like, “I'm not good enough for that.” But I've always worked really hard, so I think that I just put in little steps. And then over the years, it's like, “I did this. That's cool.” And then it's like, “Oh, I made it this far!” And then yeah, here I am today. This year I'm actually focused on the speed events, which are downhill and Super G. And then at the Olympics, there's also the combined, which is one run of downhill, and one run of slalom, What is Super G, for those who don't know? So for the speed events, downhill is like the straightest – not that many turns, you're in your tuck a lot of the time. And then Super G is also the speed event, but there's a couple more turns. So it's not just like going straight down. It's a little bit more technical. What's the processes of preparing for that? That must be some insane work. Yeah. Preparing for the World Cup or the Olympics in particular? I guess both! Well, that's good insight, because most people are like, “Oh, my gosh, it's crazy to prepare for the Olympics.” But in reality, the World Cup, like our season regular, is probably actually a little bit harder, because there's more girls there then there'll be at the Olympics. So there's been a lot of work that's gotten into this year. There's a lot of training, a lot of physical conditioning, a lot of time on snow, lots of travel. I've definitely this year tried to focus more on my consistency, because my top level speed is good, but in order to perform on the World Cup, you need to be fast all the time, for the whole run. So yeah, consistency has been a big thing for me. What's it like returning to the Olympics this year? Is it a little less nerve racking, maybe? Yeah, it will definitely be very different. My aunt told me the other day, she was like, “People who get to the Olympics twice, or like the Super Bowl or something big like that, they always say that the first time is a blur, and they don't remember anything. And then the second time, they're able to enjoy more.” And I think that will probably be the case, because the first time it was so much like, “Oh my gosh,” like there's so much pressure, and it's really stressful. Or it was for me, last time. And then this time, I definitely know to kind of appreciate being there and take in everything and enjoy the moment a little bit more. And I think that you can still do that while working really hard, which maybe I didn't know last time. Are there ways in which you see your sport changing? Oh, that's a great question. I hope that it changes, change is always good. I think that there are changes with events, like there are more parallel events where people compete next to each other. And I think that is to attract more viewership and to make it a little bit more exciting, which is great, because the more popular the sport will be, the better for athletes, because more sponsorships and deals and everything. Yeah, I think that everyone's always pushing the limits of sports, so it's definitely progressing. You mentioned that Buffalo shaped a big part of your story. Can you go into that a little bit more for me? Coming from Buffalo, even when I was really young, I always knew that there were the states like Vermont and Colorado, California, where the racers trained so much more. I think that this definitely added to me not really thinking like I was ever going to be – or not really thinking that I was very good, and I just kept the focus on working hard. I definitely had an underdog mindset when I started to compete more nationally, and I think this really fueled me, because it kind of took away expectations. Because I was like, “Oh, I'm from New York, nobody thinks I'm gonna do well,” but like, I know how hard I've worked. So I definitely think that was a really big part of my success when I was younger. That underdog mindset has been a big part in my ski racing career so far. Was there a first competition that you did, where you realized, “Oh, I'm really good?” Yeah, yeah. So I went to U16 nationals. I had won, like, a couple Super Gs for the eastern region – but even then, I was like, “Oh it's just this one run, who knows?” And then I went to U16 nationals, and I got absolutely crushed. And then I remember thinking like, “I want to come back the next year, and like, actually do well.” And I really ramped up the training that year. And then I went back the next year and did really well. I remember, I got fourth into GS. And after coming down the first round, I was kind of in shock. And then the next day, I kept doing well and ended up second, and then that's when I qualified for like the junior national team. So that was definitely a very big turning point. I was like, “Wow, I didn't know I was going to do that well.” So yeah, I think that was a big turning point in my career. Lastly, for people who maybe want to get into skiing, or for younger people who are looking about how they can get into the sport, what is your advice for them? I think that there are so many race programs, so I would just say don't be discouraged if you're starting even with a small ski resort race program. It's so much fun. And most of all, the community that skiing has is super, super special, and really unique. So I think that is a great reason to join it. And hopefully they love it. It's an awesome sport, so I would encourage anyone to try it out. Of course, it's not just the Olympics driving headlines this time of year: Ash Barty just became the first Australian woman to win the Australian Open since 1978, the Super Bowl is set, and college basketball championships are just around the corner. In case you missed it, February 2 was the Women's Sports Foundation's 36th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day. To celebrate, hundreds of community programs, schools, and professional sports teams across the country are hosting events to get people active and recognize the achievements of women in sports. This year, the Foundation itself is hosting a virtual 5K throughout the month of February, as well as a 50-mile challenge stretching to the 50th anniversary of Title IX on June 23. Title IX, of course, is the federal civil rights law that — from the court, to the campus, to the classroom — prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school that receives funding from the federal government. So how is Title IX holding up, 50 years on? To learn more, I spoke with Ithaca College professor and author Ellen Staurowsky, who has co-written a number of reports on Title IX, gender equity, and more for organizations like the Women's Sports Foundation and the National College Players Association. How does Title IX look, 50 years later? In terms of women, 50 years is a terrific time. You come into your own, you gain more power, you look ahead to see how you can take the wisdom of the previous 50 years and really mobilize it to do good in the future. And I think, in a lot of ways, that this anniversary gives us an opportunity to think about that. At the same time, just looking at the state of gender equity in school sports and in college and university athletics, there are all kinds of signs that show that we are not fulfilling the gender equity mandate, and that there's still a great deal of work to be done. I was going to ask about that. Like how do you feel that Title IX is being enforced? What are some of the ways that you feel there's a gap in equity in college sports? I think we're seeing it across the board and every in every area of athletics. Whether we're looking at proportional opportunities available to female athletes relative to their enrollment – we're seeing very large gaps in terms of how many opportunities female athletes could have. We're seeing tremendous gaps that still remain. If we look over the span of 50 years, and we go back to the 25th anniversary, or we go back to 40th anniversary, the spending on recruiting has largely remained unchanged over that entire span of time. In terms of athletic scholarships, there's an expectation that schools are going to offer athletic scholarship support that is proportional to the number of female athletes in an athletic program within 1 percent. There are many schools, in their EADA reports – the EADA report being that public document that people can go to see how spending occurs in athletic departments – and what we're seeing in those documents is that there are many schools that are really quite off the mark from that 1 percent. We do see that some schools are closer in terms of their gender equity patterns. If we look at non-football playing schools versus football-playing schools, junior colleges compared to NCAA institutions, for example, there are some sectors where we're seeing something that looks closer to what it should look like. But there's tremendous work that needs to be done. How do we go about implementing some changes to make sure that these things are better monitored and enforced? I think one of the number one things is to make sure that the enforcement mechanism that's supposed to be in place in colleges and universities and in high schools, to make sure that mechanism is working. It was very interesting to me to find reports from the federal government that were showing that there were still schools, maybe just four years ago, that still were not designating Title IX coordinators at their schools. You know, this was a requirement that was expected in the 1970s. And to think that we still have some schools that have not even designated a Title IX coordinator – and then along with that, we have large percentages of employees who still don't know who their Title IX coordinator is – that really is a sign that the commitment to enforcing Title IX on the ground, in schools, is just not happening the way that it should. And even in places where Title IX coordinators are designated, there remains a large amount of either misinformation or lack of information about what Title IX requires, and what it doesn't require. A wonderful former student of mine who's in law school at Drexel, we did a study of Division I Title IX athletics coordinators – and just large portions of that sector, they're not educating people about how to read an EADA, coaches and athletes are not receiving Title IX education. All of those things are things that add up, because you can't hold an institution accountable to what they should be doing under Title IX, if you just have people closest to the action, closest to the athletic department, that don't know what their rights are and what their obligations are. Broadening the subject a little bit, how do you view the overall playing field for women in sports right now? The expression, “It's the best of times and the worst of times” probably applies. Because there's absolutely no question, if you think about the opportunities that were available for girls and women in the early 1970s – we've just seen tremendous growth in all areas of athletics for girls and women. At the same time, we have so many places [that need improvement], and I think if we reflect back, just for a moment, in terms of the NCAA men's and women's tournament last year, and those very stark contrasts in terms of unfair treatment – and this is the nation's premier women's basketball tournament. For that kind of inequity to exist, and then also to have the NCAA external reports reveal that that the women's basketball tournament was not the only tournament, but in fact, there was systemic gender inequities across the entire system – that's really a wake up call for everybody. And then along with that, though, not all people, and not all women, are served equally within the gains that are made. So if we look, for example, through a racial lens, African American women have been largely invisible within the overall scheme of full opportunities in sports. Like basketball and track and field, we've seen that kind of growth, but we have not seen that kind of growth across the board in terms of the large array of other sports that are available. And this is very much in keeping nationally with the fact that women of color, and African American women, have less access to sport opportunities overall. So that's an area that we really, futuristically, need to be addressing. We know that girls typically enter sports later and exit sooner than boys. What do you see as some of the obstacles for girls getting into sports? And how can we address them, particularly for girls of color? We need to be looking at our financial models, and really adopting principles of equity and fairness. You know, it's one thing to sort of have an idea of fairness. I think it's something entirely different when you begin to make decisions and hold yourself accountable, to really see whether or not you're actually doing that on the ledger. And that's really where having principles of gender equity that are written down, and having specific goals about what you want to achieve in a three- and five-year period of time [helps]. I think there is a bit of a disconnection between general support – you know, Title IX has become sort of synonymous with gender equity, it also pulls on our general sense of fairness. So you know, the vast majority of people that you talk to would say that they are relatively supportive of what Title IX's goals are. But what I found, and where I think the conversation needs to happen, is that female athletes in athletic departments – I think their experience is actually different than that broad narrative. I think they notice that they don't get the same kinds of meals. They notice that their gear isn't as good, or the way in which fundraising happens for their programs is different, and that it oftentimes puts more of a burden on them than some of their male colleagues. And certainly, I think one of the areas where we're going to see much more increased scrutiny is in the area of marketing, in the area of television contracts, in the area of promotion, and athletic communications. That whole area of publicity is something that has been in the regulations from the 1970s forward, but I don't think that it's really gotten the kind of scrutiny that I would suspect that we're going to be seeing in the years ahead. And the reason why that becomes so important is that, you know, just as a matter of media exposure – if you don't see female teams regularly, you don't know who to follow. And we've seen all kinds of evidence, from women's gymnastics to women's basketball, to women's volleyball to women's softball, and many, many other sports where, when audiences get exposed to those sports, there are audiences for them. But the mechanism to market those programs within colleges and universities has largely continued to be operating on a 20th Century model, rather than on a 21st Century model. In terms of girls and women of color, you know, within communities, creating safe spaces for girls and women to access sports opportunities is incredibly important. Being able to preserve sport programs within high schools is very important. Trying to have them publicly funded rather than pay-for-play models is incredibly important. There are other kinds of things we could talk about, but those are some of the things that really need to be addressed. Lastly, what are some of the benefits for women of playing sports? We can never underestimate the power of joy. I think all of us who have sport as a passion, we can all relate to the fact that, at some level, we all got bitten by sport joy. So that would be number one. Number two, what we know from the research is a woman's life is incredibly affected over the long term by her participation in sport. We know in terms of long-term health, we know in terms of cognitive functioning, we know in terms of social life, that being able to participate in sport can be incredibly important as a quality of life issue. So all of those things are things that we should take into account. You know, the nation has a stake in this, from the standpoint of the health of our girls and women.

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 Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

Hello and welcome to the final episode of The Ice Skating Podcast this year!We are wrapping up the rollercoaster ride that has been 2021, and discussing all the main talking points of this season. There is some top-flight Speed Skating action to review, including the ISU World Cups in Salt Lake City and Calgary, and we've got interviews with Joey Mantia, Femke Kok, Kjeld Nuis, Francesca Lollobrigida and Nils Van de Poel, among others.From Anna Sherbakova to Nathan Chen, Guillume Cizeron and Gabriella Papadakis to Laura Barquero and Marco Zandron, there's been so much to discuss in Figure Skating, while in Short Track it's been an amazing year for Suzanne Schulting, Kristen Santos, the Liu brothers, Pascal Dion and many others. We run the rule across them all.The Ice Skating Podcast is the official pod of the International Skating Union, and is hosted by Nick Moore and Luke Norman.  The pod will be taking a break over the holidays, and will return in early January. 

It is the second senior Grand Prix event of the season and we are already exhausted, and the men's continued chaos does not help one bit. Fortunately in this Skate Canada Men and Ice Dance episode, there were some relieving and joyful moments as well.In the Ice Dance event, we pleaded with Zach Lagha to sell his Rio beak masks, continued to be both 3000 and 8 and 2000 and late with another Boom Boom Pow program, and gave bold predictions about Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier on the Olympic podium.In the Men's event, we were worried about Keegan Messing (although very much appreciated the photos of Lane and Wyatt in the K&C), and surprised by the sudden appearance of Avril Lavigne in the Matrix. We also breathed a collective sigh of relief for Nathan Chen (but not for Raf).Timestamps(00:00) - Intro(01:15) - ICE DANCE(01:55) - Haley Sales & Nikolas Wamsteeker(04:55) - Elizaveta Shanaeva & Devid Naryzhnyy(08:55) - Christina Carreira & Anthony Ponomarenko(10:52) - Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson(15:08) - Marjorie Lajoie & Zachary Lagha(19:29) - Diana Davis & Gleb Smolkin(26:23) - Caroline Green & Michael Parsons(29:05) - Olivia Smart & Adrian Diaz(31:00) - Charlene Guignard & Marco Fabbri(32:46) - Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier(36:38) - MEN(37:20) - Roman Sadovsky(39:20) - Tomoki Hiwatashi(41:51) - TANAKA Keiji(44:35) - Conrad Orzel(47:16) - Alexander Samarin(51:03) - YAMAMOTO Sota(53:29) - Morisi Kvitelashvili(56:22) - Keegan Messing(1:01:10) - Makar Ignatov(1:04:32) - Evgeni Semenenko(1:06:46) - Jason Brown(1:09:29) - Nathan Chen(1:14:49) - Situation with Rafael Artyunyan(1:16:22) - 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

Would it really be a men's event if chaos did not abound? We will never know the answer to that as at Skate America, we again did not see peace. We talked about how everyone should lay off Nathan Chen and how we love happy and confident Vincent Zhou and the benefits of skating to a program with your name as the title. We also questioned who Joce's clubbing buddy is now that Uno Shoma is skating to Vivaldi and Bolero, and cried for and with Kevin Aymoz while joining the audience for a standing ovation.In the dance event, we pondered the placement of Yehor Yehorov's worm-ing on the ice, dated ourselves by revealing how old we were when Boom Boom Pow topped the charts, and learned the true meaning of Too Darn Hot with Evan Bates' highly insulated free dance costume.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:07) - ICE DANCE(02:38) - Molly Cesanek & Yehor Yehorov(05:06) - Carolane Soucisse & Shane Firus(06:04) - Natalia Kaliszek & Maksym Spodyriev(06:37) - KOMATSUBARA Misato & Tim Koleto(09:28) - Annabelle Morozov & Andrei Bagin(13:11) - Olivia Smart & Adrian Diaz(16:00) - Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Sørensen(17:55) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(23:19) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(26:06) - MEN(26:23) - Kevin Aymoz(28:52) - Artur Danielian(30:27) - Adam Siao Him Fa(33:27) - Nam Nguyen(36:15) - Daniel Grassl(39:19) - Michal Brezina(40:50) - Jimmy Ma(44:09) - SATO Shun(46:44) - Nathan Chen(54:28) - UNO Shoma(58:03) - Vincent Zhou(1:02:46) - 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
