Inside Skating

That's it folks. Birds are flying from the #medianest - see you all tomorrow 😃

This. This has been chef's kiss from Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin at #WorldFigure, stars falling on them at the end of that stunning short program in Prague.

And that's how you skate a Bolero short program at #WorldFigure, like Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava just did in Prague. Their trademark opening signaled the crowd: this was going to be great.

There was some fighting going on, quite literally, in Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov's short program at #WorldFigure. #clockanddagger works so well for them.

If you're being picky for this and that, remember this season was incredibly long and, because of that incredibly tiring.  That being said, Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko's skating is so beautiful to watch.

Higher than the jumbotron is not a figure of speech. It's us, in the #medianest - and we're starting to get used to the nest 😃.

And they're owning this season, they do.

Lia Perreira and Trennt Michaud wear this program like a second skin ❤️. #WorldFigure

You know what else looks great from the #medianest? Twists, lifts, throws, everything pairskating - #flying is in order at #WorldFigure

Yuna Nagaoka and Sumitada Moriguchi at #WorldFigure, just wow. Golden future? Checked. Do we love their skating already? Checked. Call us impressed.

We think it's fair to say that Chinese pairs skating is on very good hands with Jiaxuan Zhang and Yihang Huang. And they picked champion-music and they do it justice. #Nemesis

#JuliaSauter's triple Lutz rebelled itself today - but know it is still Julia's best element, and has a story that is worth telling. That is worth knowing. Find it all in our most recent interview with @roulia186. insideskating.net/2026/03/25/int…

This. We saw it from the #medianest and it felt like @AmberGlenn_ was ready to conquer the world. At #WorldFigure in Prague.

And you know who else was celebrated today? #AmberGlenn - and her humanity-beyond-skating. #skatingsisterhood

This wave of love, support, appreciation surrounded #KaoriSakamoto like a mantle during her last competitive short program - people brought banners, flags, handkerchiefs for one of skating's greats. It felt like a celebration of skating.

We love a happy #MoneChiba, we do. She's in second after women's SP at #WorldFigure.

Laser-sharp focus from #AmberGlenn - she sits in third place after women's SP at #WorldFigure.

And if this feels like a scene in a movie, it most definitely is one - and #KaoriSakamoto is a great storyteller, that we can say. Sitting in first after women's SP here in Prague.

We say there's so much to be learned from them - we loved being in the room for what felt such a wise talk, from wise women, not just skaters.  Our shiniest medal of all goes to all three of them. #WorldFigure

Olympic experiences for all, lessons learned, Amber being such a supportive teammate, friend for both Kaori and Mone in Milan - she called it #decency, not signing up for reality shows, they're humans after all.

We may have experienced one of the most meaningfull press conferences, here, at the #WorldFigure in Prague.  With Kaori, Mone and Amber in the room, top 3 women after the short, everything felt serious and equally precious.
