S02 E18: Four Continents Championships 2022

Four Continents already?! This year, it was more like Definitely Less Than Four Continents, as we had many withdrawals, but still an event with many podium finishes we loved. In the Pairs event, everyone stayed home, but we had a triumphant comeback from Evelyn Walsh and Trennt Michaud with their bronze medal and wonderfully skated SP, and a gold medal for our dark horse team in US pairs, Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov. In the Men’s event, it was a mixed bag (as always), but Jun-hwan Cha was our clear winner with a fantastic SP and a solid FS. Unfortunately for the American men, they did not have the competition they wanted, but we were also very glad to see two pod faves Kazuki Tomono and Kao Miura on the podium in silver and bronze, respectively. In Ice Dance, we were so grateful to see Team KanaDai again, and also that INCREDIBLE FD from Caroline Green and Michael Parsons. And finally in the Women’s event, there were mixed emotions, as we cried about Korea only having two women’s Olympic spots, and the fact that Mai Mihara can’t even go? Criminal.
