This week, Host Mirai Nagasu and Producer Tara Wellman revisit some highlights from Cup of China, and then talk "packaging" - not boxes and tape, but sparkles and makeup!
The aesthetic element of figure skating sets it apart, but how important is it to the athletes? ...or to the judges?
But, not all that glitters is golden. U.S. Champion and Olympic Team Member Rachael Flatt joins Mirai later in the show to talk about the mental and physical challenges facing athletes in a world full of comparison, criticism, and naturally, competitiveness.
