Over the holidays, both Japan and Russia hosted their own national championships, and the 2021 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships are just days away. Mirai and Tara revisit the highlights from Japan and Russia, before looking forward to Las Vegas.
Confidence is key on the biggest stage, and with so much uncertainty surrounding the competitive scene this season, each athlete will have to find new sources of confidence and support to help them be at their best on the ice. Mirai talks to 2019 U.S. Pairs Champions Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc about their confidence in training, as well as the unique support they have with them at the boards every day.
