missizzyWent with my sister to see Legacy on Ice today. She's someone who sometimes watches skating, and she and mom both came with me to Milan and joined me for 2018 Worlds whenever they weren't going to someone else, but she doesn't really follow it the way I do. This was her introduction to Ilia Malinin. She absolutely loved him. I have instructed her to watch his free program from this season.
Legacy on Ice did well as a memorial show, especially since the emotions from those on the ice about them was very real, and you could tell that. Maybe especially powerful was Jimmy Ma skating the program Jinna Han was apparently planning to make her junior debut, and of course Maxim Naumov skating to a song so beloved by his parents. My sister was crying by the end of that, and I had tears in my eyes myself. Some of the decisions made in what it would include, however, were a bit detrimental. Most notably Scott Hamilton coming in and prayer ambushing us. Like full on Christian, as if it never occurred to him that there are people in that audience who did not ask to have someone else's religion forced on them like that.
We also got to see Johnny Weir, which I am very happy about, since I always wanted to see him live, and of course I thought the chances to were all gone. He's one of those skaters that definitely has a presence live.
I'm actually now a little sorry we're not going to Worlds in Boston this year; when individual event tickets went on sail right after the election, I thought it more prudent not to spend the money. My sister suggested we could look at the next Worlds held in Canada, even saying she's always wanted to see Vancouver.
