Karly: Today we have a guest host!
Aly: Hi I'm Aly Wein, and I'm the founder and editor of Edges of Glory. I'm so honored to be cohosting In The Loop this week with my girl Karly.
Karly: Yay welcome Aly!
Aly: Thank you! It's so surreal.
Karly: Seriously, I've been looking forward to this recording for weeks because we've had Aly on standby for an episode. You were at Canadian Nationals so it's perfect for you to host this episode.
Evie: Honestly, I would like to see a Flight of the Valkyries but Flight of the Zambonis, just a bunch of them cresting over a hill - [cue the music]
Becs: That's the epic we need to produce!
Evie: Coming this summer “The Flight of the Zambonis.” [music swells] One Zamboni driver against the World!
Becs: Sounds about right.
This year’s Canadian Nationals were held in Mississauga, Ontario and luckily for me, it was only a province away so I thought why not go and support the skaters that represent my country. Unfortunately, I had to miss out on the junior competitions that happened earlier in the week (cries in junior ice dance 😭) but I was happy that I could at least watch the entirety of the senior events
Tilda: Speaking of quirky, I want to give a shout out to [Elizaveta] Pasechnik and [Egor] Kolosovskii for their "Jungle Book" Rhythm Dance. That was a lot of fun! I have to admit, I went "Jungle Book!?!" when Ted announced it.
Kat: Yeah, it was really fun and they skated it really well too! And honestly, I am here for teams that go a little bit out of the box with the musical theme style.
French Fed™ strikes again.
As some of you may know, IDF is held in Grenoble, a city in the Southeast of France by the foot of the French Alps. Also known as a city with very little direct transport, which for someone as chaotically uncapable of simple day-to-day tasks without either making myself, or everyone who has ever came into contact with me, panic for my safety causes a lot of dramatic mishaps.
