It turns out that after years of tossing a crumpled up piece of paper into the trash and shouting “Kobe!” we might have to start saying “Stephen!” after all.

We all have that friend who, instead of slowing down their training in the winter, actually ramps things up. You know the one: they wake up on

If you’ve been watching figure skating at all over the last few years, you’ve probably seen a program from Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue.
