"Toast to Milan" event featuring US Olympic Team will stream on Peacock May 30

From this USFS press release:

>The 90-minute show, taped for NBC's Peacock network and slated to air May 30, featured emcee and 2018 Olympian Adam Rippon. The charismatic host fired up the crowd while introducing skaters from each of the four disciplines; he asked them questions that ranged from their competitive mindset at the Games, to what foods they enjoyed most in Milan, to their favorite off-ice experiences.

>Two-time Olympian Jason Brown engaged with the audience and helped relay questions from the crowd.

>"It was special to reflect on everything Team USA accomplished and celebrate the hard work and moments that made the Games so meaningful," said Emilea Zingas, who with Vadym Kolesnik, finished fifth in ice dance at their first Olympics. "We feel incredibly honored to have been recognized in such a special way and are so thankful to have been part of such an amazing night."

>"The Toast to Milan was such an incredible evening, and we are so grateful to be reunited with our teammates, team leaders, doctors and officials who shared in this unforgettable journey," Kolesnik added.

Toast to Milan was held in conjunction with the USFS 2026 Impact Summit in Colorado Springs, Colorado. More information on the Impact Summit can be found in the press release.

Kao Miura will train at Ilia Malinin's base and get SP choreo from Kana Muramoto

Kao was apparently considering a short training camp in a new environment while at SOI Japan. He decided to go to Ilia's base for about three weeks to a little less than a month, possibly starting in late July. He has a lot of respect for Ilia's skating and would like to experience an environment close to him and absorb as much as he can from him. This post summarizes additional info related to training with Ilia.

As for the SP, it is said that Kao will tackle music from Daisuke Takahashi's singles era with choreo from Kana Muramoto. According to this summary, the music may be related to Daisuke's Mambo from the 2010/11 season.

For the SP, he went a record 10 straight competitions hitting at least 100 from 2023 US Nationals to 2024 Lombardia. After just barely missing the mark at 2024 Skate America, where he scored 99.69 with a time violation, he then went another eight competitions in a row scoring 100+. That’s 19 programs with only four negative GOE elements, no falls or pops on jumps, and all spins and step sequences at level 3 and above.

For the FS, Ilia went a record five straight competitions hitting at least 200 from 2025 Grand Prix de France to the 2026 Olympic Team Event. During this period, he posted 215.78 with a clean(ish) five-quad program at 2025 Grand Prix de France, a WR 228.97 with a clean six-quad program at 2025 Skate Canada, and another WR 238.24 making history with a clean seven-quad program at 2025 Grand Prix Final. Ilia is so far the only skater to go a whole GP series including the Final with 200+ in the FS, which he has done in both 2023 and 2025.

For total score, Ilia went five straight competitions hitting at least 300 from 2025 Lombardia to 2026 US Nationals, matching Shoma Uno’s longest streak from back in the +3 GOE era. As with the FS, Ilia is so far the only skater to achieve such a benchmark score for a whole GP series including the Final, which he has done in both 2023 and 2025.

Finally, Ilia matches Nathan Chen for longest streak hitting all 100/200/300 benchmarks in the same competition. He achieved three in a row in the 2023 GP series.

I realized I had not included the FS and total score streaks in my master list of Ilia’s accomplishments, so I added them!

Note: With upcoming BV increases for spins and step sequences, it should become easier to achieve 100+ SP scores. However, with the jump reduction in the FS, it may become harder to achieve 200+ FS scores.
