Walley & Flip: A Figure Skating Podcast21 Huhti 2025

Walley and Flip Awards and 2025 World Team Trophy Nuggets

Clear the ice and cue the dramatic lighting — the First Annual Walley and Flip Awards are here, and no, the ISU definitely did not approve this message.

This week, your favorite sister duo is handing out the hardware in categories you won’t find on any official ballot. From the 🥇 Greatest Underdog Story to the 😬 Skater Treated Most Unfairly Award, get ready for awards you didn't know the skating world needed.

While we don’t do a deep dive into World Team Trophy, expect some choice highlights and plenty of WTT side commentary. Think of this episode as the skating version of a group chat rant—if that group chat had microphones and a name.

Come and celebrate the 2024-2025 season, because if the ISU won't give out the awards that matter (AKA Skater Most Likely to Abort a Jump)....we will!

(also- trust me, you don't want to know the number of awards we edited out of this episode....)
