Robert also covered the sport of figure skating with insight and verve, turning his personal obsession into authoritative analysis through three Olympics and a world championship. Post readers can look forward to his dispatches from the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano-Cortina, Italy.
A true Post original, Robert is a generous colleague, inspiring mentor and evangelist for the institution’s mission and values. He says he was drawn back to The Post, in part, because “I miss working with my friends every day.” His creativity and intellectual rigor have contributed to our past successes and will help propel our future triumphs. For those who recall his epic newsroom sendoff last year, and with apologies to one of his heroes, Lin-Manuel Miranda, we are delighted that Robert has indeed not forgotten from whence he came – and concluded there’s a million things he hasn’t done here. Just you wait.
