โHow will I, personally, stop the war? I know, let me go harass a sixteen year old I donโt know on the internet, that will show โem!!โ fucking embarrassing
Tarasova: โIn Tutberidzeโs position I would say that Iโm guilty, made a mistake, gave the wrong thing, but would take responsibility off the child. This seems to be the only right decisionโ

How can anyone celebrate this 12 year old team tut skater jumping this insane layout in good faith knowing what we now know about Kamila? The cycle will never end
Kamila Valieva: โWhat happened at the Olympics strengthened me dramatically. I suddenly became an adult. But thanks to the support of my coaches I remain resilient.โ

very respectfully to the media folks who are out there doing their jobs: ask the uncomfortable questions anyway. ask, ask, ask. the non-answers will be your answer.
(this is entirely on the canadian fed and not at all about how the journalists are doing their jobs!!)
I need you all to understand that when we're continuously, consistently critical of the skaters under Tutberitze it's not because we don't like to see the sport advance, or we hate to see young athletes do incredible things but because this is the price it all comes with. (1/)
We wanted to let you know how weโll be approaching the short program event tomorrow, and where our heads are at. Please read โฌ๏ธ

Alexandra Feigin๐ง๐ฌ withdraws from participating in the National Championship for the Bulgarian Skating Federation Awards to protest conditions at her training rink (where the event is also taking place).
Her statement in translation:

@ifsmagazine
as a figure skating magazine you would think you would be aware that Gracie Gold is one of the foremost advocates for eating disorder awareness in this sport and that making comments about her body is NOT okay
I personally am very happy about the ice dance requirement changes because now people who used to know how ice dance works can join me in the โvibes and vibes alone, absolutely lost on rulesโ cave Iโve been watching from since 2004
Nathan's shirt has entered its next form, continuing to fulfill the prophecy that it must, over time, abstract further and further until by worlds he is wearing just a fashion sandwich board

: They feel like they deserve to be at Worlds. Stepping back from Nationals was a tough decision. It was tough physically, emotionally, mentally so they were in no mind to compete.
in this house we respect Kaitlin and Jean-Luc for being advocates for prioritizing your mental wellbeing, absolutely fuck anyone who would judge athletes for making a healthy choice which will no doubt contribute to their longevity, success and joy in their sport ๐
(2/4) At this point, to celebrate any of the skaters' outstanding accomplishments is a passive endorsement of the conditions under which they're achieved. It's irresponsible to ignore the amount of injuries and the level of absolute neglect from the coaching teams just because
Nothing is more wholesome than Ted Barton on the edge of his seat waiting for a competitor to smile with all the same anticipation most commentators reserve for a quad lutz

Marco Fabbri ๐ฎ๐น, Doctor Valtter Virtanen ๐ซ๐ฎ, Tomรกลก Verner ๐จ๐ฟ, and Evan Lysancek ๐บ๐ธ competed against each other at Junior Worlds when the 6.0 system was still in use.
I would pay Stephane to give me the kind of post-program backhanded compliment he gives his skaters. I would pay so much. "I don't know how you managed both triples with no height but good job." ICONIC. SCATHING.

whoever had the absolute balls to be rude to Kaitlin Hawayek's face: how 'bout you make yourself known and we can have some words? Motherfucker it's 2022, do better.
cw graphic description of injury, weight talk /// this absolute fucking ghoul could not restrain herself from making a comment about the weight of a girl who almost bled out on her fucking ice. I try not to wish anyone bad things but I do hope this woman chokes
donโt feel like RTing any of the posts that feature the ghoulsโ faces but obviously be agree that Kamila is very much a victim in this situation and the adults who enabled this should never be allowed to set foot at an ice rink or be near children again.
I'm frustrated, and I have no answers, and I hope desperately for the athletes -- in this most recent case Daria's -- full, painless, speedy recoveries.

(3/4) we all like to see the glamor and joy of how medals are earned. How many more of those scenes do we have to witness in real time before we stop pretending that's just par for the course in our sport?
I'm sorry but I'm just laughing uncontrollably at the absolute absurdity of following Jason Schindler's list up with just like dorky little prancing to Frank Sinatra

Let me tell you about how important Alexandra Feigin's free skate was to our entire nation which hasn't seen a free skate at the Olympics since 1994!!! The "small" stories are huge in context!!
thinking about her*

gonna say this once, quietly, and move on: hey friends, how does it feel to watch a women's figure skating even that's all about precision, class and approach instead of making physically impossible things happen?

look, y'all know I LOVE this funky young man and I'm thrilled for him but can we agree that it'd be rad if the artistry of what Jason does could be measured equally to all the god tier quads

Over the season I felt more and more pressure going into events as a favourite. But working with the mental coach really helped.
I found the enjoyment again and itโs been a
on just like, a very small personal level, itโs sort of fun and bizarre to consider that those announcements basically dropped in the middle of the night US time. like, imagine you wake up and youโre suddenly an OGM

Look I understand the knee jerk response to eulogize the sport but it feels real fucking disrespectful to the athletes who put out amazing performances despite it all today. Itโs the system that needs to go, not the sport. Come on.

I do wish the current men's field had fewer dudes in it who make me feel awful for enjoying their skating because they may or may not have done or said varying levels of shitty things! That would be so nice!!!
another reminder that the athlete caught in the middle of this (+, if we all use our critical thinking - potentially all of her teammates) is, while maybe complicit, also a Literal. Child. & the high ranking adults who made the decisions that led us here are the real villains
๐ฎ๐น Daniel Grasslโs collaboration with Eteri Tutberidzeโs team was prompted by him after his poor results at Nationals. The Italian federation approved the move.
