Now the opposite: Who’s the best example of an athlete who is one of the greats but doesn’t have the medals to show it? I’d point to Kui Yuanyuan and MDJDS
everyday i am reminded about how talented the junior ladies japan field was pre covid and how now nearly all of them no longer compete internationally or at all
nbc not even showing clare’s k&c, instead filming amber and just having clare’s scores said in the background. you’re re actually going to hell, she is a US athlete too.
huge congratulations to Zhasmin Shlaga, not only for skating clean at her junior worlds debut and earning a SB score, but for also being the first ever skater to represent Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 at an ISU championships.
for the first time ever, xiangyi an (nini) has competed her solo freedance, ‘survivor.’ She scored 97.98 and took the gold medal 🥇

I am so glad we have someone like Kaori in this sport. She is the true definition of someone to idolise, an amazing athlete and beautiful human being, inside and out. Just such a ball of sunshine, we all love you so much 💓
rena & ami both saying kaori is the funnest member of team 🇯🇵 means the world to me—rlly shows that her sunshine has no bounds & even has a positive impact on the juniors ☀️
🇰🇷 The Korea Skating Union is investigating and will begin disciplinary proceedings after some members of national figure skating team violated training regulations at the camp in Italy last month.
the reaction to the haein shit is genuinely so disturbing and none of you will be seeing the pearly gates! i dont get how u can support someone just because they say something didnt happen when all the proof shown was so manipulative and textbook grooming

idk why some of you are acting as if Mao has nothing but ultra C’s. She is a consistent, fast skater with strong skating skills, solid spins and well thought out programs. Mao would have still won even with her UR called. Jia also equally had her share of ignored rightful calls.
i am honestly sick and tired of seeing how this sport can only be won by those who have ultra-cs or quads. im not saying that anyone is un-deserving of their medal but jia deserves her win too.
Evgenia Medvedeva: “We have a ‘golden list of figure skating’— ‘Carmen,’ ‘Phantom of the Opera,’ ‘Swan Lake.’ These always work.”

When I get through all my work this week, I am writing something fun for my skating newsletter. So I am asking figure skaters and fans: what skater’s triple Axel is/was your favorite to watch?
(Yes, of course this was inspired by the current skating Twitter discourse.)
saw your a past ‘best coach award’ winner dope a 14y/o with 60 medications and later get a 4 year ban after being caught with a positive banned substance doping test at the olympics and then proceed to give another known abuser the same award! you go, ISU! what a sport!!
