#20202021 season

“So not feeling Kostornaia’s short program. The Billie Eilish songs are dreadful. Or maybe, I just don’t like Billie Eilish’s voice.”

“This ‘season’ is a grotesque, dangerous joke. The ISU needs to cancel everything and give huge fines to Federations that practise bad citizenship by running domestic events now that half the world is back in lockdown. There’s no sports competition important enough to warrant traveling, even to another city right now.”

“We stan Tarasova/Morozov for wearing masks on the podium at the Cup of Russia. I hope they kill it at the rest of their comps!”

“I understand why it has to be this way, but I’m still very sad that most of my non-Russian favourites (and of course all the others too) won’t get a chance to compete this season. I miss them.”

“Natalie and Bruce’s new FD looks so good. I hope we get to see it soon.”

“I was really rooting for Young You being one of the only non-big fed skaters at the GP series. I wonder if her training got messed up switching her training between two countries that have really strict quarantine procedures or if it was purely just a bad jumps day for her? It makes me wonder about international competitions going forward though. The mental and physical component of quarantining after travel makes me concerned for everyone.”

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Trusova’s SP! People say she’s robotic and not lyrical, but Alexandra does what she wants, as she should. The costume, the music, the choreography, the elements: PERFECTION. Waiting for her to skate it cleanly! <3”

“I can’t believe how selfish some people are being, whining about competitions being cancelled when almost the entire northern hemisphere is a huge COVID-19 hotspot. Like, read a book or learn to knit or go on YouTube, nobody has to put their life at risk, just because you’re bored and want to watch skating.”

“All of my love goes to Stephen Gogolev. Poor thing had such a rough season and nothing turned out his way, but hopefully the next will be better!”
