#discipline overview
“This is about Nathan’s 4A video. I think it was wrong of people to share the video publicly because the video WASN’T supposed to be shared publicly at all. The video was supposed to stay private, since even Nathan probably didn’t want anyone to know about it. The person who took the video will now be in huge trouble.”
“I really like both of Aliona’s programs. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions. I like them a lot, I also like both dresses too! I also hope that she gets her 3A back.”
“To those who watch juniors and leave comments like, ‘she should lose a couple kilos,’ are you even freaking sane?”
“It’s honestly depressing how many skaters have to turn their personal social media into sales platforms for fast fashion, passing itself off as sportswear or environmentally (un)friendly stuff like bottled water, just to earn a bit of money because their federations can’t or don’t help to fund them.”
“Petrosyan =’s Valieva, Valieva =’s Zagitova, Shcherbakova =’s Medvedeva, Akatyeva =’s Kostornaia, & Zhilina =’s Trusova.”
“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.”
“Prayer circle for Alina to return to competition.”
“Cup of Russia is really proving how real the Eteri bonus is.”
“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.”
“I adore Tomoe Kawabata short program to ‘Waltz in the Evening Glow.’ I hope she can perform it clean one day! :)”
“I miss the Shibutanis so much…”
“I really want to see Starr Andrews get better and maybe, even make it to the Olympics. In a sport that is so heavily dominated by white and Asian athletes (at least in the U.S.), it is so nice seeing a Black figure Skater. There needs to be much more diversity in figure skating. I really want her to do well, so that little Black boys and girls can look up to her, the way that I looked up to Michelle Kwan and Kristi Yamaguchi, as a young Asian American!”
“Sasha Trusova is hurtling her way to being an olympic champion, and I’m here for it!”
“When will the FS federations learn the lesson and stop hyping pre-teens/juniors/novices so much and naming them the next olympic champion, when they haven’t even finished growing and developing physically. Yes, I’m looking at you, Rusfed, and don’t get me started on the USFSA. I have no clue how they’re gonna fix the Alysa Liu problem, that was some big PR campaign gone to waste.”
“Petition to make Mishin share the fancam he did of Sasha’s FS at the Russian Cup Stage IV pls, ngl that was so funny, he was like a proud grandpa recording Sasha’s jumps!”
“For some reason, the higher up the ranks, the more boring and warhorsey do the music choices get. Rika is a shining exception to the rule tho.”
“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.”
“After Yuzu, P/C and Sui/Han, mens, ice dance and pairs will be so bland, and maybe will be for quite some time. There won’t be anymore nails that are sticking out, just a field of sort of the same, similar things over and over.”
