I hate this shit so much, it's like the internet is just intentionally shrinking itself down to prevent connection

Idk I feel like the weird energy around Malinin is because he himself appears to be a complete weirdo and also something of a cyper

Like compare Chen who was suuuuuper well marketed. Like so well marketed. to the point it worried me. whereas Ilia is just an odd lil gremlin
February 9, 2026 at 10:36 PM
if Ilia craters because of the pressure and the stupid posting I won't forgive you all

changing my handle to #1 ilia malinin defender for the next week

I can't believe all these people have me defending a BLONDE MAN. The depths to which public ignorance on figure skating will force a fan to sink to....

Put some respect on the name! his quad axel is unreal, and I'm tired of seeing people imply he's not all that (sorry he is!!)
Ilia Malinin in figure skating! The phenomenon who raised the technical level of the sport and took the discipline to another level with the quadruple Axel

One of the big highlights of these Olympic Games 🔥

Also not to be a gatekeeper but it's annoying that the backflip is getting the attention when that thing was messsssy like his quads looked way better
February 9, 2026 at 10:07 PM
I'm getting so fucking pissed at how you all talk about Ilia Malinin like he is a Simon Biles level athlete and all anyone wants to do is put him down for some reason??? Like is it literally because he's got a Russian name?? What's going on???

Bonaly was an incredible athlete, but the back flip was banned (because it can't be graded easily, it's complicated) long before she did it, and Malinin isn't getting a jump component for it, it's just no longer a deduction. Bonaly also did it when she knew she was out of the running for a medal
I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago

Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

I really like sports because similarly to academia its this insane bubble world where the people inside it have utterly distorted priority systems that can only make sense if something is broken in your brain and the way your brain processes rewards

sports are so silly man

my toxic trait is not being able to get down a blue slope without bursting into tears and looking at this downhill course like "hmm doesn't look so tough"
