Watched some of Russian jumping championships..pretty boring..all they do is jump. It would be fitting for a figure skating all star weekend skill competition lol. Top 3 took home prize money. Champions took home 1 million rubles. ($13,000 USD),prizes also awarded for top element

RIP the sensational Catherine O’hara. 🇨🇦 Legendary actress and legendary mother. To her own children and others (Macaulay Culkin). From Beetlejuice, to Home Alone and Schitts Creek and SCTV. You’ve left you mark on the globe in the most positive way. 🕊️❤️

That’s absolutely insane. It should be a global sport right in for all music to be cleared. This is insanity
I’m getting word that there are skaters having to fight music rights battles right now just days before the Olympics. We know Lauriault/le Gac has already made the decision to change their RD. Don’t be surprised if we get some other program changes in Milan

Watching Finding Her Edge on Netflix.. first impressions.. first episode was pretty cringe acting and .. I mean. Could they not find a rink that looked like it could host a competition? Russo rink fine as a practise venue but let’s not hold events there lol.

Regarding @ISU_Figure possibly proposing adding choreo elements.. here’s the issue. elements like the step and character step sequence in dance are primarily graded subjectively and count to scoring.Lower rank team = less GOE even if it’s superior to a top team. #Figureskating

Episode 5 of #heatedrivalry .. is a game changer. It’s real and the most raw the storyline has been this far. And what happens at the end.. I can’t look forward to the day that it happens in real life. Legit was in tears.

Everyone needs to chill out about the Mikhail was cheated narrative.. He was not the best.. lol. His skating is very sub par and lacks fluid transitions and skills also he left a lot of tech points on the table. He missed his opening combo , repeated a 3A which gets a lower bv

#EuroFigure 🥈Guignard/Fabbri 🇮🇹. They definitely look stronger and more where they were last year. Still not huge fan of RD.The FD looks faster and stronger and not as laboured. Tw look tentative, and program loses steam at end however its come long way. RD is going to cause issues at Olympics imo

Can someone genuinely let me know how judges assign a GOE to choreo/character step seq in rd and fd? Watching the entire event.. to me Orihara/Pirinen have one of if not the best choreo steps and character steps in the event yet the GOE assigned doesn’t say that. #Figureskating

Well.. finally finished the FD of #EuroFigure. Now I’m not necessarily saying g LFB/GC didn’t deserve the win.. but a 135 FD score?.. honestly.. come on.. 10 pts difference from 2nd in the free? My mind can’t justify it.

Didn’t see Brown/Brown from US nationals cuz the coverage that I had only had final group but noticed that YouTube had an upload.. that God Father fd was OUTSTANDING. Maybe my fav of that event.

Not a fan of the digital flags at medal ceremony.. looks so low budget.. would it have killed you to get real flags? #EuroFigure

Well it’s clear as day Nila Egadze 🇬🇪 is the first from his country to win the #EuroFigure, Matteo Rizzo 🇮🇹🥈and heavily unexpected Georgii Reshtenko first 🇨🇿 man to be on podium since Brezina in 2013 wins 🥉. #Figureskating

Honestly.. mens and pairs at #Olympics #Figureskating is going to be so unpredictable. There’s like 12 men who can medal and 7 pairs lol. My predictions are going to come out of a draw from a hat.
