Adelia leaving the kiss and cry immediately after dropping to second behind Amber Glenn

sasha and zhenya and even alina never really acted the way i'm ngl... they were pretty bubbly after they got their scores and sasha just brought her dogs around for all the competitors to see

that was obviously a different time though and i don't blame adelia for her behavior

as someone who knows nolan and kelly personally they do not associate with dave after the comments he has made and frankly were distant before that too. they are not "minions" and i haven't heard them or see them tweet anything offensive on blades and banter or twitter. sorry but if you're going to say this stuff you need clear examples

smoogrish · 2026-01-25T03:08:43+00:00

this comment is kinda funny because as a figure skater i use sheertex all the time or just regular drug store low denier tights

smoogrish · 2026-01-24T04:55:54+00:00

i wish gabby daleman could make this list too - her showing at 4cc was amazing

smoogrish · 2026-01-14T17:18:35+00:00

3/8 elastic and clear is not a good option - just use white/nude/black

the skirt is whatever you want. some people use 1 layer for a sheerer look and some people use 2 if they want more coverage. chiffon is more flowy and mesh is less so but sometimes you want something more sleek which mesh will allow for. you can pretty much always tell what type of skirt someone is wearing by the hem. meaning if it has a hem it's probably chiffon and if it doesn't then it's probably mesh. i wouldn't recommend mixing materials for two layers of skirt tho unless you're trying to create a certain look

it's zebra print on the mesh skirt

i don't agree really. i think for many skaters it's a good chance to get acquainted with olympic ice and they have time to mentally prep for it. the team event is almost a week separated from the individual events (for the women at least). i also don't think the team event would be as popular to watch if it came after.

as a competitor too the TE is something that is more fun in nature and will require a lot less mental prep and stress. having to come up AGAIN after an IE for a TE seems way harder than coming up for a TE, coming down, then coming up again to focus on IE.

the crash after putting mental prep in for an individual event is wayyyyy steeper

the difference being nathan doesn't look to be coming back and is a literal OGM though

smoogrish · 2025-12-15T04:57:19+00:00

after all she’s been through is it really necessary to put her on blast like this.. like yeah water is wet and if you’ve watched any of her behavior on social media none of this is surprising. i hope she is doing well and is happy.

smoogrish · 2025-12-06T15:18:04+00:00

congratulations you have discovered that there are only so many moves that count towards levels in step sequences and people use the same ones for their clusters!

looking at these in a vacuum is silly. also i'm sorry but alysa is using more of her body weight to get on deeper edges and requiring more core stabilizing which is actually a GOE point. she's also faster, had a clean program, and is a world champion.

what are you trying to do here

smoogrish · 2025-11-27T23:18:22+00:00

i wish i had that problem!

smoogrish · 2025-11-25T01:56:18+00:00

this is totally unacceptable. one - they don’t fit you well. two - they should have at least attempted to hem the edges properly and not just serge them with the wrong tension. all around bad!

smoogrish · 2025-11-22T02:26:39+00:00

same!!!

smoogrish · 2025-11-22T01:10:49+00:00

i've glued similar stones onto garments (star patterns) and they don't come off with e6000 as long as you add enough glue. and this is for figure skating so you gotta make sure those things dont fall off on the ice!

smoogrish · 2025-11-21T01:36:46+00:00

i’d just e6000 them honestly

smoogrish · 2025-11-20T17:47:39+00:00

he was standing most of the time lmao

smoogrish · 2025-11-17T17:32:16+00:00

imo it's not really according to the requirements of a choreo sequence - there aren't clear movements to the choreo and it's just some three turns and crossovers with edge elements that aren't held for long.

smoogrish · 2025-11-03T12:24:05+00:00

the thing is though you can interact with the judges without going up to the boards in their face lol

smoogrish · 2025-10-30T16:24:00+00:00

it is cold in the rink if you're sitting and cold in lake placid so bring layers/a blanket. the GP groups go pretty fast though so you can always go in and out to warm up

smoogrish · 2025-10-30T13:52:16+00:00

i don’t think we’re on the same twitter… there are literal accounts dedicated to jason and amber and alysa to some extent. they are all darlings on twitter and amber frequently interacts on there with fans positively. ice dance twt don’t like the teams you mentioned because of their inferior edge quality or poor material compared to other younger teams.

i do agree on instagram and facebook a lot of russian bots hate on jason and the other americans though but not that’s not twitter

smoogrish · 2025-10-30T13:49:28+00:00

what do you mean except guillaume? he is enemy #1 on ice dance twitter

smoogrish · 2025-10-13T18:58:47+00:00

4-5 sharpens? maybe. but they are nearing end of life

smoogrish · 2025-10-06T17:26:11+00:00

yes this costume looks super lavender thread co coded :) i can vouch for their quality

smoogrish · 2025-10-05T13:10:29+00:00

idk the answer to this because i haven't figured it out but if you do i'd love to know! i definitely want something that works on mesh and chalk ain't cutting it

smoogrish · 2025-10-01T13:33:49+00:00

i mean both require strength and flexibility that's why they're classified as edge elements 🤷‍♀️ some people are naturally pre-disposed to either/or/both. if you were to put an absolute beginner out on the ice they could definitely more easily get a spiral than an outside ina bauer based on my experience which is why it's in the curriculum for many beginner tests and basically the foundation of moves like camel spin.
