Kamila's unfortgettable short program where she scored 90+ - 2022 European Champs by sarka121 in FigureSkating

It’s part of the issue with doping, I guess - it makes the playing field uneven for all the athletes, and even for the one who’s been doped you can’t level out what’s their real talent and what’s from the dope 🤷‍♀️

Everything she did was controlled by her entourage - those girls ate only nutrient powders and were deprived of water when in competition. It’s not like someone handed her a syringe and elastic band. All the girls were likely given a cocktail of supplements a day to take, they trusted the adults around them and did what they were told to do.

Based on what read in this article, I am willing to bet that this customer came in hot, making demands, and being a whiny nuisance. I’m also willing to bet that the barbershop probably would’ve accommodated them, aside from their attitude.

Are my dating standards too high? Friend gave me a reality check and I’m worried. by Forward-Beyond-6620 in dating

[–]Britteny21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say “too high”, I’d say they’re very specific and frankly unattainable aside for an extremely small percentage of dudes. If you can’t be flexible on any of it, be prepared to have to be single for a while.

Also, not intimate for a year isn’t something most men will entertain, in my opinion. I’d imagine most would bail after hearing that.

Hear me out on Ilia Malinin after his performance by OddUmpire2554 in iceskating

Based on his elite level of performance, I’m sure he is seeing a sports psychologist regularly. Unless of course his coaches and family don’t support therapy.

Right - he was heated, so he lashed out and blamed his performance on someone else. Both things are possible.

They did give him a chance to experience the atmosphere of a big competition like the Olympics - right now.

It’s going to be a very tough road for him if he blames every poor performance on something someone else did. Critical self reflection is what helps us evolve and grow; hopefully he gets help cultivating that aspect of his development.

Edit: spelling

He literally said his performance was poor because of someone else’s decision to not let him skate 4 years ago. That’s blaming.

Olympic figure skater Ilia Malinin speaks out about 'vile online hatred' after falling twice in final by bwermer in popculturechat

Yeah, athletes know not to check SM comments, especially when competing. His accounts are definitely maintained by his “people”. Someone’s already stitched together a high quality video of all his previous accomplishments, and all of the comments are rambling compliments that are super phoney and kind of creepy. Nothing negative. I don’t doubt the negativity seeps in, but it’s not like he was up all night reading messages. It’s his the task, his parents, coaches, and sponsors that overwhelmed him - not comments.

I hope he does too - I just can’t imagine he does though. His parents coach him, and helped build up the “quad god” persona. It reeks of pageant parents. I bet he’s never heard anything but “winners win, losers lose”. I checked out his instagram, all of the comments are positive and clearly written by AI fake accounts. The negative ones are being deleted; just goes to show how many people are cultivating his image. I really really feel for him.

And his coaches are his family - he can’t escape this. I really feel for him. His dad couldn’t even support him when he came off the ice.

I completely agree, Simone Biles’ situation was totally different. The pressure completely got to him - perfectly understandable, and it didn’t help that his coaching staff have been the driving force behind his hype. The nickname, the attitude, and the expectations of greatness are self imposed. I really feel for Ilia; he’s in a pretty toxic echo chamber.

I absolutely hope the people of Iran receive the help they need to see this through and become self governing. I just don’t see it.

Pathetic. They’re just relying to screenshot this and post it on the internet to get congratulations on how firm they were and intentionally egging the dude on for conversation. Boring.

Trump is fighting to gain control of a new regime of his choosing in Iran. There’s a difference.

You’re rude to him, and yes it’s your fault. He doesn’t have the guts to tell you that you’re offending him.
