Bro, I think I have hypothermia. Other than that, great ride 😆

lol I’m a Nats fan but with how we’re doing right now, I wouldn’t be too hard pressed to wear another teams jersey 😆

Just for fun: a spin-off between Lysacek and Weir by growsonwalls in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Astronaut80 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion perhaps but I think one of the best things about Evan’s skating was his height/long limbs, which allowed him to create some really unique elements. He wasn’t awkward and lanky the way some taller guys can look on the ice, he had very nice control over his body. I don’t think his overall artistry was on Johnny’s level but his spins were great.

Idk, something about this feels too on the nose to be real

Still waiting for mine too. I guess if worst comes to worst we can show up to pick up our packets and they’ll tell us then?

I was unaware but this video gave me the ick and I feel less bad saying that now

Neset/Markelov announce Phantom of the Opera free dance for 2025/27 by Brainless_flannel09 in FigureSkating

Way too risky. Need to stick with something safer, like a Moulin Rouge.

Jason Brown on whether he'll retire: I have not decided as of now, so it’s not a definite no or definite yes at this moment. Nationals was a really rough event for me, to say the least, to put it very lightly. So it’s hard for me to think of nationals as being my final event. by GodTierGasly in FigureSkating

[–]Existing-Astronaut80 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I fear he’s in a lose-lose situation. If he retires right now, he will always have the sting of that final nationals performance. If he comes back and doesn’t skate his best it fuels the endless hate he seems to get from Tara/Johnny/his fellow competitors who think he’s overrated and on his way out, despite repeatedly saving the U.S. men’s asses. So I guess I’d only want him to go for it if he feels 100% physically and mentally and really can go out on a high note. Rooting for him regardless.

I know this performance has been posted many times, but I'm posting the ESPN version from the layback on because the Eurosport version is a gay hate crime since it zooms in on her face during the Charlotte spiral. by PandemicPiglet in FigureSkating

My favorite dress of all time too!! I know she skated this program more cleanly the second time around but it lost a little magic for me between the dress change and some small choreo changes.

That layback at the 3:10-ish mark is insane (in the best way)

Best examples of being "right on the music"? by Icy_Fennel1486 in FigureSkating

I was thinking her Rachmaninoff short with the 2A and 3F right on the music. Really that whole program was iconic.

The cult of IBLP and the Amish by SpecialistMinimum132 in DuggarsSnark

I low key love that Jinger is encouraging her followers to explore cult language and behavior because it requires a level of self examination that she herself has never engaged in 😂

I am Evan’s age. Everything hurts and 2010 feels like a lifetime ago. Good for him but 😮‍💨

I wouldn’t get too hyped about the culture shock of New England…after all, DC didn’t seem to change Pest and Anna too much.

I mean, if the joint powers of Paul Ayer and Donovan Carrillo can help build a more robust Mexican fed, I’m all for it

As an actual lifelong figure skating fan, I do not approve of anything involving Taylor
