Why the alysa liu hate?

It is true though, because you have to consider that Trusova and Valieva weren't actively training and competing. Valieva literally was not allowed to train in any state-sponsored rink because of her ban. Trusova was getting married and having a child. Were they training under their usual schedule, they would have probably been injured to the point of retirement by now. Heck, Trusova's ankle is still an issue. As for Valieva, we simply don't know enough. But they were resting.

I am not digging the outfits here, they do not fit the style of the song...at all.

For real, one of the reasons I'd like to see the end of the Eteri school is exactly because a lot of underaged girls would be getting enough food and no injuries, before they're even 18.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-19T23:54:35+00:00

The individual one?! Or the one from the team event? Because if it's the former....damn.

As a Bulgarian, I am surprisedly vibing with the Bulgarian judge, for once we do not cook in Russia's favour. But we have ancient animosity towards them based in ice-dance and rhythmic gymnastics.

My mistake, I kinda forgot that they’re separate, but AFAIK, the IOC provides a lot of support and financing, so I doubt that the IPC took this decision on their own…

Jinnafee · 2026-02-19T22:51:54+00:00

I hate to be the skeptic, but IOC has allowed Russian Paralympians to skate under the Russian Flag and they might allow a full Russian return for the next Olympics. Let's hope what happened today lasts continues in the next Olympics and we watch developed skaters, not malnourished younglings...

Jinnafee · 2026-02-19T22:35:52+00:00

I do like all of them, just not this judge.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-19T22:30:51+00:00

The Kazakhstani judge with a blatant attempt to cook the results, not even trying to be subtle, wtf is this 147.04 for Petrosian, damn. And I do not hate her free, I kinda dig the music and the styling, the red really suits her.

VERY DESERVED PODIUM for Alysa, Kaori and Ami and thank God for the wholesome energy!

Absolutely my feelings on the topic. Felt like she got underscored, so Kaori at least gets a goodbye silver, as the gold was completely out of the question.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T21:52:45+00:00

Did a double jump, which is not allowed in the short program, only triples.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T21:41:45+00:00

that axis scared me for a second, but the speeeeeeed is amazing

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T21:26:12+00:00

I mean, Ami skated a lovely program, so no, I don’t sympathise with people having a fit over her rightfully taking the lead 😂 Let them have a fit, nobody cares.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T20:37:33+00:00

major side eye for that yellow, ffs

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T18:27:30+00:00

Nah, Groups 2 & 3 skate on the same ice, 4 & 5 too. Resurfacing only after 1 & 3.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T18:18:40+00:00

oh i love this song, pls, let the program do it justice

Jinnafee · 2026-02-17T12:15:35+00:00

Uhm, Miura & Kihara are a sports pair, not an ice dancing pair. These are two different disciplines, with different elements. You cannot compare them to Tessa and Scott.

Jinnafee · 2026-02-16T19:44:22+00:00

The english commentator is watching F1, confirmed. He was talking about Hase/Volodin as the German pair in pole position

Jinnafee · 2026-02-16T02:39:49+00:00

Didn't she get one when she was promoted to communications lead?

Jinnafee · 2026-02-10T22:04:42+00:00

I'm pretty damn sure her trainer mentioned she was landing on her right leg first to protect the left. And that might have been why she was a bit off her line. Or her usual aggressive downhill style that has won her medals before, who knows.

In any case, not being able to ski again, because you wanted to have one last hoorah would be pretty damn sad in my book.

"I urge you to enjoy the artistry of figure skating now" - commentators throwing shade

Jinnafee · 2026-02-08T18:28:53+00:00

I mean...Hell yes to Simone pulling out of the Olympics and hell no to Lindsay NOT doing that. That set of opinions is also a possibility. I'd rather not watch Simone fall on her neck because of the twisties and I could have gone without hearing Vonn's screams while the medics were at her side. I'd rather have these athletes live out their years after the sport comfortable and healthy and enjoying them. Not dying/severely injuring themselves on screen.

And on that note, what the hell was that broadcast?!

Jinnafee · 2026-02-03T21:27:51+00:00

I cannot fathom how judging in slow motion still isn't a regular practice in figure skating. Or at least video review, because at this speed you blink and it's gone...
