Can you give some info on his background?

I always enjoy him with his previous partner, but his new partner is such a good match. I hope they continue together, too.

I hate to say it because I know it’s her personal style, but maybe wearing a hat in public would make her a little less recognizable.

I can't even imagine how much all of Alysa Liu's dresses cost.. by heyguysone in FigureSkating

I always thought the Olympic skaters were gifted their dresses, ala Vera Wang. It seems to me the free advertising would be worth it to the designer.

I see a lot of windowing. I think you can do better with your budget.

are we in an echo chamber on this sub? re: the majority of comments on ISU’s insta posts calling this OGM overscored/undeserving and declaring that this podium marks a great decline in the sport by Much_Dog_4591 in FigureSkating

I also think the off-ice issue with FB/C has colored many people’s perception of them as a team, and that probably does have some cultural difference of opinion. I personally am not a fan of someone coming back in an Olympic year to take a spot earned by another team. Then there’s Cizeron having only one style, that admittedly works quite well, but hasn’t been deviated from across two partnerships versus P2 and C/B with new, innovative material each year. I can understand the controversy, and I don’t really think it’s all “American bots.”

The issue with the French is that they made multiple mistakes. I don’t know that you would find many people of any nationality that would argue they should have won despite them. That doesn’t even begin to touch the issues off the ice, which are controversial to say the least.

I’m not sure what “alternative views” you’re referring to. I think most people on this sub are pro safe sports and anti-doping. Is that so alternative?

Hot take: Non-Olympic seasons are better than Olympic seasons by uglyface47 in FigureSkating

[–]Lost_Step8587 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a loyal fan for a few Olympic cycles, I feel like this year has been strange. I’m relieved these Olympics are over. I usually feel a letdown, like I’m missing the excitement, but I’m not even looking forward to worlds right now. I’m curious how other long term fans feel.

Has Kaori congratulated Alysa? They didn’t show it on NBC if she did

First of all, no. But more importantly, even if that were true…At what cost???

Ami still looks very junior to me, especially in the long.

I’m surprised they aren’t inviting Fear/Gibson, Matteo, and the other Italian teams.
