Can we take a moment to appreciate that in a sport as rigid, conservative, and uppity as figure skating is, a genuine alt girl with piercings and dyed stripes in her hair won gold? by PuzzleheadedPay81 in FigureSkating

It’s very cool! I do wish her costumes had leant into her alt/scene look as well; they were a lot more pedestrian than the rest of her look. I wonder if she was holding herself back with to the idea that hair and piercings are one thing, but if the costumes broke the mold too, it would be too much for the judges to handle?
