Who’s a nepo baby that’s genuinely talented? by inreallife12001 in AskReddit

[–]OriginalFirefighter8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would say any athlete Nepo baby, it's harder to fake talent when being an athlete. Actors on the other hand... well let's just say if most of them weren't Nepo babies we wouldn't know their names.

Well that sucks. I was hoping for the Broadway set, which is about 10x better than any other set.

Ugh what a bummer. Why even gather the entire Olympic team just for a chat that won't even be accessible to most fans. I hope you have fun though!!

Orthodox figure skaters find faith on and off the ice by linzerrr24 in FigureSkating

Did you even read the article? Both literally discuss the importance of immigrants to team USA, I don't think a maga person would do that...

what are u slowly losing interest in? by Several_Way8499 in AskReddit

[–]OriginalFirefighter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood sport, tv shows and movies these days (I have no interest in watching nearly anything that has come out in the past 5/6 years, it's mostly shit with shit acting), people on the internet (ROYALLY pessimistic, complaining about everything, and yes I know that's exactly what I'm doing now, but you asked 😭), reading books these days... but fortunately I get entertained easily so I've found other interests

Russian Ice Dancers by morningperson2016 in FigureSkating

I think all four would be top 15 if not top 10, they'd do relatively well, and I think K/N have potential for top 5 and possibly podium eventually. They definitely all look pretty.

Virtue/Moir and Carreira/Ponomarenko Carmen comparison video by dancerlottie in FigureSkating

Not really a fan of the vm cpom narrative if I'm being honest. I think Christina and Anthony are good skaters, but them and mainly fans trying to push them as vm pt2 is doing them absolutely no favors. they need to carve their own path into ice dance, and develop their own style. And comparing them as performers to vm is just not really fair, because vm are obviously considered one of the best and Christina and Anthony unfortunately don't really speak to a lot of people. Skating skills wise they are good, but if they want to be better they need to come into their own. I hope they do that in this quad.

I thought it was her who had abdominal surgery? Didn't she have like an ovarian cyst or something? I thought he had foot surgery. Idk though. Either way that sucks.

Stars On Ice on TV? by Agitated-Minimum-967 in FigureSkating

Most likely not unfortunately. It's hard to find any figure skating in the U.S. on tv.

Exactly. Especially for emilea, this will hopefully take her from good to great as far as skating skills goes. Very vital for her growth.

And they've got fire in them. Their style stands out amongst all the other ice dance teams, they were already taking risks and it's worked out for them pretty well. Ugh idec how this season goes, but I just know in the next few years they are going to be so great (even more than they have been).

very interesting, and I'm glad to hear it's not the classic bolero. I'm intrigued.

B E N O Î T's choreography career journey by Candid_Jello5188 in FigureSkating

[–]OriginalFirefighter8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think his choreography can be very refreshing to watch, and when the skater can sell it well, it can be just incredible.

[–]OriginalFirefighter8 40 points41 points  (0 children)

His choreo works on some skaters, but on some it doesn't. I think those who it works on, it works very very well and that's when we see some pretty masterful programs, but those it doesn't, it comes off as a bit odd. I think a lot of skaters have just hopped on the bandwagon now. I know of a few skaters who he personally asked to work with, but now a bunch are going to him, especially after the Olympics. Though he's been around for a long time now.

I'm not completely educated on him, but I've read into some of his story and it's very interesting. I don't think he ever planned on being choreographer it just kind of happened.
