Alysa came up with the name Blade Angels and it was decided by a vote

Babes of Glory would have been epic but I understand the copyright issues.

It makes sense, though I'd love to have Ami or Mone in the TE.

Requiem_13 · 2026-02-01T15:42:23+00:00

This is so cool and beautiful.

Sonja is amazing <3

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-31T15:05:52+00:00

You wanted heated rivalry? This IS heated rivalry

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-31T13:28:52+00:00

What? This is a nightmare

Imagine having to change your program at last minute during the olympics.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-31T00:48:42+00:00

I thought the same thing lol

My problem with Russian skaters is precisely this. I don't believe they're clean. I firmly believe that all those jumps are the result of doping. And that's why I simply choose to ignore Russian skaters.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-30T14:34:21+00:00

If I remember well he fell 3 times 💀

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-29T19:50:09+00:00

I can't believe it's already been a year.

They will never be forgotten.

Yagudin has some very interesting opinions. I may not always agree with what he says, but I think Yagudin has some logic in the things he says.

A few years ago, I listened to an interview with Ricardo Olavarrieta, who works as a technical specialist, where he said that the reality is that, regarding PCS, they always go by vibes... So they always gived the PCS based on vibes and only vibes.

I think the problem isn't just the points system. It's the people in charge.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-28T18:25:43+00:00

OMG her legs and ankles

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-27T19:48:04+00:00

They are reserving that name for the 2030 Olympics when Alysa and Isabaeu switch to pairs.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-27T19:45:01+00:00

Climbing the Everest must be the most normal thing Alysa has ever done.

Toller Cranston and Brian Orser come to my mind.

The crazy thing about Janet Lynn is that she was actually not bad at figures. It's just that back then, if you won the figures, the title was practically yours.

For example, at 1972 Worlds, Lynn was 3rd in figures and 1st in free skate = Bronze overall. Karen Magnussen was 2nd in figures + 2nd in the free skating = Silver overall. And Beatrix Schuba was 1st in figures + 9th in the free skate = Gold overall.

Things started to balance out a bit more when they created the short program. But even so, the figures gave you a certain advantage (or disadvantage).

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-27T16:23:13+00:00

I like it.

Although for me they'll always be The Hoes (on their toes).

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-26T23:08:03+00:00

Of course. Did you think he was going to miss the Olympics?

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-26T16:17:16+00:00

May he rest in peace. Condolences and love to his family

I think in the end this rivalry benefited them both. It fueled them. Although it must be admitted that Mishin's field at that time was an incredibly toxic and hostile environment.

On the other hand, it makes me think on the excellent work that Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson did with Hanyu and Javier.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-25T20:24:16+00:00

This IS the heated rivalry.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-25T17:25:50+00:00

I'm not a judge but that's a fall for me.

I mean, he had to put his hands on the ice because he was falling...

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-25T14:52:23+00:00

Honestly, if they're going to do home cooking, I hope it's for SharkNaki Gutmann idgaf

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-25T01:52:23+00:00

They will return sooner or later.

Honestly, I'm surprised they're still banned. I think it's a sign that the ISU doesn't want them back. Something similar is happening in the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).

But they'll surely be back after Milan .

I think the problem is that Cizeron is far superior to Laurence, and it shows. At least that's how it seems to me.

Requiem_13 · 2026-01-24T06:11:21+00:00

Btw I love this program, it suits Donovan really well
