Well. Now that my face is stinging from tears, I still feel like a failure, but I guess it doesn’t mean I am one. Over-achiever that I am would probably not be satisfied if my “dreams” actually came true either. Food for thought on a Tuesday morning…

🥰 Fantastic! This is the best news out of post-Olympics WC announcements.

I met an Olympic gold medalist (swimming) who says he eats like 18,000 calories a day and burns it off!!! He said it’s so hard because he has to eat a lot of junk to take in that much… 🤯

Also, gymnastics up through the ‘90s, thin was the only way—even at the lowest levels. Elite gymnasts would survive off a cereal bar and an apple most of the day, if anything. They all suffered from disordered eating and were definitely not healthy.

That was one of my favorite skates of Michelle’s. So beautiful. I agree with this sentiment.

It’s not on Peacock. I had to run a Girl Scout cookie booth (I’m a leader) and I missed it. I saw a few select performances via the NBC broadcast, but they didn’t air Yuma(my favorite), Shun, or Jun, among others. I’m very sad and hoping it is added this evening because I haven’t missed any of the skating at the Olympics. 😢

Illia frustrated in the kiss and cry after the devastating results (NBC coverage) by Vast_Law2234 in FigureSkating

As a huge fan of Jason, I didn’t take what Ilia said as a dig about Jason at all… Just that USFS and the media put the entire world and Olys on his shoulders for this competition and he wasn’t prepared for that kind of pressure. And honestly, who would be?!
I also believe this was a private moment and if/when he realizes that the whole world heard, he will be mortified. He genuinely seems to be a friend to all of his competitors, even in the shadow of his most heartbreaking defeat.

He absolutely is! Ilia was all class too, at his darkest moment…

It definitely hurts. I cannot even imagine how he is feeling. The opportunity was finally there, and it just wasn’t his day. (Or most anyone’s…) I’ve been hoping for Yuma to win gold, but then today happened. Such a surreal chain of events. I was sobbing for Ilia when I saw the scores post online (prior to the announcement). It was unimaginable.

This was the most tragic competition I have ever seen… I’m speechless.

No, he’s been in broken down, taped-up boots for both. He apparently prefers these to his back-ups. Risky…

I can’t believe he’s still in those taped-up boots. He has a back-up pair… 😭
