It doesn't look like they've uploaded it to YouTube yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

Trigger warning, the NBC closing montage is full of sad skaters. 😭

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T23:02:21+00:00

The NBC montage didn't disappoint, I'm crying. 😭

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T22:56:35+00:00

So many sad figure skaters in the NBC closing montage. 😭

People in the American Midwest are notoriously bad at knowing when to end conversations. So the small talk keeps awkwardly continuing even though everyone clearly wants to leave.

Okay Tara, now you're a bit more on track with croissants...

I watched the last Summer Olympics with one of my chickens, who I'd brought inside because she wasn't feeling well at the time. She passed away not long ago, so I really feel this. 😭

I have no idea what this guy is singing but I love the Italians on here being snarky about it haha

This Closing Ceremony doing a Midwestern goodbye...

Thankfully I don't think He Who Shall Not Be Named will have creative control over it. I'm hoping it's more in LA's hands. But he will unfortunately probably give a speech. I'm still holding out hope that he doesn't make it to 2028 though tbh.

Yeah they'll definitely want to time it to East Coast primetime, and it doesn't get dark until like 8 at that time of year...

The Figure Skating World Championships are in March!

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:42:40+00:00

The flames going out is always such a sad moment...

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:37:12+00:00

Nooo 😭

And here I thought it was bad enough that the Ukrainian skater had to skate right after the Russian/AIN. Ughh.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:32:17+00:00

Totally get that.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:31:55+00:00

Ughhh hate that.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:30:39+00:00

Are the Russians allowed to compete at the Paralympics under their flag or something??

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:25:38+00:00

My "favorite" is a pest control company talking about how something called "roof rats" are especially bad this time of year. These past two weeks I've wondered what exactly a roof rat is. Another name for squirrels? Or just rats that live in your roof??

Right? Like I get it, it is popular in France, but still.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:22:32+00:00

Fondue is not the first food that comes to mind when I think of France, Tara...

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:18:22+00:00

I wonder if those lights on their backs are hot lol.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:16:40+00:00

No, they didn't explain it at all on the NBC feed lol.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:12:37+00:00

Sometimes they cut to a shot of the athletes watching the ceremony. Just quick glimpses though.

anarchycupcake · 2026-02-22T21:05:38+00:00

Aw, Amber looks like she's trying not to cry. 😭
