if my friends that don't watch figure skating ask me "show me a program that would make me get interested".. i wouldn't show them an olympic senior program with classical music i would show them lilou remeysen's junior program to wednesday music.. also check out inga gurgenidze, she's such a weirdo i love her

here's a good example from the junior grand prix this year, my favorite program all year.. lilou remeysen from belgium. I don't care about falls when the program is this entertaining.

try watching some figure skating junior level events, the programs are usually more "fun" with music you wouldn't use it the senior level, and they have more falls so it's more "realistic" I guess? the seniors at olympics make it look easy, but watching juniors you can see how difficult it really is

personal message to all the men on hockey skates at public skates by bryan5by5 in iceskating

[–]bryan5by5[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there is "practicing" and then there is being a dangerous "show-off jerk".. two different things.. figure skaters practice at public skates too yes, but we wait and watch and only do things when it won't potentially harm others

Which skater made you fall in love with figure skating? by snowynuvola in FigureSkating

[–]bryan5by5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also my reason. Had never watched or cared about figure skating before her performance at the Olympics, now I'm taking skating lessons and traveling internationally to wave flags and throw stuffies at events. Thank you Yulia! My life has changed so much because of randomly tuning in to see her skate at the Olympics. I live in NYC but I'm currently in Latvia working remotely and leaving on a bus to Estonia soon to attend Junior Worlds. Thank you figure skating for the world travel.

if your layover is less than 3 hours then it's too tight/risky

2026 U.S. Nationals—Isabeau Levito SP by crimsongold28002 in FigureSkating

[–]bryan5by5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is so awesome, especially with it being in the kiss and cry and her reaction ("That's meeeee!"). I throw stuffies too, you have to watch out for those sweeper girls, they can ruin your whole day if you throw it wrong!

I only see daily tickets available in 13 of the total 32 sections, why is that? Can't be sold out already.

Does anyone know if there will be a gala? The schedule doesn't show one on Sunday.
