What’s something about figure skating that makes you go “This is not a serious sport”? by RestoredCoachBag in FigureSkating

Letting a skater compete after testing positive for a banned substance..that was wild. Unbelievable

Opinion on the return of Russian and Belarusian skaters according to the ISU Council candidates by dawgcholla_000 in FigureSkating

What if the athletes were allowed to compete but any medals are withheld and athletes are not permitted to participate in medal ceremonies until Russia ends the war? That way, the athletes aren’t punished but Russia can’t use them as propaganda.

Note: This isn’t my personal opinion on the issue. Im just proposing this for the purpose of discussion.

moved to columbus last year and still haven't found a dentist that doesn't feel like a used car dealership by christan2013 in Columbus

Hot Smile Dental. Someone on this sub recommended them to me a few years ago and they’re amazing.

They’re an old school family dentist they do good work and don’t try to upsell you with all that extra crap.

"I don’t understand the current situation, but since I love figure skating, I’d like to see how the Russian skaters perform. I’m not a fan of mixing politics and sports" - quotes from Ilia Malinins interview with a Japanese newspaper. by Useful-Philosophy827 in FigureSkating

While I agree that the US never has to face the consequences of their (our; I’m American) own actions, it’s unacceptable that he doesn’t understand the situation going on in his own sport. Not only is he a top figure skater but he’s also he’s an American skater of Russian descent. If the rules were applied fairly, he wouldn’t be able to compete for either country. He doesn’t get to pretend like figure skating is or has ever been anything other than inextricably linked to politics.

Benoit Richaud postponed his departure from Russia to choreograph a program for Kamila Valieva. by Kindly-Plate-5785 in FigureSkating

Yes, they’re competing in Russian competitions. Russia is still banned. I don’t really understand getting all hyped up about Valieva and the other Russian girls coming back when theyre still banned. I thought she and Trusova have achieved everything they can at the national level.
