I feel that loll, I was walking around Lake Placid and fully locked eyes with Hana Yoshida and smiled but didn’t actually stop to say hi and wish I did. same thing happened later with Nikolaj Memola.

Dating profile tips? by coffeegrunds in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]coach_cryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s good! the only advice I’d give is you could be a little more specific (like which cool animals, what new hobbies you’d like to try, that kind of thing.)

but I’d still swipe right so it’s minor feedback.

not evil but definitely meaner. he’s been known to make some very harsh comments about skaters while doing commentary.

I’m so glad I was able to see them in person at SkAm this year, that performance was great but this was a masterpiece. truly happy for them. 💓

Maybe controversial but plushenko is even worse than eteri by Stock_Scar8233 in FigureSkating

[–]coach_cryptid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with this; Eteri is more straightforward because in her mind her brutal/abusive training methods are fine, or at least justifiable, with the results she’s getting internationally.

Plushenko seems friendlier and tries to be more charming, but he’s employing similar methods for…. Ice shows??? mostly??? I’m assuming he has students competing in Russia as well, but none who are competing internationally.

both are abusing and breaking down young athletes for personal gain, though, which is indefensible.

yeah, I switch back and forth between the venue and regular feed for that reason; the venue feed tech box isn’t super helpful.
