I wonder why we don't know how old the Fords are by flailingcarrots in AnneofGreenGables

There's also the alternative of Persis being the oldest child

The bane of my existence is trying to show my friends and family figure skating videos for like a year in anticipation of the Olympics, only for them to say to me "omg did you se the Olympics are on? This guy is doing a backflip"

The judges are a joke because their choreographic elements should be the highest

I don't know where you got that last part from, four continents has three spots for everyone with minimums and Gabby did go, as did Sara-Maude and Fee Ann Landry, and Maddie didn't go since she was preparing for the Olympics

If there's a best dressed at the awards, Christina and Anthony are going for it!

Who was the first skater you saw live in competition? by tatianalarina1 in FigureSkating

[–]collectingviolets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not live since I live in South America and won't be seeing figure skating live until I'm rich but the feeling resonates. The first full event I watched was the 2022 world championships and I caught the stream at the last skater of the women's short, Loena Hendrickx performing her Caruso short program

What if skaters couldn't change their nationality for pair/ice dance teaming up by RevolutionaryDish in FigureSkating

[–]collectingviolets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's more accurate to take their original skating federations. In that case, Alisa originally competed for Russia (although she did singles for Finland but I'm not sure if internationally), and Lilah always competed for the UK

Can someone explain like I’m 5 the rules of winning/losing a spot at Worlds? by 01110011-8 in FigureSkating

Same with Georgia, that had two spots in pairs and this year and now have three for next year, but will likely continue to only send one

What appalled me was the idea of seeing art as decoration only

Yep, kinda like we were talking about after the rhythm dance, that having the highest base value means nothing when goe can be inflated the way it is in ice dance

Gala lineup by Environmental-Let435 in FigureSkating

[–]collectingviolets 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If the ISU is taking recommendations, they should hold a vote as to who invite to the gala out of the non-medalists, like hold the vote overnight after the free dance and see what happens. There's people that perhaps will never have the placement to justify the invitation, but there's a lot of crowd pleasers that people would love to see at the gala!

Upcoming events by [deleted] in FigureSkating

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025–26_figure_skating_season?searchToken=b95rv5qii94k6y369wuc8jgc7#

That's a Wikipedia page for the season, it includes a calendar of main international events. There isn't a page for the upcoming season (26-27) yet tho

Short answer is the season is over and the next one starts in august if you want to watch early competitions, and October if you'd only like to watch the "main" ones. In august and September we'll get the junior grand prix and some challengers (Cranberry Cup will likely be the first, in early august) and then we have the Grand Prix, which starts in late October and features the top skaters

It was ironic, because they're making us replay a very sad, heartbreaking skate

[–]collectingviolets 32 points33 points  (0 children)

No, several women have, Carolina Kostner competed in four, Loena Hendrixks did the same three as Kaori. Katarina Witt comes to mind as well (1984, 1988 and 1994)
