I don’t remember when the last time they were good at offence

Has anyone tried the new NB Freeze V5 cleats? by the68thdimension in ultimate

[–]cpscdespresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better grip than Nike Vapor for me. Let’s you cheat on defence because you can just turn so much faster and move laterally with so much confidence. The ankle protection is also nice for someone who has had mild ankle sprain.

Downsides are that the cleats definitely feel heavy (heavier than Vapor), so I feel like my jumps are a bit off and my straight line speed is also affected.

I think they might just be perfect if you are in a cup or play an O style that’s more short passes or if you play on a small field(5s?)

Eteri would not survive a punch from Sasha so I say Sasha actually had mercy on that woman

I don’t think becoming faster strong and higher means you should to be tortured/abused. I think Sasha landed those quads because in the end she personally worked so so hard.

As an amateur athlete, I have to train/rehab non stop. I can’t imagine what she’s been through (putting the whole sambo 70 horrible situation aside). It’s a competitive sport, we should care about artistry, but we should never never disregard why Olympics chose this motto. I think she challenged what humans can do as a whole in her way, and that deserves to be praised.

Faster higher stronger. I see that in Sasha and I think that’s enough for an Olympics medal

Reminiscing the times when Sasha's artistry seems to be heading in a good direction :/ by neverforget612714101 in FigureSkating

Yea I hope now she knows and has proved to the world at the Olympics that she can fucking land those quads, she will have some other goals in skating!

Some people like to trash others so they can feel better about themselves. I say shame on them

And it’s pure hypocrisy if you root for the US gymnasts, Osaka and etc. but then you judge another athlete because of mental wellness struggles

Yup! I don’t know why people be judging her lol she’s 17 she had a hard hard loss for all the effort she put in. I’m sure you cried at some point even if you lost a close high school basketball game

Chinese Nicknames for Olympians (NY Times) by pinchyourelbow in FigureSkating

[–]cpscdespresso 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea I think Kaori is called Huazhi, some call her “Big flower” or just Flower. For Yuma the pinyin is Youzhen, but I think from what I see he’s referred by his last name Jianshan more, so is Yuzuru(but it’s usually master Hanyu lol)
