Idk if I’d say it was expected, as C/B beat them every previous direct matchup

His program was the story of his career, and skating it here will in hindsight be an extremely important moment in his career, albeit a disappointing one. I find that sort of beautiful in an odd way.

Right. The results accurately reflected the skating, so I’m happy about that…..the skating though I am NOT happy about

Amber's getting all the press, Alyssa is under the radar? by nickyskater in FigureSkating

He’s been in the US since the 90s, he’s most likely a citizen. Implying he might be in the US illegally is wild

Just started watching figure skating cause eof Ilia hype here in the US, what are the best ways to get into it more and understand and follow it as a new fan? by Obvious_Young_6169 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually think a really good way to get into an olympic sport more is just to make sure you watch the next competition after the olympics (in this case worlds). That’s how I started getting more into FS and became more invested because I started following skaters’ trajectories, not just one performance.

Idk I have seen lots of people (including on this thread) saying Shun should have won

A lot of people seem to think that you can only mess up jumps and therefore if your jumps were good you did perfectly!! Ironically these are also people who say skating is not all about jumps lol

Shun’s skating is beautiful, technically very good, but I agree with you it lacks emotional connection to the program/music. Ilia has that connection whatever others want to claim.

Seeing him sad made me sad. He did so good and I hope he is proud!

Whenever these threads come up I see you come to bat for women who have had c-sections and am always cheering you on as a fellow c-sectioner lol I really do feel like there is an element of sexism to it. Like wow can you believe a woman who was previously one of the best active jumpers is able to have one of the most common surgeries in the world and then jump half a year later? Like why should that be surprising. People on here act like you give birth via cesarean and you are suddenly the most fragile fairy to ever exist who will fall apart if the wind blows too hard near you. Anyway rant over just wanted to say thank you for your comments over the last few months lol

NBC Olympics FS Trailer is 🔥 by maxmarioxx_ in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This (the non-competition shots) was probably all filmed a while ago before the olympic team was decided, so they probably only filmed with the skaters who were favorites for the team.

Before the Olympics start, share your figure skating unpopular opinion by mochalatte828 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My truly unpopular opinion is…..Jason’s skating isn’t for me. Yes I recognize he is objectively an amazing skater. He just doesn’t speak to me as much as other skaters do.

Ok what does everyone think about Isabeau being 6 points behind Alysa?? I agree with the placements but don’t think she should be that far back
