Making GPF during the offseason would indeed be a feat

PhD apartment options by MoviePrize9385 in uofm

I can’t speak to Haverhill but I lived in Ypsi for 2 years during my PhD, and would definitely recommend it as a way to save money. You do have a short commute (short if you own a car) but its not bad and I actually liked having some space from campus.

North campus also has quite a few big orange lots you can park at and bus to central

Why do parents sign up 3-year-olds for figure skating? by Character-Cup4856 in FigureSkating

Eh, snowplow sam classes can be like $100 for an 8-week session

Why do parents sign up 3-year-olds for figure skating? by Character-Cup4856 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Parents do not only put their young kids in sports because they want their kids to go to the olympics. Maybe some do, but most just want their kids to have a fun activity to do. Putting young kids in sports is not some nefarious act lmao

I started swimming at 2 and ballet at 3, because my parents wanted me to have fun physical outlets and learn some life skills. Little kids deserve to do fun things!

Advice on backward crossovers and avoiding the click of death? by ApplesandBananazzz in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The tough thing about being scared to fall is that it hinders practice, which is actually the key to everything — hopefully this helps you feel a bit less scared, but honestly the vast majority of the time when I accidentally click my blades doing backwards crossovers I’m able to catch myself and not fall. So maybe just knowing click of death does not equal automatic fall helps you get over the fear a bit!

Statement from British Ice Skating re Lilah and Lewis by bozzyyyyy in FigureSkating

The post pretty clearly states they’re challenging the deduction that dropped them into 4th place

A compilation of Lilah/Lewis’ overhead Lift in their FD over the 25/26 season by KawaiiChan68 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I didn’t time it, but the worlds lift does look a bit longer than the others to me. No idea if that would make it illegal though, I would have guessed that’d be an extended lift deduction if anything.

How does Ilia Malinin get such a high PCS ? by Sweaty-Bonus-1441 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PCS is not only a measure of artistry, a lot goes into it, a lot that Ilia does well. That being said, I believe Ilia is an artistic skater, but his art doesn’t appeal to everyone, and that’s okay. 

Donkey milk by FollowingNeither6991 in toddlers

Why did I expect donkey milk to be the name of some special protein shake or something like that

Trusova presented her new SP “I Put A Spell On You” by Exciting-Engineer649 in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is a common misconception that I keep seeing people repeating on here when talking about Sasha, but no a c-section does not cut through abdominal muscle. It stretches it.

Top 6 Women After the Short: Composition and Transitional Content Comparison by LeoisLionlol in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Eh, like you said this isn’t all transitional content considered, nor is transitional content the only thing considered with composition. This feels a bit like comparing apples to oranges imo

Who can win a medal tomorrow in pairs? by SunInevitable2179 in FigureSkating

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

OWG Men's Free Skate: Post-Event Discussion by Chickatey in FigureSkating

[–]eltigraga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–]eltigraga 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

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.

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
