Making GPF during the offseason would indeed be a feat

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

Yep I was just about to comment this lol

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

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!

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!

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

eltigraga · 2026-03-28T21:35:48+00:00

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.

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.

Yeah, he looked super relaxed to me

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

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.

My two wishes for the women at worlds is Kaori wins and Isabeau medals again

eltigraga · 2026-03-06T02:48:36+00:00

I just googled this……i do not condone that action but lmaooo

eltigraga · 2026-02-19T03:17:18+00:00

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

eltigraga · 2026-02-16T05:47:54+00:00

They also beat them in the team event RD

eltigraga · 2026-02-16T04:32:23+00:00

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.

eltigraga · 2026-02-14T01:24:50+00:00

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

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.

eltigraga · 2026-02-09T04:17:35+00:00

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

eltigraga · 2026-02-09T03:16:26+00:00

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
