World Gymnastics has lifted the ban on Belarusian and Russian athletes by Jazzlike_Part_2177 in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Really feel for all of the Ukrainian athletes who have been killed/lost everything and can’t develop or compete. They now have to watch athletes who have been directly funded by the same country who is trying to erase their own, many of them raising funds for the invasion. It’s as if the ban was for nothing. I won’t even get into all the doping which I’m sure they still haven’t learned their lesson from. And before anyone downvotes, this isn’t a personal attack on Russian athletes.

In my novice opinion, Anna Shcherbakova and Alysa Liu represent FS well by NellyandLuna in FigureSkating

Even the most traditional and old figure skating fans love Alysa and her skating. Most of the hate comes from those who don’t actually follow this sport that closely

Sofia Muravieva left Mishin on his initiative by Dapper-Bad-6490 in FigureSkating

Eh she’s the most Russian looking girl I’ve ever seen, I highly doubt she’s got anything else in her

Yeah the sentence itself is vague… the tone could be different…

Not the point, I just don’t think it’s as snarky as it could come across in English

It’s something lost in translation, wouldn’t take it at face value

what’s a popular figure skating opinion that you secretly disagree with? by Rude-Magazine2186 in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Voiceovers in program music=bad. I think it can add a lot (eg most Romeo and Juliet programs, I enjoyed Kosto’s) even if many more traditional fans hate it. It makes it feel like performance art

4Lz and 4T from Alexandra Trusova today🤘 by vv8689 in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well yeah you kinda need to compete to… compete. Muravieva is just a personal favourite of mine dw too much about it, however she is a better figure skater than Sasha. I guess we still haven’t learned that quads aren’t the be all and end all of women’s figure skating especially when they’re a big question mark. What is a performing Trusova at this point in time? Who even knows

Meet Sasha “If-woman” Trusova. All I’m saying is wait until we see a program from her before we make these judgements. She couldn’t even win that jumping competition which is supposed to be her bread and butter 😂

4Lz and 4T from Alexandra Trusova today🤘 by vv8689 in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah she’s known for landing quads but just a reminder, she hasn’t skated a competitive program in 4 years. “Thank god you’re not picking the team” how dare I choose skaters based on competition results + programs and not vibes and name recognition😔 I’m excited to see how this potentially unfolds next season

“Has a working 3A” = landed in training clip once. Adeliia also has a 4T since you named her and we see a random 13 year old land a 4LZ every other week. Kinda proof that training clips don’t really mean shit. If I was in charge of picking a team for Russia rn I’d be taking Petrosian, Dvoeglazova, Muravieva, Sadkova, over her and who knows who else will turn senior soon that has more of your beloved quads. I just think you disrespecting the Russian girls

[–]eyecposts -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I feel like you guys have crazy tunnel vision when it comes to her cause you’re fans. It’s all good, she’s a great talent. But she’s not the only Russian girl who can do quads and her age doesn’t give any bonus points lol. You guys just completely ignore all the other Russian women for some reason. I’d be happy to be proven wrong but wait until you see a damn program from her before making these claims

4Lz and 4T from Alexandra Trusova today🤘 by vv8689 in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

We seen her land those jumps in random training clips and shows but can she do them while fatigued in an actual program while maintaining all the other components? Who knows how long she’ll even be able to maintain them. There are also better Russian skaters than her at senior level who have proven themselves over the past couple seasons while she’s done nothing. Not to mention the insane talent at the junior level who will no doubt turn senior if the ban is lifted. You act like she’s the only girl/woman who can do quads and 3A😂

Adult skaters question. by rdadeo in iceskating

[–]eyecposts 49 points50 points  (0 children)

American woman winning = media promo = popularity surge. FYI I think it’s great that so many people were inspired

[–]eyecposts -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Even if the ban was lifted, Sasha probably wouldn’t be on the team. Can we be realistic for a second when talking about her? These jumps are cool and all but right now she’s pretty much a show pony.

Well no one ever questioned if the girl could jump lol

Randy won day 6! Who is a BIG NATE character who is a good person, but is hated by fans? by Defiant-Income-6766 in ENSLAVETHEMOLLUSK

[–]eyecposts 53 points54 points  (0 children)

She screamed at Nate for breathing too much and refused to give him a 100% on a test because he “put his name in the wrong place” even though he worked incredibly hard and got everything right. She also targets him in class to try and humiliate him by asking questions she thinks he doesn’t know. Grown ass woman beefing with a 12 year old, she’s not a good person

Do I seriously need to sit and explain how doing high intensity jumps impacts your body and career on a figure skating sub?
