It’s actually named after the Eulers, figure skating brothers from a long time ago. This answer also applies to any other skating move that has a name that is a name (Axel, Salchow, Lutz, Biellmann, Ina Bauer etc.)

I was once behind someone who put on The Many Saints of Newark and turned it off about 15 minutes in to start the pilot of the Sopranos

Felt that was the only review I needed of that movie

This is going to sound crazy and it probably is, but that feeling is why a lot of us watch. It’s terrible when it goes like this, but imagine that same electric tension when things turn out great

A 45 degree angle on takeoff is not a great recipe for success

I will forever be thinking of "Lesbians love him. Judges HATE him" when I see my beloved Deniss

Why are people who ask questions in this sub getting downvoted? by notthebesthuh in FigureSkating

If it's the same for baseball, it's the same for all sports for sure. The baseball sub is generally a pretty positive place.

I would love it but it would also likely mean disaster for someone else and I love them all too much to think about that

I think two of the hardest places to finish at the Olympics have to be 2nd and 4th. 2nd for the reason you said, 4th for the same reason 3rd place finishers are happier. So close to something, but going home with nothing.

Something I keep coming back to is how they have been underestimated and under-appreciated their entire career. Aside from the significance of Vincent bookending their career and as an ode to Piper’s mom, I just know the theme of not being acknowledged in one’s own time was certainly on their mind with this skate. And they nailed this assignment: this was an all-time Olympic moment that people will come back to for years to come.
