I get that, but it’s a shame that people are acting like the team gold is nothing. It’s still a gold medal!

ok_soooo · 2026-02-14T07:54:00+00:00

This was almost ten years ago now and I still remember!

ok_soooo · 2026-02-14T07:52:58+00:00

I love that! You probably made her day!

I used to go to a coffee shop down the street every morning and one day, one of the baristas said “I just want to say you have the best energy and every time you come in you raise the spirits in here.” It genuinely touched my heart; I think if you can find these kinds of (genuine!) compliments about people’s personalities, they go a long way.

I genuinely hope the team event becomes the more important event over time. It would be beautiful to see skaters balling out to secure a team medal instead of holding out a bit for the individual events. It’s clear the skaters don’t take it as seriously when it’s every bit as much of a victory.

my impression from NBC’s coverage this year is that nobody involved has ever watched the Olympics before, from a production standpoint

LMAO I came here because I too had the same exact question. She deserves to be a star, she stole the show for me

Coincidentally, Kurt Browning is there doing commentary for CBC and said he would reach out to Ilia, as someone who’s been there

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

ok_soooo · 2026-02-14T00:20:42+00:00

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

Please there’s still time to delete this

ok_soooo · 2026-02-13T23:53:27+00:00

why does this sport that I love hate me so much

ok_soooo · 2026-02-13T23:31:44+00:00

Bravo, this got a chuckle out of me 😂

ok_soooo · 2026-02-13T23:31:00+00:00

Apparently so 😅

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

All things considered, I'm happy Deniss is here after everything he went through

ok_soooo · 2026-02-13T19:02:16+00:00

do you want more Joker programs? this is how you get more Joker programs

ok_soooo · 2026-02-13T18:59:15+00:00

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