Oftentimes, people are vocal in public because they have little influence in private. :shuffle:

Publicly saying that Sorensen is innocent and that the victim is lying is not "no fault of her own."

Releasing Vanessa James didn't really cost the FFSG anything. Releasing Laurence Fournier-Beaudry has likely cost Skate Canada a placement and potentially a medal at the Olympics and Worlds.

A player to be named later. :sekret:

I meant Skate to Milano, not Worlds. A Federation would actually have needed its skater to score 179.77 to bump China out of that last spot. 185 may be impossibly high for any Swiss woman at the moment, but it is not ridiculous. Kaiser shouldn't be skating right now. I don't see why...

Kaiser scored higher than that at Europeans, Worlds, and Nebelhorn in 2024. Repond has scored higher than that many times. No other Swiss woman is in their league, and 185 was about what was needed at Skate to Milano to qualify for a spot at the Olympics.

🤔 Children of the Void? Is that a new cult?

Yes, but Vanessa is an Anglophone Canadian. They never do speak French. ;)

This is hilariously absurd. Was the rule that no part of her body could be over the line or that no part of her body oould touch the floor over the line?

@Desperado Resistance is futile.
