    Yuzuru Hanyu announces his retirement from competition (updated after his press conference)

    If Fanyus bother your mental space this much, you should probably 1) create a separate thread to complain instead of attempting to derail a thread, 2) learn how to curate your social media, 3) get off social media altogether.

    Yuzuru Hanyu announces his retirement from competition (updated after his press conference)

    It's the end of an era! I've been following Hanyu for close to a decade now and he's definitely the GOAT for me. It's been a rollercoaster ride. Live watching his NHK 2015, GPF 2015, World 2017, Olys 2018 competitions were unforgettable and it'll be hard to surpass them. I expected his...

    New Gracie Gold Interview About 2016 World Championships and Mental Health

    Given the comments she's made about Worlds 2016 since, she's really convinced that she was supposed to win the gold there, which surprises me since from an outsider's view, Medvedeva was the favorite. I'm convinced the US was ready to pull a Sochi to gift Gold the gold if she stayed on her feet.

    Russian women news & updates, 2021-22 season

    It shocks me that Alena Kostornaia was lauded as possibly the most complete skater a few years back when the 3A broke into seniors. Fast forwards 2 years and now Valieva has replaced her as the most complete skater and Kosto is in a troubled position for Olympics season no less.

    Aljona Savchenko has been released to the USA to continue her pairs career

    Idk what's more shocking - how accurate the assessment of Aljona is, or that the assessment came from Tinami.

    Fans are really getting out of hand

    Kim vs Asada happened before social media nastiness really took off. IG / Twitter/ TikTok grew even more exponentially after 2014. The fan wars were contained largely to the forums.

    Fans are really getting out of hand

    Yuna Kim vs Mao Asada. Nathan Chen vs Yuzuru Hanyu doesn't hold a candle to the nationalism and historical grudges that came into play with Korea vs Japan. If Yuna vs Mao happened in the age of social media, it would make Nathan vs Yuzuru and every other rivalry look like child's play.

    Fans are really getting out of hand

    The bigger of a celebrity/star you are, the more deranged fans you get.
