    The Skating Lesson

    When Ashley said she was gyped she absolutely used a common expression that had racist history behind it. Did she do it on purpose to use her celebrity to further a racist agenda? I highly doubt it. Is she a racist? I highly doubt it. Is the expression racially insensitive. Yes. Has she...

    The Skating Lesson

    completely disagree. Racists use sexual propaganda to demonize a particular race, either by over sexualizing black men or by slagging off Asian men as un masculine, right down to unscientific generalizations like all black men have big #%^*s and all Asian men have small ones. Sexual attraction...

    The Skating Lesson

    Skaters have been skating to music that reflects their heritage since forever and no one bats an eye so this like most of dave’s Observations, is pure nonsense. Just because he wasn’t holding a tiki torch in one hand and a copy of mein kamf in the other while a confederate flag waved in the...

    Alina Zagitova/interview: Only strong people remain in sport. You can learn a lot from them.

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    It’s crazy right? She’s has all these medals and top 5 finishes internationally and then stuck down in 8th and 9th at nats. She’s like the exact opposite of Karen!

    Who was Frank's 2nd favorite student of all time

    So when exactly did Bobeck take from Frank? As a junior? Was this right around the time Chris left?

    I can’t possibly decide which nat champ was the manliest until people start posting shirtless pictures. Oh who am I kidding, everyone knows the answer is Weiss :P

    Frank Carroll has officially retired.

    So Frank went to 12 olympics and had medalists at 5! The only interruption seems to be Albertville. 72 and 94 his skaters were only alternates but still, I wouldn’t mind a business trip to Japan or Norway :P

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    Does anyone know what bradie’s total lp jump layout is? AFAIK unlike 6.0 NJS doesnt reward a 3z/3r over a 3z/3t unless you’ve gone for a total pts uptick like by repeating the 3r vs repeating the 3t. I also seem to recall that the 3_/3r went the way of the dodo once they became > nazis and no...

    Really? I though the fact that she gave a lengthy interview and all people are talking about is google searches on deadly water intake that has noting to do with her sums up zag's career perfectly :P

    U.S. Ladies [#22]: No More Carrots!

    Kristi/Tonya and Michelle/Tara had exciting skates associated with them... 1st 3x, finally landing the 3s, first 3r/3r, 6.0s etc Karen vs Bradie, if it even exists, is zzzz but then so are they (all tea all shade)

    Who was Frank's 2nd favorite student of all time

    Well there always has to be some overriding narrative that haunts these skaters. If Bobek had worked harder she just would have landed more 3flutzes not gotten a true lutz, and then that would become her tag line. Look at Kim at all her success and still people popping off about a damn...

    Frank Carroll has officially retired.

    What Salome and Firebird had in common was those two performances were breakthroughs, like suddenly everything finally clicked and the skaters were able to push through from ticking off boxes like "now I move my arm like this before setting up for my combo", to finally living in the moment and...
