    Kiira Korpi got married

    Apparently the wedding will be televised by the channel her sister works at, so they probably participated in the costs.

    Is there any skater who you think is likely to sweep the upcoming quad

    A Russian teenager girl will come next fall and win 1-2 Worlds, then another will come and win the Olympics, and this will continue until other countries catch up...

    Finnish skating news 2017/18

    Good for Viveca! Can see her thought bubble: "No Olympics for me huh? Imma do every freaking competition I'm qualified for!"

    Finnish skating news 2017/18

    Don't know more than her interviews, but she definitely gets more ice time than that, as do other top ladies. She comes from wealth so if ice time is limited her coach said she buys it. But of course for example I wouldn't learn double axel even if I lived with Eteri Tutbaridze in an ice rink...

    Finnish skating news 2017/18

    Yeah, atm don't see her getting there. She quit school at 15, trains with Rafael, can buy ice time only for herself if needed so she has all the best resources in the world and still her SB is over 80 points lower than the WR and she doubles most of her jumps or falls in competitions. Not very...

    Papadakis/Cizeron #5 - We're In Love With The Shape Of You

    In a few years she'll probably laugh about it, especially if they win which they hopefully will! (also someone said it's difficult to win two Olympic golds in ice dance, I guess the judges want new winners?)

    Debi Thomas interview in NY Post

    Untreated bipolar disorder can probably be as hard to live with as untreated major depression, schitzophrenia etc. No one would wonder why seriously depressed or psychotic person would quit succesful career. Plus bipolar disorder can have psychotic episodes as well. One can't make rational...

    Nathan Chen (#Slaythan Fans) thread

    He could win a medal still, that would be as much of a win now as the gold.

    #TeamTrainwreck 10: Unblock Me on Twitter! I Love You!

    I had a dream last week where Yuzuru was triumphant on a competition, no other skaters there. Don't know why, don't care who wins or loses. Also before Kiira Korpi broke her leg when still competing, had a dream where she broke her leg. Should train my subconscious to predict something more...

    Adam Rippon on Quiet Starvation in Men’s Figure Skating

    Does not compute, if I eat little I have no energy to exercise or to focus. How can starving athletes achieve anything.

    Gracie Gold and 2018 Olympians Clash with Reporter Who Claims Figure Skating Is 'Not a Sport'

    He should go for a few FS lessons, he might understand why it IS possible to fairly objectively say one jump was executed better than another, not just a matter of taste- besides they do grade eg ski jumping and snowboarding based on style as well, and athletes opinion sometimes differ from the...

    This Is the Insane Amount of Money It Takes to Become an Olympic Figure Skater

    At least in skating you find out pretty early if you have enough talent or not to continue, if you don't learn triple jumps by a certain age you'll never going to. Well I guess that applies to other sports as well, money helps but everyone's just not genetically talented to be a top athlete no...

    The Skating Lesson

    I see, well if this is the case then TSL should turn their criticism down a notch and think how to do it constructively. Even though I'm sure some skaters say as bad or worse things about un-friend competitors as anyone else, they of course usually want to keep it private..

    The Skating Lesson

    Well I don't think gossip is inherently mean, unless it's mean gossip. I don't know anyone who doesn't gossip about stuff. So it's nice to know figure skating related gossip from people who have more knowledge of FS than myself, which doesn't take much anyway. I don't watch TSL for FS technical...

    The Skating Lesson

    I wouldn't watch a show that was "oh they all work so hard and are so nice and skate so great". I like critique, unnecessary meanness is of course unnecessary but most of the time TSL isn't mean.
