This resonates with me so much! As a millennial POC, I have struggled so much with perfectionism and low self esteem which as caused me a ton of anxiety over the years. It took me some intense therapy to fix and I realized how much unrealistic beauty standards has affected me from a very young...

I don't really know her personally, but I doubt her social media is very indicative of what her personality is like. I'm pretty sure she's curating an image to get sponsorships and likes (which is fine...get that coin!) which is probably why some may find her SM post 2018 much different than in...

Selfishly, I would LOVE it if Tessa could talk about some of her mental health challenges she's had over the years from being under such a pressure cooker and the tools she's managed to accumulate to overcome them because I'm sure a lot of that mimics real life..athlete or not. She's worked...

One of Gadbois's talents is to really hone in a team's strengths and to play to that and even constructing programs that minimize any weakness a team might have. So that said, I do no understand the two programs they've constructed for H/D. At all. They have a lot of strengths and are a...

I totally agree with this but to be honest it's not just social media but I find that's the case pretty much everywhere (including FSU). There has been a marked increase in posts that frequently cross the line between critiquing SS's and critiquing the skaters themselves and with the anonymity...

I have to say...this is really a exaggeration if you thought you were "mooned" for the entire program and then to attribute accidentally indecent exposure that they may have had as a "trump card" as way to gain more points. Over and beyond the fact that it's ice dance where costumes are...

I'm not trying to twist anything around. Nor did I think what I wrote sounds like "uber-speak" and frankly I'm a bit offended at that to be honest. All I was trying to point out was that it was a polarizing interview (regardless if it was another skater that was giving it rather than Gabi) and...

I don't think it's fair to say that only trolls or skating fans with preformed opinions about P&C have a issue with this interview. Lots of open minded skating fans who can appreciate their skating and uh..non crazy V&M fans might have been rubbed the wrong way by what she said and their...

I agree with you on this. But P/C have benefited greatly with this scoring system over the years by being in the judges favor. But it must be frustrating for all the teams involved that what you do on the ice may or may not translate to a score. I wish the ISU would take a long hard look at ice...

Sure the OG itself has it's own problems and I never said it doesn't but none of that takes away from the point of the olympics. And to be honest, for the most part the spectators and at home viewers take it in pretty good sport regardless if their country wins or loses. There will always be...

I don't think V&M ever said anything negative about D&W in any of their post Sochi interviews. Sure they expressed regret and disappointment and went on to talk about that and as I recall not a lot of people found that "brutally honest". Either way, both are widely different situations and...

I can't say I'm a fan of that interview. I think it's really unfair to say that any athlete at the games who genuinely wants to "beat the best at their best" are being dishonest. Sure everyone there wants to win....but some are more disappointed in their own performances than sitting here...

I was also thinking that it might be more lucrative for them to do their own show speaking in a monitrary sense. I got the feeling like they were testing the waters with TTYCT and because it’s so successful they may be ambitious enough to capitalize on the tour market themselves. Plus they...

We might not have had gold in Vancouver either. I feel like Vancouver much like Pyongchang was a everything went perfectly right for them senario and I think it being their first Olympics factored into that. And selfishly I'm glad they didn't go to Turin because otherwise they wouldn't have...

This is amazing! Part of me now wonders how V/M would have been had their got into pairs instead of ice dance. LOL
