Wait for an ice cut. ;)

It's neither cool nor uncool. I'm just saying that not everyone runs out and buys music because they hear it from skating. It's impossible to know how many are like me and how many have bought music but I am guessing it's a blip. Otherwise, I'd expect an article about how someone's music shot up...

And not to watch the Men?

One year, Angela Nikodinov was an alternate for Worlds and went on a vacation with her parents and no one could find her to tell her enough people had withdrawn that she was needed to compete. They monitor you for 24 hours when you hit your head. It's been a lot longer than that.

It depends on the skater(s) and artists. If an artist was a fan of a certain skater, I bet they could work something out. And if the skater is at the top, they could probably afford it like Kurt Browning did. I have never, ever bought music because someone skated to it. 🤷

:lol: There is probably an official skate sharpener on the team as well. And the IOC should have one on-site too.

This is what fellow teammate Breezy Johnson said: https://people.com/lindsey-vonn-teammate-defends-decision-compete-olympics-torn-acl-11900049 So it's not like figure skating with a limited number of slots and alternatives who would need to be flown, but more like swimming with a team that...

Blade damaging podiums. Medals that break if you jump too hard. What's next?

When we were talking about how US Olympians get taxed "on their medals," I was being generous and thinking that maybe they were made from expensive materials, not in great quantities, and might cost as much as $25 each. I think I was overestimating the quality of the medals. :lol: ETA and the...

Exactly. All this "gross over-reach" talk is premature, IMO.

But they'd still have to get the rights to a particular performance/recording. Unless they only skate to really old recordings of really old music. ;) Not necessarily half. Not all opinions are 50/50. It would if I ran the world. Especially since the 120 bpm requirement would also be gone. :lol:

Yes. I got the wrong link from my Google. Sorry. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/3-doors-singer-brad-arnold-dies-47/story?id=129953955

Moving the goalposts.

A lot of us said this. A few said that Amber should do the SP because she has a higher scoring potential but a lot of people countered that it was too risky. I don't know where this supposed "consensus" came from that people thought Amber should do the Sp and Alysa the FS, but it wasn't on FSU...

They definitely still interview the victim(s). They just do a better job to not put ideas in their head(s). I will tell you where I am coming from: I have IRL seen too many instances where someone defends a friend or family member against accusations/convictions of sexual assault and the...
