Yes the Shibs and their impure motives really must be stopped :lol: For real though, athletes make comebacks all the time. There are plenty of valid reasons to have mixed feelings about it but casting all these aspersions on their character is just weird.

Blasphemy! Black hair supremacy for sure!!

I think people are over-estimating the political pull the Shibs are going to have with this comeback. They never had that much political pull to begin with even at their peak. They were always fighting the anti-sibling bias and their last season was somewhat precarious. H/D would’ve won that...

I don’t think the Shibs “owed” anyone a continued public connection to figure skating to “deserve” a chance to come out of retirement and skate competitively again. They did more than enough to represent the sport and bring in new fans when they were actively competing imo. This is a rather high...

I know nothing about anything and I thought she was skating forwards too, lol.

It looks like a combination of the Evolution FD dress and the Do You Remember exhibition dress. I love it.

That dress is stunning!

I think we also can’t underestimate the impact of her injury in the Olympic season. The 1/6 layout may have become impossible after she sustained that. I don’t blame Eteri for wanting to focus on consistency with her previous content rather than upgrading, even if it didn’t work out for Evgenia...

That was so cute lol

I bought one of the sweatshirts already. I literally have no chill lol.

Alexandra Stepanova may be the weakest skater in the competition in your opinion, yet the mistake that probably cost them the podium came from Bukin on the twizzles :shuffle:. They lost a level and a lot of GOE there.

I think immediately. The only one I could see them maybe keeping on the JGP another season is Shcherbakova, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if all 3 went senior right away.

Trusova and Kostornaia are going senior next year no matter what happens at worlds. Probably Scherbakova too.

OMG. Super excited for this music choice. That could be epic.

The Atlantic article by the linguist was super interesting! When they lowered the pitch, that was the first time I was able to hear something other than “Laurel,” but it sounded more like “Yalie” to me.
