    Russian figure skating news & updates in 2022

    Thank you. And also, why hasn’t the US been banned from ISU yet considering how many have died as a result of the wars this country has led? I guess it’s okay because, you know, they are all fighting for democracy and freedom, eh? Unsurprisingly, western/G7 hypocrisy and ignorance is through the...

    No NBC announcers at the Olympics..

    No, you are pathetic and obviously your bias is clouding your comprehension ability. Firstly, the original argument at hand was “foreign media not being allowed to go home from China” which is entirely different than the issue in the first article you cited. Secondly, you obviously missed the...

    No NBC announcers at the Olympics..

    You know that western mainstream media like BBC, DW and CNN have all been reporting from being on the ground in China, have even been allowed to go into sensitive regions many times over to do their “investigative” work, and have been ramping up their openly critical and condemning “reporting”...

    Hawayek/ Baker Cheer Thread

    So so so overjoyed for them 😭 and Chopin is a masterpiece, it makes me so emotional that it’ll be skated on the Olympic ice.

    Eternity was much better this time around and done with much more commitment, though I’m still not sold on the hodge podge. And he’s back 😭…for now.

    There were reports that Nathan’s mom was at rinkside actively giving him instructions to practice specific jumps while Raf was present. I think some are worried that this might turn into a repeat of the 2017/2018 season where his family/mom was apparently interfering with training and overriding...

    It’s really a brilliant program. The leaked version from champs camp looked so good, especially the lacrimosa stsq. I need him to skate it like that with all the jumps 😩

    I wish he realized he doesn’t need to out jump the field this time to win. It’s not 2018 anymore. Quality over quantity would be really nice.

    But I had assumed that he didn’t participate in the last few years mostly due to school, and now that he took a year off he would take advantage of this opportunity. Hope he’s not injured or anything.

    I do wonder if he’ll tone down the quads if he does win the Olys and decides to stay around to compete for a while. I do agree that from a practical point of view it’s incredibly demanding to keep training for the tech content he does right now. And it doesn’t look like anyone is quite at the...

    I don’t think I agree. Nathan has other interests but also appears to me to love skating and performing a lot more than Evan ever did. He’ll probably go back to school and finish his degree, but I don’t see him retiring right away and he might even come back later on.

    Ah come on. Mariah’s Experience FS and Hallelujah FS prior to ABBA were both wonderful. She probably just wanted to experiment with something different. And when skaters experiment, good things don’t always happen.

    Maybe as a symbol of this being the last of his competitive career? 😢

    Curious as to whether Shae did the choreo. If it’s Shae then I can see her using more of the remix version since I can’t remember having seen her work with purely classical music. I could be wrong though.
