That spin was wonderful! I wish that and many other things were in that program. By the time GPF rolled around, that program was stripped of most of the interesting parts from the earlier version of that program that just needed to be cleaned up.
I myself appreciate people being careful and conscientious because lord knows we can use less mess from everyone these days given what we see as normal social media behavior. But I also don’t want people to act like an image. You can still be yourself and careful.
It’s crazy they get a very lengthy Time Magazine story when the U.S. has a 3-time and reigning world championship winning team that just won the Grand Prix Final. I do admit the Shibs probably make for a better story, even though the article downplayed Alex’s abuse.
If we’re going to alter history that much, then my hypothetical has Kwan having her best skate of the season (she was still capable of doing 7-triple programs). I mean this hypo is already asking a lot by cornering us into the situation that everyone was going to skate the same way with the SP...
If Slutskaya placed first in the SP in SLC, and if they all skated the same way, a few of those judges would have placed her third in the LP to give Hughes the gold. I have nothing to prove this but it’s a strong feeling I have. The skate orders would have been different due to the order of...
I will say that last piece of her “Mario Goes For a Walk with his Dog” (I call it that because of the dog at the fire hydrant spiral positions all over those Olympics) does make me nostalgic for the mid-2000s with that stupid Euro-trash generic techno beat. So many programs during that era added...
The Shibs changed the wrong program. All they needed to do for the RD was change the costumes to make it look more “show biz” (and trained and compete 2-3 years before they did). It’s the FD that has brought them down and made this comeback more of a joke than it already was going to be.
I wasn’t sure what to call them, but I was talking about the class next to the GPF finalists that are expected to to contend for titles next quad. But then maybe some of them are in their 30s too, like Charlene and Marco, 😂.
Oh gosh…. I don’t mind skipping that part. These skaters are all so young even though many of the challenger class are well into their early to mid 20s.
