Haha. I think we knew that.

I wonder why Scott beats Tessa, and Eric beats Meagan. I bet Scott's Women's Hockey gif put him on top.

Surprised Gabby’s not on there since she had a moment due to her Kim Kardashian resemblance.

LOL, Scott was trending in the top 10 World wide and No. 1 in Canada during the Women’s hockey game. I’m not surprised that Mark McMorris is up there in 3rd right after Virtue and Moir, but figure skaters took all the rest of the top 7 spots which is kind of cool.

This is where the prime time evening slots in Canada really helped in overall visibility and viewership (the other three on the list had their finals take place in the evenings in Pyeongchang, therefore "relegated" to live early morning in Canada).

Eric Radford was also followed as an openly gay athlete at the Olympics. Human Rights campaign tweeted this on February 9 (flags removed):

Yeah, I heard that too. I think it's more because of her 15th place finish at the 2018 Olympics, not because of any resemblance to Kim. Did Miss K. have anything remotely close to: 5 Gold, 6 Silver and 5 Bronze medals like Gabby won by the age of 20 ? I'll still root for Daleman, and hope that she can put this disappointment behind her.

Right. I personally never noticed any remarkable resemblance prior to hearing this. There is a slight facial resemblance perhaps, but it's superficial. The rest of their bodies, nope. Gabby has muscles (not fat) in all the right places and she could probably even be a weight lifter, a kickboxer, a snowboarder, a gymnast, or a diver, if she chose. KKardashian is simply not an athlete, and she doesn't have Gabby's chops in a number of categories. Meh.

Because the men do all the work. All that LIFTING and THROWING... Must be exhausting to carry those women all over the rink!!
