"No one knows Mirai's mirai" Nagasu cheer thread

[Sasha'sSpins]

Is that necessary? I know people think they're being clever and cute when they do that, but as a gay man, I find it petty and gross especially when the person is in a relationship with a woman.

All I know is that it's an amazing thing to say about (or against??) straight men. My late grandfather LOVED to bake, in fact he was a ship's cook in his youth and ended up serving as a Naval chef for over 20 years - cooking, baking cakes and cookies, etc. AND he enjoyed musical theatre along with my late grandma! Same for my youngest sister's bf and all five of my nephews! But then some members of my family are or were actors, singers, etc. including my late maternal grandma - musical theatre was just part of the deal!

^^^ Well, Im gay and I drive a truck and am into football and baseball

No-one ever knows about people.

And I can't stand musicals... or floral arrangements LOL

I also couldn't bake anything to save my life.

Aww I LOVE musicals! I would (almost) kill for a ticket to "Hamilton"! But I might kill after all if Lin-Manuel Miranda stars in it again!

I'm gay too. Meant as funny, but maybe bitchy. I'll try to delete.

I didn't believe it was with malicious intent but it can be a sensitive subject and hurtful to some people.

No worries, it's not a big deal...just wasn't having a great day. Btw, love your profile pic!

Well, even though we are still waiting for Mirai to land the triple axel with positive goe in international competition, I'm getting a kick out of her name coming up in the I, Tonya coverage...

Is Meissner not even mentioned at all because hers was at a Nationals???

Technically isn't Nagasu 3rd American woman to do?

The article specifies in international competition, so yes, I assume that's why Kimmie is not listed.

Wow, Best movie of the year for her, and top 3 for the guy ("hypnotized by the movie", "thinking about this movie ever since I saw it.", "I just loved it.").

Sound like this movie and "Call Me By Your Name" seem to be getting the lost attention here in L.A.

Her Instagram story has a 3F-3T, 2 3A, and 3S-3T. All rotated.


Wish she would practice with preceding steps as a mental practice

Good idea!

That flip toe was one of her best combos ever!

Reddit is plain confusing to me. I guess her post will pop up on the link chapis posted in 24 minutes but she is not listed on the schedule on the right side.

Here's her thread with the initial questions: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7jkud3/i_am_figure_skater_mirai_nagasu_i_won_the_us/

ETA: cgirl has posted the entire, lengthy AMA transcript below - post #1405.

 

[GullyGirl84]

The most interesting things to me was that she said she does plan to compete next season (though I think she has said within the last year that she would never say a season was her last, because it would put too much pressure on herself) and that someone had looked up her information and saw that she was one of the most drug tested US athletes this year (?? I didn't click this person's link, did anyone look at this? Mirai didn't know that this information could be found either apparently, haha).

IIRC, the USADA database link was first posted in a GSD thread and later brought up in the Shibutanis fan thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...eady-for-paradise.102042/page-18#post-5185153

She already said on her Instagram story after the Japan Open that she wasn't stopping after this season. I do remember her saying that she would never say which is her last season though.

Thanks! I do remember her instagram story that she did from the Japan Open, but I couldn't tell at the time if she was just correcting what the commentator had said re: it being her last season. Anyhow, Mirai answered a lot of the reddit questions, it looks like she had fun.

Elliott Almond, the Olympics reporter for the San Jose Mercury News/Bay Area News Group, spoke to Mirai when she was in town on Tuesday: http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/13/ice-skating-star-mirai-nagasu-i-can-eat-18-dumplings/

Mirai's full Reddit Q&A for easy reading. Original AMA link: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7jkud3/i_am_figure_skater_mirai_nagasu_i_won_the_us/
BE AWARE: All of the question Mirai responded to are in here. While all of her responses were classy and polite she got some trolls so there is some racism and inappropriate/sexual content in some of the questions.

ADMIN EDIT: Please do not copy and paste material from other sites here.

 

[bardtoob]

OMG SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS . . . AND SOME OF THOSE REPLIES

 

[icellist]

Q: What do you get for fourth place?

M: The chance to compete at THE Olympic games


OMG SASSY

 

[Maximillian]

Her responses to even the most vile questions were awesome. Nothing phases her!

 

[Spun Silver]

^ Fazes, not phases. (Pet peeve.) Otherwise I agree! It sounds like she intends to have a normal life after skating, but it would be fun to see what kind of commentator she would make. I don't think she would ever be mean, but she would be insightful and make us smile.

 

[chapis]

Q: Why must you guys ruin the ice right before us hockey players go on?

M: Why does your equipment stink up the whole rink?



. I love her, she is funny and mature at the same time.
