I thought the episode was informative and gave good insight on Safeport's Investigative process, as alot of people dont know the whole process and have made alot of assumptions.
I also thought it was interesting when Jen spoke about her experience as a Ice Dancer and some of the things her own mother told her.
I agree. I also find it ironic that the same people who complained about the Safe Sport investigation and how it played out are now even more mad it’s very legitimate. I am amazed on how far they went back, especially in regards that they spoke to Jen. Figure skating fans do scream and cry when it happens in gymnastics but do not want to face it when it happens in skating. And it happens in every sport.
Jen also gave a lot of insight on what it’s like to be a pair girl. Her mother telling her to shut up and do what she is told..... and I agree- parents and coaches contribute to these problems. In pairs, especially in the US, the guy is considered more important. Pair guys are few and far. I feel for female pair skaters.
I also find ironic that the same people who complain about Nikolai- refuse to shine that light elsewhere. The hypocrisy is real.
