"artistry is used to dismiss athletic revolution in women's skating" actually the word artistry is used to dismiss the athleticism of skating skills and the ability to maintain good posture and body alignment to the end of a program without visible exhaustion hope that helps

team japan meeting and posing with takaichi is disappointing and to me unacceptable. that's an absolutely fair opinion, but it's icky people are turning it into a competition of which nation's leader is the worst. bc nothing on fstwt can go without virtue signaling i guess

Also, let this be a reminder for everyone that international sports are political and you should speak up about these things if you ever want to see change from athletes in conservative countries.

it has come to my attention that some people don’t know who wakaba higuchi is. that’s only one of the best performers and most dynamic skaters of the past three quads….

People said if he didn’t fall on 4T he will podium. No honey, even jun had two clean program they will not let him stay on podium. They will find a way to underscore him somehow.

the concept of comparing rino and alysa’s skating skills IN DEFENSE of alysa

💛🤍💜🖤

it irks me everytime i see alysa discourse abt her being a slow skater (which is true!) and then some ppl say it’s bc she’s heavier/weighs more paying no mind to kaori who has a similar body type to alysa imo and nonetheless has speed and good ice coverage like ???

she’s catching slow skater allegations… OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!!

"but she had URs-" so did alysa, they just didn't bother to call them😶 if having urs/qs makes the program *not* clean, then no one should've won the olys based on that argument

fs watchers neeeeed to learn that PCS is NOT subjective. please for the love of god read the handbook. PCS is based on many technicalities, not just joy and vibes

“alysa won because she was clean.” mone was also clean, and she has better skating skills, better presentation, and better composition. the difference is that her jumps were rightfully called, while alysa’s weren’t. the fact that she was behind alysa is a crime.
