“The U.S. Olympic athletes aren’t speaking out against America. They’re speaking out against the Trump administration because they love America.”

Can I live in an episode of Black Mirror and just have the name Surya Bonaly erased from my internet? IDC if y’all want to chat about her but if I have to see one more person share some misinformation about her story I'm going to crash out.

A reminder for ✨ALL✨ figure skating fans: PCS is more than just skating skills and skating skills is more than just edges. 🧵:

NEW: Huge cheers earlier for the Ukrainian athletes at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium. Even the commentators can’t hide it…

Alisa Efimova / Misha Mitrofanov of USA - The best team in the US right now. They're two-time US champs but alas Alisa is Finnish and doesn’t yet have US citizenship. Their FS this year is a beautiful tribute to Gordeeva & Grinkov. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzd_...

Jason Brown of USA - Jason brought back his most-famous FS as his SP this year, and I'm so sad we won’t see Riverdance again at the Olympics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHs-...

Tomoki Hiwatashi of USA - Play Freebird!!! It looked all season like Tomoki might just make it to the Olympics in his final season, but alas he stumbled at Nationals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bFZ...

Jimmy Ma of USA - Jimmy is THE entertainer of US Men’s skating. He’s retiring this season but he left us a glorious, if imperfectly-skated gift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUT5...

Kazuki Tomono of JPN - Moving on to men, starting with Kazuki taking everyone to the CLUB. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_URn...

Wakaba Higuchi of JPN - MY WONDER WOMAN. Wakaba is retiring after this season, and she was injured and couldn’t contend for an Olympic spot. But she still went out at Japanese nationals and gave us a beautiful goodbye skate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPoB...

Starr Andrews of USA - Starr has announced that she’s retiring from singles after this season and switching to Pairs, but first she had to lay down the program of her career at Skate America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUhY...

Sonja Hilmer of USA - one of the coolest skaters out there. She makes her own costumes, choreographs her own programs, and spins AND jumps in both directions. Also, in this program she "tap dances" to the sound of her own blades in her step sequence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V939...

Gabrielle Daleman of CAN - Gabby is having a great comeback season after having two surgeries on the same ankle. She came surprisingly close to claiming Canada's one Olympic spot this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCrs...

Josefin Taljegard of SWE - And switching to the women! This was THE performance of Euros for a lot of people, me included. Josefin is a fan favourite for a reason. If you watch one performance I'm posting, make it this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_S...

Caroline Green / Michael Parsons of USA - my favourite Americans are tragically first alternates for their second Olympics in a row! They have a fantastic modern aesthetic that I really love. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh90...

Yuka Orihara / Juho Pirinen of FIN - We're starting with ice dance and what is absolutely THE most unhinged program of the season, which I absolutely adore. They qualified a spot for the Olympics, but alas, Yuka was not able to get citizenship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoY5...

Before the Olympics begins, I want to post some great figure skating from this season that you won't be seeing at the Olympics because: a) the country/skater didn’t qualify b) the skater doesn’t have citizenship for the country they compete for, or c) the country just has too many good skaters

Ilia Malinin + 5S + ”on his feet” This kid might be the dumbest human being on earth to risk injury 65 days from the Olympic opening ceremony and all but guaranteed individual and likely team gold medals, but if anyone can do it 🤷‍♀️

Istg we go through this every olympic cycle #gpfigure

As we watch Grand Prix NHK ice dance this week, let’s remember what a ginormous piece of shit abuser Alex Shibutani is: m.youtube.com/watch?v=46fY...

Uh, #shibsibs are back? 😳 #figureskating is toxic and #icedance is the worst of the disciplines. m.youtube.com/watch?v=46fY...

Re: Zach Donohue and his love affair with Charlie Kirk Why is Ashley Cain’s (non-figure skating) ex-husbands (non-figure skating) new wife in Zach’s Instagram comments? What absolute fucking weirdo inserts themselves in their husbands ex-wife’s extremely small borderline incestuous community?

They're mad about those gold medals the other dance teams got after they screwed them over in 2018. 🤣🤣🤣

Reaction: Wut? But it's May 1st, not April 1st #Shibsibs
