THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE LUTZ FIGURE SKATING JUMP DIED FROM TUBERCULOSIS why did it take me this long to try to connect them

Gabi Papadakis will not be commentating dance in Milan - after being the best part of #PrevagenUSChamps comms - because her former dance partner, Gui, sent her a cease and desist against her new book...the day before it came out. Just a *threat* from a man can impact a woman's career. ⛸️ #EuroFigure

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

HEY KEVIN??????????????

this is a crazy top 3, and top 8, and top 12! women's skating continues to advance gender parity by trying to men as much as the men. Is there a euro women who's a podium threat at this point?? #EuroFigure

regular reminder that countries can propose almost anything to the ISU but very little of it passes!

Also this quote makes me want to run through a wall

“As Kavanaugh put it at one point to Kathleen Hartnett, the Cooley partner representing Lindsay Hecox, a trans college student in Idaho, “I think one of the themes of your argument has been the more people learn, the more they’ll agree with you.“” We might not win this case. But we will win this.

WHOA WHOA WHOA

Qrt’ing with some tags that should pull this into the figure skating feed.⛸️ As we head into the Olympics this is a great little primer for locals to explain why they maybe shouldn’t cheer for the cool French couple. We have it ready now and we should be ready to share it around then. 💖

someone just asked the US women who they would pick for the Olympic team event. Alysa's picks: Amber for the men's short, Alysa and Isabeau for both pairs segments, lmaooooo #figureskating

This photo is amazing #figureskating

hmmmmmmmm

Interesting that ZingNik are doing 4CC -- presumably they want to boost their world ranking before the Olympics #figureskating

This is what we old-timey skatefans used to call "getting Chacked." I'm not ashamed to say I helped invent the term. Originally, it referred to a skater's performance not being shown on TV at all, despite ending up highly influencing results. It honors its first victim, Michael Chack. #figureskating

me every time i see alysa liu; “go, weirdo, go!!!! ✨✨🥰❣️🔥✨ ✨ #PrevagenUSChamps

Lol NBC cameras gotta be more careful backstage, like we know what dance is gonna be sure - but you caught igor with a BIG SMILE back there #PrevagenUSChamps

Max earned the spot with his skating this season, not his personal tragedy. I think Scott Hamilton's intro was inappropriate given how every other skater is being introed. I hope NBC eases up a bit in Milan but I unfortunately expect a double down... #PrevagenUSChamps

Excited for Japan’s team gold medal! They will deserve it #USNats #PrevagenUSChamps #PrevagenIsStupidAndSoIsUSFSA

Skaters spotted at the airport this morning?? I understand those who didn't make the Olympic team not wanting to watch the announcement gala, but how could USFS not tell them not to leave beforehand! #PrevagenUSChamps

IS ANYONE AT #2026PrevagenUSChamps willing to buy the runthrough pins that weren't at skam for me??? I'll pay shipping + a little extra for using the precious bag space

Yes, Jason Brown is the reason why the US Men have 3 Olympic spots but Jason also earned the US 3 Words spots for 2022 and 2023. Last 3 Worlds: Ilia- 1st/1st/3rd Jason- 8th/5th/5th Third American (Torgs/Camden)- 22nd/20th/21st Do with that info what you will. #PrevagenUSChamps #FigureSkating

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

It's really a fuckin 180 from how I felt last night god damn. I'm just sitting here trying to think and breathe for a completely different reason. #PrevagenUSChamps

Me last night: Crying, screaming, throwing things (celebratory) Me right now: Crying, screaming, throwing things (enraged)

relevant again

Americans will use anything but the metric system #figureskating

I'm glad the ilia we have now does a triple when he needs to and takes not just the raspberry twist, but the whole aerial out of the spin. He was wincing right before it! #PrevagenUSChamps

Trying to convince myself that I don't actually care that much that it's just sports and it doesn't hurt but I don't believe me #USNats

Joke’s on you, I am nothing

Have I been this stressed since 2008 nats????? #PrevagenUSChamps

I missed half of tomoki because I dropped my half melted ice cream upside down on the floor and that about sums up tonight #PrevagenUSChamps

Well I’m just going to lay down and cry I guess

This would be a cruel way for such a bright light like Jason to go out :-/

baby boy #PrevagenUSChamps

#PrevagenUSChamps #figureskating

Max is going to make me cry, and not just with his story, but with that skate! I think he deserves that spot, period. #PrevagenUSChamps

Upright on both 3As and no calls that's MY son!!! Those lines those spins those little leaps #PrevagenUSChamps

I am SO GLAD Lia and Trennt brought back Gladiator and it seems like they are too wow!! Deanna and Max just looked so nervous and tight #SCNats26

The man tried for the Olympics for a bit but seems truly content with the showman role, which is just as vital in this sport and world! I hope that was as fun for him as it was for us #PrevagenUSChamps

Emi and Vadym should be superstars. Put that choreo step everywhere. Let that stabbing go viral. Get them on a wheaties box. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I COULD EXPLODE #PrevagenUSChamps

katarina killed dimitry, oona killed gage, anthony killed christina, vadym and emilea killed themselves. i love ice dance #PregavenUSChamps

MY BABIES ARE GOING TO ITALYYYYYYY

"Baccarat Rouge" vs "something with a cowboy on it" encapsulates the "she's everything, he's just Ken" dynamic we see so often in partnered disciplines, lol #PrevagenUSChamps #figureskating

Gage should have stayed dead through Oona's full bows and then like, snuck away from her or something. They are so GOOD and that godfather program is SO VERY GOOD #PrevagenUSChamps

My internet really decided to wait until #PrevagenUSChamps dance and #SCNats26 women to really kick off before DROPPING OUT EVERY 3 MINUTES I'M GOING TO EXPLODE

I'll miss Emmanuel so much 😭😭😭 #PrevagenUSChamps

He ditched the boot covers though! Still a great move they look great with the costume #PrevagenUSChamps

The gogoissance this year is INSANE #SCNats26
