Waltham Market Basket is celebrating St Patrick's Day by blasting DANÚ on the store PA and this I am extremely ok with

I do! #F1

Philippa Cole is Yuja Wang's agent. The way I'm reading this, Yuja (or her agents) sent a diplomatic refusal through official channels, and Norman Lebrecht here then emailed Yuja directly, attempting to make her feel obligated to say yes to being on his show anyway...

Now that backflips are legal, Adam and Ilia say synchro backflips need to be a thing, too! #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

Does anyone know who was in the Deadpool suit during Misha's panda program? #figureskating #milanocortina2026

That was adorable and so her. And man, when Jordan rotates around a skater while they're in a spin? Impeccable camera work and so incredible to watch. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating

Misha doing triples in a panda costume will never get old #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

"We have Tessa Virtue's Moulin Rouge dress at home" #figureskating #milanocortina2026

GALA TIME! time to sit back, relax, and watch the skaters put on a show. #figureskating #milanocortina2026

Anyway, thread incoming of some FS programs that I think make magic with the music, including some warhorses and new (or new to the rink) music.

talked my editors into letting me write about figure skating! and music! congrats disco queen OGM Alysa Liu, champion of my heart Kaori Sakamoto, and everyone else who isn't named Eteri Tutberidze! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/20/a...

Reminder that Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu supports trans rights

Alysa Liu - a brief thread

Kaori and Yuma can hang out and look at their collection of incorrectly coloured medals and laugh because they are two of the best figure skaters of all time and Olympics are just for funsies #MilanoCortina2026

And the women’s team: - the daughter of Chinese immigrants who rebuffed an aggressive campaign to get her to skate for China - the daughter of an Italian immigrant embryologist mom who named her after a Michelle Pfeiffer character - the pansexual daughter of a Texas cop (who is her biggest fan)

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST ALYSA LIU

i think she might have just

Ami you're a delight but please pick better music next time you come to the Olympics, this cover of What A Wonderful World is anything but #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

Regret nothing, Kaori. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

“That’s what I’m f—ing talking about!”

"THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKIN' TALKIN ABOUT!" - Alysa Liu, ungovernable Olympic individual medalist #figureskating #milanocortina2026

Guys I just got out of a meeting and watched Amber Glenn's free skate and I am screaming at my TV and clapping and tearing up. Redemption!!

AMBER GLENN OLYMPIC TOP 5 LET'S GO (and nothing for Eteri, bye) #milanocortina2026 #figureskating

she's not allowed at the boards with adeliia but NBC jumpscares us with the backstage eteri-cam anyway #milanocortina2026

It really did. So happy for Amber.

This story hasn’t broken widely enough — maybe our current media landscape will never again be wide enough — and it sounds bad.

roses are red some humans are trans and that won’t change with your bigoted bans

Can Nathan Chen please check on Ilia Malinin stat, because Nathan is probably one of the only people in the world who understands exactly what Ilia is going through at this moment #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

This is a friendly reminder that if you're going to hire an Etsy witch to curse a French man figure skating at the Olympics, make sure they know *which one*. (For legal reasons, that sentence is a joke.) #milanocortina2026

If we can't fix this, nothing else will matter. I try not to despair, but some days it's difficult.

There's no #figureskating today at #milanocortina2026, so I decided to see if I'd missed any chaotic hobbies in the Olympians' ISU bios when I made the original threads. Surprise, I did!

Oops. That's not an Olympic medal. But that is one of Ilia's cats. My guess: whoever's watching the cats put a medal on Mysti to take a photo and send to Ilia, which he posted for all to see b/c cat dad code says you must share photos of the baby.

Je pense à Gabriella Papadakis, ce soir.

yes is this 911 I'd like to report a -- know what, i'm not even going to joke about this. ice dance scores not real anyway, but this feels like a slap to everyone who's ever asked for better. a predestined coronation where all the anointed had to do was show up. #milanocortina2026 #figureskating

seen on #MilanoCortina2026 free dance venue feed after Zingas/Kolesnik's skate: these spectators have the title of Gabriella Papadakis's book written on their arms in French and English: "Pour ne pas disparaître" /"to not disappear" #figureskating

Something getting lost in the backflip discourse is that Ilia isn't responsible for the backflip revival. French skater Adam Siao Him Fa is, and iirc he has acknowledged Surya Bonaly as an influence. Here's more or less what happened: #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

Ooo, this is very incorrect, @apnews.com. You may not have to get permission from a long-dead composer, but you absolutely do need permission from the people who own the specific recording you’re using, which is generally not in the public domain yet.

Since all the knife-shoe enthusiasts are online these days: anyone know if there's a good recording of Kevin Aymoz's 22-23 "Singin' in the Rain" gala program anywhere that doesn't have commenters yapping over the entire thing? #figureskating #milanocortina2026 youtu.be/gX14Z6bhEHo?...

YUMA YOUR AXEL 😭 #MilanoCortina2026

first group of men on the ice so you know what time it is: PRAYER CIRCLE FOR CLEAN DONOVAN CARRILLO SHORT #MilanoCortina2026

I don’t know man, if last night’s halftime show made you feel even the faintest whisper of a negative reaction you might just be a colossal baby.

Ilia Malinin's cat looks appropriately unimpressed with the team gold medal #milanocortina2026 #figureskatiny

Me too, Patrice, me too: #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

for those not aware, madison chock has designed the costumes for herself and evan, as well as team spain and team georgia ice dancers! #MilanoCortina2026 #WinterOlympics

are they actually playing KATSEYE's "Gabriela" in the venue or is that just over the replay, because 😬 #MilanoCortina2026

Wow -- Gabi Papadakis was fired as an Olympics ice dance commentator because they said she couldn't be objective, and now the announcers are just summarizing and quoting everything she said in her book about Cizeron, plus all the history about Sorensen and Fournier Beaudry.

ice dance time at #milanocortina2026! the mandatory theme is "music and rhythms of the 1990s" and we kick off with the Spanish team delivering the first of this competition's three scheduled rhythm dance programs choreographed to Ricky Martin
