Congratulations everyone

pretty much all melons can do one

Kaori is absolutely my Olympic Gold Medalist. Kaori Sakamoto OGM.

I fully believe Narendra Modi is a CIA plant.

figure skating the sport really did peak with yuzuru. it's been downhill from there.

if OGM is not necessary to be considered GOAT then Mao Asada is ahead of Michelle Kwan in this conversation. talk to the hand if you disagree.

and one more thing. a lot of fs fans who root for japanese skaters are in fact from the global south. and we don't cheer for american wins because we are sick and tired of american propaganda. american propaganda has bled into our lives and our politics for decades and it's done nothing good.

so fstwt has swung back to "if you like Japanese skaters you're a weeb" but Japanese skaters legitimately have the best skating skills and the best ice coverage and knees because of how figure skating is taught and trained in Japan.

awesome difficult entry into camel spin!

ALSO ALSO. i find the disk horse about what ilia said about it's not olympic champions who're remembered so funny because he's clearly talking about the american ones lmaoooo what shade at natty and liesachick

ALSO. just as i don't want to see an eteri skater on the podium. i don't want to see a hamada skater on it either. Mone's skate deserved to be on the podium but could we please remember the tradition of abuse and injury she brings? Satton, Rika. Marin.

and while Ami has some of the charm Alysa has, i am quite happy not to have a fresh out of juniors ultra C element girlie as Olympic champion tbh. and i don't want her PCS shoved up either. she absolutely deserved higher than 9th in the free though.

*In PE Alysa truly shines, i mean. she does, Mone has a ways to go before catching up with that and honestly she may never because her skates don't feel authentic to me. might be my hamada hatred bleeding into my emotional response though

also people going 'US didn't even have a judge on the panel!' makes me laugh because horsetrading is the REAL Olympic sport that goes on under the name 'figure skating'

nah Alysa still should be behind Mone in SS and CO. In PE where she truly shines. her jump GOEs shouldn't be as high as they are. her stsq GOE should be way lower because her ice coverage is extremely low while Mone's is amazing. while i prefer Mone's spins, Alysa fully deserves her spin GOEs.

while here i am having mathed my sourdough wrong AGAIN

anyway one more reason why yuzuru is GOAT is because he could math under pressure. the times he has completely redone his second half layout mid-skate to maximise points after he lost a combo or jump...

funny how i haven't seen a single person even mention Dick Button in the GOAT conversation this cycle when you simply could not move ten tweets without seeing the name a few years ago, when they wanted to say Yuzu wasn't the GOAT

so funny to see some people 'you can be GOAT without an Olympic medal' now when they went 'okay but' after Yuzuru got his SECOND (of THREE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS). Americans literally heard of Dick Button for the first time in the run-up to 2018 calling him GOAT because Yuzu had only one at that point

i wish i could be happy for alysa because good skater, good bean, good story. but no alysa is not as close to kaori or even mone as those scores suggest. even with a missed combo for kaori. even with that. it's impossible to really like even the most likeable us skater because of usfs.

fstwt is the pit, truly. rn japanese skaters are just getting randomly attacked and there are ss going around of Kao following trump and takaichi sanae, and i followed kao to see if it's true and it's not.

I hate JSF and Japanese judge about as much as I hate americans.

Kaori should have won, and I hate Americans.

usfs truly destroys all possibility of enjoying american skaters even when they're good. completely.

i hate figure skating

the more i read of jun's interviews about the state of his ankle the more i'm very what the floop

*sigh* i'm going back to pretending football does not exist btw

adelia's practice notes are giving 2022 anna scherbakova and i hope it's not gonna go the same way because nothing against adelia personally but i do not want an eteri girl on the podium. i want my queen and princesses on the podium. if that means everybody else must flop then that's what i want.

Sui/Han not in gala lol that better be their choice and not the organisers'....

okay you know something that kinda annoyed about the coverage on olympic channel at least. after both alysa's and amber's skates, they panned to audience to show people cheering. but almost nobody else. it gave the impression that the crowd was on for them and not others.

actual gala invitee list is out and it's grassl instead of matteo come on man

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

i haven't said much about isabeau's score because i just don't like her style but the girl can skate. she's a really good skater. terrible jumper and i really don't like her choreo or upper body/arms (personal preference, i don't like loena's either) but girl has blade skills.

golden waltz for ice dance next season, they're doing this so the current top teams (most of whom truly suck) retire lmao

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Queen Kaori, Princess Mone and Baby Princess Ami

Queen Kaori! #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

so funny how adelia gets that score with almost zero international experience hmmmm

alysa's combo got the same call as kaori's and mone's. adelia's jumps got no calls. alysa has no edge call. isu doing this stuff is why i find it very hard to sympathise with us skaters even when they're good people.

does anybody know where to find planned program content now? it used to be under media on isu's website

anyway fuck eteri and fuck hamada and fuck daniil

very funny, the lack of calls in adelia's protocol when we all know kaori and mone rotated more of their jumps in the air

kaori's and alysa's combos were not rotated the same lol but they got the same q

wow little ami hit every level four too

i would have scored mone higher than alysa.

damn maddie didn't make the free swap her with the israeli skater

hamada bugger off back to hell

mone's spins truly are lovely she's grown into this programme i wanna see that combo though
