A quad without seeing Eteri Girl Style was so refreshing, and seeing it again now is like your sleep paralysis demon creeping up on you in the grocery store. Don’t like it.

While everyone is still thinking about men’s skating, here’s the best short program of the year that unfortunately wasn’t at the Olympics. Kazuki Tomono’s That’s It (I’m Crazy!) is a masterpiece of fun and artistry. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

okay just one more thing before i shut up about figure skating for the night! if you only know ilia malinin as the quad god, i invite you to watch this stunning (self-choreographed) tribute program he skated in honor of the plane crash victims at worlds last year www.reddit.com/r/IliaQuadg0...

My body one day before I travel to Olys: what about some random nausea and body aches

THE MISSION: A permanent, year-round ice rink in central PDX ⛸️ THE PETITION: www.change.org/p/save-the-l...

Olympics Check-in is up, with nothing from more recently than Tuesday because having my earlier work blow up anonymously got me woefully behind. The newsletter is free so please subscribe and tell your friends! ⛸️

Latvian luge athlete Ulla Zirne with a very pointed post just minutes ago. This comes in the wake of the IOC banning the Ukrainian skeleton athlete for his helmet depicting athletes and coaches from his country killed in the war with Russia. Zirne competing in Sochi and Pyeongchang.

I sincerely hope every team currently training at IAM or thinking about joining them is taking this day to reflect on their choices. Them dropping Bock and Lilah and Lewis like hot potatoes for FBC after building them up the entire quad, yeah this could be you.

What an awful message the sport of figure skating just sent to sexual abuse survivors and victims, and parents who want their children to participate in a safe sport. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Spineless organizations

Because of the response from the figure skating community, I've decided to release Yuma's special figure skating edit of my completion of Turandot on streaming services.This is the music that he's skating to on Friday at the Winter Olympics in the Men's Singles Figure Skating Finals!

Justice for Gabriella Papadakis and for everyone harmed by Laurence's boyfriend. Believe survivors. And fuck these two forever.

I hate ice dance

Brendan Fraser is a sexual assault survivor, so it is extra gross for the rape culture team to be skating to the soundtrack of one of his movies #FigureSkating #MilanoCortina2026 www.vox.com/identities/2...

Shout-out to these people!!! #MilanoCortina2026

For @defector.com, I wrote about the dark backstory behind France’s viral ice dancing team — which currently is in first place and could win gold. Gift link:

Since November, Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry have been the world's best in ice dance. They may win Olympic gold Meanwhile Cizeron is accused of coercive behaviour, & Fournier Beaudry's ex-partner is suspended amid sex assault allegations www.bbc.com/sport/articl...

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

I'll find you, that's a promise

Jokerlympics cancelled, another loss for smoker's rights 💔 #MilanoCortina2026

new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back www.vg.no/sport/i/vr5g...

Men will literally win an Olympic medal instead of going to therapy

For any casual fans following the #Miniongate Tomas Guarino Sabaté is skating in first group at 18:57 local time, so in about 20 minutes!! #MilanoCortina2026

BREAKING Canadian pairs team Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps are coming to the Olympics. They leave Canada tomorrow. Their Olympic dream was in doubt after Deanna hit her head in a training accident. But she has been medically cleared to compete at the Winter Games.

Glad that media outside of figure skating is writing about this #MilanoCortina2026 defector.com/frances-vira...

Mentally, I'm still here. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

When does the JGP begin, I'm so bored of senior ice dance #MilanoCortina2026

Emilea Zingas is just THAT girl #MilanoCortina2026

Bonus points for Olivia and Tim for using an exciting curve lift instead of a boring RoLi!!! #MilanoCortina2026

AI slop AND Thunderstruck blergh #MilanoCortina2026

The bane of my existence #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.

Well fuck. Rape apology is fine with the Olympics I guess. So is mentally abusing your partner. Suppose I shouldn’t be surprised since they were fine with showcasing child abuse in ‘22.

OMG terry gannon giving the full rundown on laurence and guillaume. i'm impressed #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

BELIEVE SURVIVORS! #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry are rape apologists #MilanoCortina2026

This moment will sustain me for WEEKS. #Olympics #MilanoCortina2026 #Figureskating

Of all the reasons to ask for an extension on an assignment, this is a pretty good one. Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas posts her email to her prof, asking for an extension. Because she’s competing at the Olympics. Attached the press release for proof of participation.

Watching the team event replay while eating pasta salad and it's not even 10am yet, I love the Winter Olympics

me to all my friends this week:

A HOUSE DIVIDED - @thekenchilds.com told us about a married couple who is competing against EACH OTHER in the women’s skeleton.

i'm fucking dying

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it. “There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

How dare you, Spelling Bee 😉🤣 cc @rockerskating.com #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating
