sometimes i wake up two hours before my alarm and think “sweet, i get to go back to sleep.” not the case tonight. i’m embarrassed to say i feel borderline physically nauseous about thursday. maybe it will be fine, but until it’s over I think I’ll feel a bit ill

over the next few days we are doing everything in our power to manifest an Alysa Liu gold medal skate. we are leaving our cakes out in the rain. we are getting the recipes again. we are drinking the wine while it's warm. we must be MacArthur-maxxxing 24/7

can someone on figure skating sky @ me after petrosian’s skate on thursday to tell me if she was clean so i can risk watching the final 4

trying to recover from one tough sporting event by watching the baseball team take on jacksonville? on the road? daring of me, i know.

at least she got to do that beautiful triple axel

alright well that sucked, but I do want to say I have been an ami nakai OGM truther every since GP France and I’d be devastated for Kaori but also my heart would just burst for her to win

between ilia and amber… i’m just gonna stare into the void.

keep the podium exactly as it is and i’ll survive this event

shit i’m dead inside

the way i’m rooting for every remaining woman in this event to go clean as a whistle

that was a program. it was skated. it was fine

please mother madonna let amber glenn land the triple axel, and if we’re lucky, let her go clean

ashley’s looked like a million bucks all olympics but this blue dress and the hair, god damn 🔥🔥🔥

wishing i could just chill with the first group of this women’s short but 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

I know it probably annoys some people how telegraphed Amber’s 3A is but it’s just my favorite one. I actually love the build up and the way it’s such a moment right in the center of the rink

that is….. a very long list of jumps

kaori and amber really came out in full costume and they look like a million dollars, my god. women, what a concept

well kaori just did a perfectly clean non-marked short program in the morning warm up

just obsessed with amber’s styling for her short program. every bit of it. perfection

the people arguing about the 2028 primary when no candidates have even announced yet need to find a sport to follow and put this weird energy into

pain

I’m trying to understand the emotions from rika miura. she looks so sad 😭

i’ll die on the hill that they should have brought back their four seasons free

rikuryu are going to win gold

my god i’m stressed

miniki plz keep it together

oof I feel for trent and lia

I knew they had more points to find in that free skate after the team event!

I haven’t seen them skate a ton but that’s the best I’ve ever seen them

hase volodin are gonna have to be CLEAN

WOW WOW WOW

RIKURYU HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

wow what a skate from sui and han. I’ve had frustrations feeling like they’ve been propped up a bit this season but all the respect in the world for coming out and doing that, good for them

well. at least we’ll always have the team event. 💔

this free skate concept for emily and spencer was just…. a bizarre choice

the definition of nasty work. but of all candidates, I think AOC has the ability to flip stuff like this. she has a way of extrapolating how she is talked about to how marginalized groups are treated in general, and this stuff just fuels “corruption of the elites” talking points

aww the feelings. I hope she can feel good about that skate.

oof. it’s over for the canadians before the program even really starts

great stuff. there are so many out queer athletes now who are sharing their stories publicly, and projecting on or joking about athletes who are straight or potentially just not out gives me such an ick.

2028 really feels like it could be ‘08 part 2

is there a better sequence of images to sum up the 2026 olympic games

woke up to see a funny video of isabeau talking about how much fun she’s been having at the olympics posted by nbcbayarea on instagram and the comments are actually horrifying. do we just not moderate anything anymore? the fuck is wrong with people?

on friday I was a strong believer that ilia should set his skates aside for a while and decompress, but now he’s doing the gala, planning to attend worlds, and I believe was on the practice rink today? doing the quad axel so lol lmao what do I know

“bless that zam and send it out onto the ice” oh my god the daily runthrough reactions have been keeping me going throughout this mess

Internet trolls: Figure skating is a fake sport and it should be removed from the Olympics Figure skating fans: ..... Let him cook

how I feel about experiencing olympic figure skating as a converted sicko fan over the last year and change with 1.5 events to go: I hate the olympics and I can’t wait to return to the cocoon of normal ISU events. get me out of here

what a chaotic pairs short program. but also… largely well skated!

hase volodin!! wow! we pretend we do not see the step sequence bobble

the “will any world champ (and gpf champ) win gold at the olympics” question… continues
