It's not too late for the ISU to give Wakaba Higuchi one of the two AIN spots. Would it be fair? No. Has the rest of Wakaba's career been fair? Also no.

It is very hard to maintain interest in figure skating when some skaters are ludicrously, bafflingly overscored. Like, what is even the point?

I’m still 🤯 about what they did with Guignard/Fabbri’s GOEs and components the last two days #GPFRA #GPFigure

Respect to Gabi for not letting her experience go quietly into the night

This hero held up her TRUST SURVIVOR sign from FB/C skating in to results. Bet the tv camera that loves audience faces didn't include her in the broadcast! #GPFRA #GPFIGURE

I'm heartbroken for the Italians. Won't sleep well tonight thinking that for their last Olympic those are the points. Despicable

The RD results today…. 😧. I admit I adored F/G! The Italians scores though just did not make any sense to me today…. #gpfra #gpfigure

Wakaba has withdrawn from next week's Trialeti Trophy in Georgia (she's no longer in the list of entries)😦 I hope she's OK... 🥺 #WakabaHiguchi #樋口新葉 ⛸️ isu-skating.com/figure-skati...

A Drawing A Day for October, day 2: Kaori Sakamoto and Wakaba Higuchi I don’t normally draw a lot of figure skating things but portraits with hands are my bread and butter, I saw the reference photo and I HAD TO

On a serious note, I'm relieved and glad that Rika is able to skate at all. Thinking of her untapped potential in singles will forever break my heart.

I'm happy and sad at the same time 🥲

They've lost the 9yos

What I wouldn’t give for the ISU just to have their own paid streaming service for all the comps. We shouldn’t have to hunt for figure skating.

Who is going to tell the #ISU to stop using the overhead camera angle during competitions??? You can't see any details in footwork. I hate it. #figureskating

Eteri bonus alive and well 😑⛸️

Wakaba, oh no, is she injured? Or sick? 😢 Something was clearly wrong at the end of her free skate, it was a LONG time before she could stand up, and then she looked like she was trying not to throw up. No kiss & cry after she left the ice. Very worrying 🥺 #樋口新葉 #WakabaHiguchi ⛸️

*a meeting about making figure skating popular again* Person 1: what if we make it more accessible to people who aren’t rich and living in certain geographic areas Person 2: lol no that’s impossible, let’s make backflips legal

Haven’t watched it, but I’m going to call shenanigans anyway.

it's always so satisfying to watch his jumps #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦

Wakaba's instagram story... Presumably this means she is withdrawing from the Tokyo Summer Figure Skating Championships, August 23-24... #WakabaHiguchi #樋口新葉 #FigureSkating ⛸️

As great as it is that the extra spot gets to go to another country (utamasa I beg), pirihara is so genuinely entertaining (to me!) that I can't help seeing it as a loss 😞

Stunning ina bauer 🩵 he performs it with such smoothness that it feels as if time slows down 🥺 #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦 #TheFirstSkate

It's actually not. This method just hides it. If you go to about:config and search browser.ml.chat.enabled the value will still show "true" meaning it's on even though you can't see it. Change that to "false". *Then* it's off.

You know what? I'm not above some occasional engagement bait. 1 like = 1 figure skating opinion

JSF has announced Japan's planned entries for this season's Challenger competitions... Wakaba is assigned to Kinoshita Cup, and Trialeti Trophy in Georgia 🤔 mainichi.jp/articles/202... #WakabaHiguchi #樋口新葉 #FigureSkating ⛸️

when a company announces they're going to start using Al in their products all I hear is "our stuff is about to get noticeably shittier, but you should be excited because it'll be cheaper for us"

Firefox extension for those who are interested.

I am so fed up with X finally made up my mind to move here .. Great to see some ancient Fanyus here 👌

Ngl, it’s going to be hard to remain interested in watching once Waka and Kaori are gone. While there will still be so many talented women competing, these are MY GIRLS and it won’t be nearly the same without them🥲⛸️

When Wakaba retires after this season, I will have no reason to go to any more FS ⛸️ events, with their corrupt judges & BS scores 💀 The one thing that would bring me back? Consistent, impartial & accountable AI judging... that auto-generates reports justifying its every decision wrt the rules...

Not unexpected... but still.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭

“Dear SPUR readers, Hello, I’m Hanyu Yuzuru. For the August issue, I had a photoshoot dressed in GUCCI. Please have a look!” #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦

I feel like it’s hard to have discussions on AI because very reasonable positions are being treated like they’re saying “all AI bad, good AI impossible.” But we cannot have a reasonable discussion of AI without talking about who is making it and how.

Those good old memories 🥺✨ Thank you TCC for sharing 🫶❤️ #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦

So next season Kaori will be skating to "Time to Say Goodbye" and Wakaba will be skating to "My Way" and I will be dissolving into a puddle of tears

What a jump 🫠 #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦 #AQUA_YUZU

#GPFigure 2025-26 assignments as of 6 June 2025

Wakaba is not assigned to a Grand Prix event in Europe...

A reminder to boycott Fantasy on Ice ⛸️

I believe that this is real figure skating ⛸️ ✨ with every element having a purpose and done to perfection (not that ice jumping-flailing arms-ice skating-back flip shit)… youtu.be/tnnisJooTxw?... Cr: #YuzuruHanyu𓃵 #DannyBoy x.com/yuzuruoffici...
