Context is important here. Saying American skaters have a strong fed backing isn't racist because, well first, being American isn't a race, and that is just a fact supported with large amounts of data. But saying that Chinese American skaters get special treatment because of their ethnicity isn't backed by any facts, and in fact flies in the face of how many Asian-Americans and other minorities are treated in sport and media in the US. So for someone like Max who has no experience being Asian or Asian-American (or even American) to make these claims without any facts, is at best very racially insensitive, even if his intentions aren't racist. I mean saying "N and A are being overscored because they have Chinese ancestry" when the majority of skaters who are overscored are not of Chinese ancestry is, well, is exhibiting a lot of subconscious racial bias. If the Olympics were held in Europe and Nathan were White, would Ambeesi's mind ever jump to such a conclusion? Also keep in mind Max didn't say "It would be cool if the US used Nathan and Alysa's background as a marketing point for Beijing 2022," he said "They are probably overscored because they are Chinese-American and the Olympics are in Beijing." There's a difference between the two; one is a celebration of their ethnicity and the other is an accusation of special treatment.

I don't think this is how it works. IMO the Olympics being in Beijing has nothing to do with the inflation at all. It would be the same if the next Olympics were held on Mars. I also don't see how the olympics being in beijing and Nathan being Chinese-American would be bigger $$$ in the United States than if Nathan were White or any other race. In fact, the $$ would be much more if he were a photogenic ice princess like Gracie Gold for sure. Anyway saying Nathan and Alysa get candies because they're Chinese-descent is pretty racist, even if I agree with them on other things.

Well, apparently 30 seconds of actual program time was too long for them, I doubt they'd accept 5 minutes to the k+c. Or maybe they could play more ads during broadcasts?

SOoo cute

Yeah I'm not clicking an r/figureskating link

I think there will be BVs assigned to quints soon.

What about quints?

sorry i miscounted ;;

Will Yuzu ever go for a 4F?

Lol you are the 4Lo expert

He had a 4Lo during olympic year. So Shoma has landed 5 4 different quads as well.

Nathan landed a 4Lo in competition?

I can't help but think Yuzu might have felt for the first time since joining TCC that he had a coach who cared about him above all else and anyone else and that must be a great feeling, so I am not surprised that he became so attached to Ghislain so fast.

JSF only submitted the name, but clearly Yuzu gave them the name I think.

Yuzu and Nate's quad to 3A ratio versus the rest

holy sh*t

Thank you

A nice article about Ghislain Briand. It's in French but you can google translate (translation is quite good). https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2019/12/07/larchitecte-dun-monument-japonais

There's no direct flight between torino and nyc either, and nyc is a busier city than toronto.
