  1. Both Javi and Nathan belong to IMG and have SOI shows together soon again. And the Olympic Channel is a US channel.
  2. It seems news around the world are just translations of different parts of the Korean article. What is journalism
  3. Since it’s not a collision, Bell might be too concentrated to even realize her blade cut someone. When I skate, sometimes my blade feels a bit odd, but I was going too fast to look back and check what happened, so I just shake it off. It also seems like Lim left before Bell’s run-through ended.
  4. I wonder if Lim or her parents have ever spoken to Bell or the coaching team directly about any of their concerns up front. Or did Lim’s side just keep silent about everything and suddenly drop an article accusing Bell, leaving everyone confused. We’ll probably never find out, adding to the collection of FS mysteries. When skaters do their run throughs, they tend to be quite concentrated, especially before going into a jump. At least that’s the case at my rink.
  5. Korean fans are too passionate sigh. The things they say to Mariah on social media are out of control. I hope she gets a body guard, cuz people threaten to kill her. She’ll probably end up like Adelina, who’s hated till this day. From those comments, it seems like a lot of them don’t really know much about figure skating though.
  6. Because of money? medal potential? strong connection? Service providers don’t need to love all their clients.
  7. Lim did get a cut, so she is a victim nonetheless; she’s also only 16, it’s her first worlds, she’s nervous and inexperienced, and all her decisions are made by adults. Why wouldn’t people want to work with her? Even if things turn out to be false, they can explain that it’s a misunderstanding due to cultural differences and language barriers.
  8. Guess this will be the newspaper front page for tomorrow instead of KuyashiiZu or BlankZu.
  9. They didn’t show pictures of the actual collision though. That twitter acoount is created just for this world championship? This whole twitter drama seems to be staged and planned. Why can’t the agency wait till after the competition? To get more attention? And it seems that a lot of fanyus are affected by this also. I hope the men’s competition won’t be affected.
  10. This is a New York Times article back in 2009 that mentioned Yuna Kim’s warm up incident. Wonder how the media will approach the issue this time. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/sports/othersports/27skate.html “At Four Continents, when she suggested that Japanese skaters intentionally stymied her warm-ups, her fans rallied to her defense. The Japan Skating Federation said there was no intentional obstruction. But Kim’s compatriots steamed.” Yuna took gold and Mao took bronze in that competition.
