Lanvin

with all this mess I wish yuzu the best but for my sanity's sake I don't think I'll watch. I hope he does well, but I'm tired. this olympics has been awful.

I really hope Yuzu skates lights out and burns the arena down and the rest of skating is the worst comp ever. ISU deserves to be embarrassed and have egg on their face. I also hope this is the last time FS in in the olympics. I'm so angry rn. The men's comp fueled me with rage but this mess of making Kami a sacrificial lamb,  when everybody knew what Eteri and her minions were doing and they just looked the other way until those Wada tests came back. All of these federations and officials are trash. Throw it out in 2026. 

and once again the girls are sacrificial lambs. Eteri better not escape punishment

uh oh it's bad:

Eteri flew a little too close to the sun. About time they got her but I feel bad that it's at the expense of the girls ....again...

lol I'm going to laugh if this controversy is vote trading + doping and they have to remove the judges and start the sp all over.wishful thinking but anything can happen.

Why everything in Beijing is so cursed. My bold prediction: men's FS will be splatfest too. 

Let's goooooooooo reverse rankings 

ruh roh:

I wanted chaos and mess, looks like I might get it.

doping or covid? 

umm so something happened in the TE cuz things are getting serious. It wasn't the speed skating:

none of the Russians were in practice too????

but why did I see someone say that the initial info was based from some Russian journalist on telegram.....hmmmm and the Russians aren't even in the speed skating drama...

I shouldn't laugh this hard lol You're really chaotic evil reincarnate cuz that was truly a splat fest. 

in all honesty like I'm tired of FS. it's so boring that I use it as background noise.  You have ID teams that can't skate getting top marks. Pairs teams that can't skate either and are barely managing to life their partners or keep from bashing their skulls on the ice. Idk wtf I'm watching in women but I know that I'll see a different jumping bean win every year with the same uninspired choreo and miming courtesy of  Dany G. & Co. The men have always been shit, but this is a special kind of drivel topped with whatever usfsa thinks reviving that lame ass Goebel/Weiss/Stojko

combo is a good idea to revive ratings. It can all go to hell. The only media FS has is based on some dude that tweets out protocols and two blithering idiots with stale takes from the 80s on YouTube. why would the average person wanna watch this Mickey Mouse bs? I hope it's the worst men's Free skate comp of all time. I hope it's slippery. I hope there's pops, falls, and the like.  I hope it's so bad that in the future nobody remembers the damn Beijing results.  I hope yuzu gets his moment and it's the one that sticks in history. everybody else can bite it on hard ice. 

eh FS was getting boring anyway and tbh I only watched for him. Hope usfsa is able to cash in on NC's win bc nobody has been buying SOI tickets since the Kwan era.It's all so boring nowadays but welp I'm finally free to enjoy something else. I do wish for an extremely chaotic, mess of a free for everybody else and I hope it's worse than sochi  

the TE was a dumb idea in the first place and even dumber to have it during a pandemic especially as I saw one of the Canadian athletes cross into the usa bench to show C/B something on her phone after their FD skate. I do not understand why ppl wanted him to compete in that super spreader mess in the first place.

we got some days before the fs anyway. I'm not gonna panic and he most likely has a contingency plan. he may be stubborn but idk the man won two oly golds with that type of headstrong/yolo attitude. choreographed 4 (insert jump bc I don't remember and I am really tired) fall was a meme for a year until it wasn't....  I don't even know why I'm calm about this considering I have diagnosed anxiety but it may just be lack of sleep. tl;dr he just got here and he knows *things* we'll see what happens  

this is tbh the best thing nbc has done since it got olympic coverage ngl

didn't realize (for those that have peacock) that on the little icon for the men's practice yuzu is featured w/Nathan lol. 

Nathan's sp was zzzzzzzzz. can't believe they threw pcs candies at that but whatever business as usual.

there's starting to become something of an eteri backlash and I kinda wonder if at this point Mishin has called up the Russian Fed saying " I told you so" .Anna is doing that thing that Eteri girls do around the 3rd year...unfortunately it just happens to be around the olympics and not after. If she performs like this at Beijing, she has no business on the podium. I don't have a dog in this fight, but Tuk deserves the nod if she can't pull it together in the FS.

oh hey they did something right actually:

They didn't call Vincent's urs and most likely bc they want him to go. ppl have been yelling at Jason to get a quad(s) for years and now this would be used as an excuse to exclude him.  calling it now: Nathan Illia Vincent. why did I even watch this mess anyway. 

(I am probably gonna eat my words bc him getting gold would be the most obvious bet.....) BUT ...I'm not entirely convinced cuz his jumps have been looking a lil rough the past couple of months.....idk if it's the hip injury in combo with using those stiff knees but I still don't find him invincible regardless of these junk scores. They were gonna give him candies regardless.  

are they threatening the skaters with punishment if they don't attend this farce or something??? like why make Jason drive 300 miles when he's already a lock for the team. 

this competition is so cursed and tbh they really should have just canceled it. we already have an idea of who is going to be on the team. this could've been an email. People already getting Covid at the site. Knierem/Frazier train at Raf's place. If we end up with no national team, the blame rests with usfsa for being stupid. lol @ having this In Tennessee anyway. As a former Tennessean with friends living there, I can assure you about a good chunk of the state does not care about wearing masks or covid at all. The fact that athletes were eating at the lounge of the hotel where patrons had no masks on.....good luck to everyone involved. this is not gonna end well.

A/n: oops didn't see that Turqoiseblue already had Brennan's tidbit on that
