Tissue box

Tissue box (2/67)

  1. I filled it a few days ago. Shared my opinions and gave some advice But tbh, I don't think it'll change anything. Are they really so dumb that they didn't realize that fans aren't exactly happy with them? If that's the case then maybe it will actually help :-P I suppose they'll just ignore our answers. Unless they got so many it'll be difficult to ignore. (And who am I kidding... if there is something they are good at, it's ignorance). Anyway, at leas they won't be able to say we didn't offer our insight.
  2. I remember the drama as well, I didn't like the outcome and hoped that despite his age Plush somehow will manage to show off in Sochi. And we all know who showed off back then. Can't say it was a disappointment though.
  3. Really seems like 2017 all over again. Hopefully the outcome will be similar and maybe because of that it will taste even better. Of course it’s disappointing and the situation isn’t an easy one but once the initial anger is over there is no point in wringing hands in despair, it won’t help. He said earlier „step by step”. Seems like that theme is even more valid now. An athlete as experienced as him takes their steps wisely. Let’s hope there will be enough time for all the steps needed and no more hardships along the way. Step by step. Step by step. Until one of those steps is 4A
  4. Wow, your lists are rather... educational (and sadly also surprising). The change of the judging system from 6.0 was indisputably a good move. But it rally needs an update (new technologies, AI, maybe also more specific rules that actually will be followed). As well as the "judge control system" and fast reactions from ISU when something "weird" occurs and real punishments when this "weird thing" is proven to be bias. Maybe one day.
  5. H/D about their final season and C/B about their FD https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/10/24/ice-dance-hubbell-donohue-chock-bates-skate-america/
  6. I totally agree! A costume is something you wear for a performance, not when you go to buy croissants in the local bakery in the morning. It should relate to the choreography, character etc. And that should never be forgotten. Undoubtedly in figure skating from time to time we see athletes wearing something… disputable (I don’t think I’ll ever forget Domnina and Shabalin and their „Aboriginal” costumes from Vancouver) but I would never consider any of Yuzuru’s costumes fitting into this „category”. I saw people being surprised by Yuzuru’s costumes, sometimes even a bit put off by them, but I don’t think he is the first one to cause that reaction. I would say that Johnny Weir’s SP costume from OWG 2010 was more „shocking” at least to my friends that watch figure skating only when I tell them to do so. Of course it’s a bonus when a skater has their own style in costumes. In a way I can say that Nathan has his own style too, although it’s a rather boring one ;- ) but tbh if he wore something more „creative” I would feel almost like he is cheating (and I even like his last FP shirt, but I suppose after the „scrambled eggs one” everything is an upgrade). Also, not everyone would look as good as Yuzuru in that kind of costumes that he often wears. Skaters have different body types and that should be considered too. Why would you wear a swan costume if you don’t look gracefully enough in it? Not a lot of men would be able to pull off that look! I think we just should be happy that there is someone that can do it in a very aesthetically pleasing way ;-)
  7. In the GP series she might get to the podium without 3A but Olympics? I don't think so... Maybe she wants to medal in Beijing and her attitude in this regard is "all or nothing"? But you are probably right that she has lots to lose especially that her results must be good enough to go to the OWG in the first place.
