I find it interesting that thing Kwan gets the most praise for, she also gets the most stick for. She was consistent, and rarely deviated from her mean. I remember Frank mentioning in his interview with TSL Michelle had the best body awareness of any student he'd coached, and that wasn't just a...

Honestly I thought of this. It's incredibly inappropriate and could even be considered sexual assault. It's creepy as hell and NOT normal by any means. Also LOLing at whoever in this post needed "more info" on what Jessica did. I've served in the military where people literally do dangerous...

The bizarre lack of self awareness and creepiness certain posters possess is...disconcerting to say the least.

I don’t know the internal workings of Eteri’s methods or any coaches. But to me, it seems in recent years the sudden technical “revolution” in ladies skating isn’t a revolution at all. The female prepubescent body is capable of egregiously difficult jumps? Shocking. We’ve known this for decades...

Pairs skating has a deep, deep problem, and Dalilah, whether she’s guilty of these accusations or not, proved the kind of person she was with her behavior at Nats last year. As for Brennan, I’ve rolled my eyes at some of her recent work but I do hope she looks into this.

The absolute shade of this still makes me laugh, and I always thought Tara was unfairly maligned. What was the USOC's rationale for having the ladies silver medalist do this? Just because Kwan was better liked or what?

Yeah, a lot of people could’ve won worlds had things gone differently for them.

Christine Brennan linking systemic sexual abuse in figure skating to a bitchy (not to mention poorly done) sketch done by a gay guy and a straight woman is an embarrassing reach. That being said, it sounds entirely unfunny. Laughing at figure skating with the intent to poke fun at its quirks...

USFS really needs to sit down with skaters, especially female ones, and let them know the reality of what this sport does to their hips. I only recreationally skate but I’m a runner and I’ve been dealing with a torn labrum and trying to avoid surgery. It’s seriously painful. I honestly feel like...

Ding, ding, ding.

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to a glass (or two) of wine this Friday and watching all these!

Hey y’all. I haven’t really paid attention to skating in the last few years. I tuned into the Olympics but nothing else since 2016 Worlds. What are some of the must-see programs from any of the disciplines I should check out?

A quick google search reveals that its apparently well-known Oliver Stone has an unsettling thing for Asian women. Wouldn't be surprised if he made a pass at Michelle and she's been doing her feminist duties and exposing his proclivities for years. :lol:

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/i4unyh/comedy-central-presents-baby-safety Not Amy's funniest bit (somewhat racist), and I'm wondering how much is true, but I can actually see MK making small talk by talking about ice time.

I think it is probable that Dylan is telling the truth. It's possible she isn't. I hate the treatment that alleged survivors of incest/rape often receive by the media, especially when the perpetrator is a famous, beloved individual. Wade Robson's recent allegations against Michael Jackson...
