My kid’s math tutor skated with DS-D when they were teenagers.

This was so great but I do miss B/K so much. :(

Deanna Stellato-Dudek: 2000 Junior World Silver Medalist → 2024 World Champion

At the age of 40, Deanna Stellato-Dudek is the oldest woman to win a World Championships title in figure skating, with her pairs partner Maxime Deschamps for Canada. Deanna Stellato was the 1999 Junior Grand Prix Final Champion and 2000 Junior World Silver Medalist in the women's singles discipline. She retired from competitive skating in 2001, and returned as a pairs skater in 2016.

40 years is the new 20. That's what I'd like to say. [This record is] not something that I ever set out to do when I came back to skating, but I knew that if I were to accomplish my dreams, it would inevitably occur, because I'm the oldest everywhere. But it's something I carry with pride, and I'm very proud of it. I hope a lot of athletes stay around a lot longer. I hope it encourages people to not stop before they reach their potential. And I hope it transcends into other areas, not just in sports, but also in other areas of life [...] [My 15-year-old self] would say, why did we stop? We're still skating, you know, 25 years later? I think my younger self would think I'm crazy, so she wouldn't think much of it at all. And she wanted to win the 2006 Olympics [...]

Had a nightmare that I had to spend an entire day with Nikita Katsalapov.

Happy Birthday, Denis. 

You should still be here. The world isn’t as bright without you.

Yagudin on Hanyu fans

On social networks, you are actively arguing with Japanese fans of Yuzuru Hanyu. What happened?

Alexei Yagudin: Probably, this is a continuation of the story with Sasha Trusova, when I just shared my thoughts, and fans reacted sharply. And I did the same in the case of Ilia Malinin, when I said that this is the first clean quadruple Axel performed.

Let’s take music. There are only seven notes, it’s hard to come up with something new. But no, new hits are constantly being created. So in the case of Malinin, we have a new hit. Let’s see what will happen next. It’s one thing to be the king of training, and another thing is to show in competitions.

We see on social networks that Malinin has become the king of trainings. Even 4-4 combination alone worths a lot! Probably, Panin-Kolomenkin turned over in his place. And about the quadruple axel, Alexei Nikolaevich Mishin said that no one would do this jump cleanly in his lifetime. And here, please, here it is!

As for fans, loving and imitating something or someone causes shifts in the head (whistling, imitating the wind).

Hanyu’s fans are impossible to understand and it’s useless to talk to them. Popular skaters have furious fan clubs – “nothing exists for us except for Hanyu”, “nothing exists for us except for Trusova”, “neither Valieva, nor Shcherbakova, nor Medvedeva exists”, and so on. These are clans in social networks.

And I love talking to people like that! They talk about Yuzuru, and I answer them: “Who is this?” (smiles). And in all seriousness they begin to talk about him. Then they write hieroglyphs, in response I simply type a set of letters. They write to me, and I ask again: “Kazuko Tanaka?”. They are something “blah blah blah” and at the end “Yuzuru Hanyu”. Sometimes, just in response to them, I copy the text from the English Wikipedia about the life of an ant. Because it is useless to talk to them.

But I will not back down from my words about Malinin. I think that I said absolutely correctly, without diminishing the importance of the athlete’s achievements.

Umm excuse me WHAT?

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

I miss my ice dance babies.

Alexandra Stepanova: And it doesn't matter at all what's his orientation. [...] For me it generally never matters in a person because for me the person is what's the most important.

Highly recommend the whole video, she made me so happy:

2022 World Championships Medalists - Women

🥇 Kaori Sakamoto JPN 🥈 Loena Hendrickx BEL 🥉 Alysa Liu USA

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

I was there last weekend and Russian mustard was back!

Wow I'm sure this will help

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

I am SO tickled. This was such a joy to watch. Quite the departure from Beijing, certainly... for many reasons but this felt pure in a really cleansing kind of way. 

😭😭😭😭😭

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

I’m not mad about this at all. Top four were all so great. 

my booooyyyyy <3

Kaori Sakamoto (JPN) reacts to her personal best short program score of 80.32 at the 2022 World Championships

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

It is so upsetting to think I’ll never get to return to Moscow. And it’s so upsetting to see how fast people in my country have returned to Cold War status language.

It’s okay to hate a political leader. It’s okay to hate a political party or an ideology. It is not okay to place hatred on an entire people because of the actions of their government, no matter how heinous.

I’m disappointed that I won’t see my ice dance babies and pairs at Worlds this year and hope that someday… my bff and I will get to take the trip back that we meant to take in 2020.

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

Bringing this back because I must.

I admire one man only lmao

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

“I want to say good luck, I hope that she can skate well and looking forward to watching.”

Reporter: Just for Sasha? 

“Yeah just Sasha”

Reporter: What about the rest of the girls? Anna and Kamila?

“Yeah, I mean, I’m friends with Sasha so.....looking forward to watching her” *proceeds to walk away* 

This is about as shady as Nathan Chen gets and it’s fucking fabulous. 

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

This all made me unbelievably sad. The fierceness of sport, the mental and emotional capacity expected from children came to such a distressing head.

I cling to Kaori’s smile and Alysa’s glee. And I hope more than anything that Anna, Sasha and Kamila are going to be okay.

[fuckyeahrussianoverlords]

Look how happy Kaori is! 💕💕💕
