I will admit: I'm not a huge fan of figure skating as a sport. I do like it, just kind of on a more superficial level? I love the artistry, the dresses, the skates (OMG figure skates are beautiful, no arguments needed) but the technical aspects like the jumps and the spins are kinda off-putting? No, wrong word. They're "distracting"? I mean, they're awesome feats of skill, obviously, I just don't like them because I like the artistry aspect more than the technical aspect. The aesthetics of the sport more than the sport itself, if that makes any sense.
