is2g y'all were happy for Loena for one whole competition but she kept delivering and now she's enemy number one. fickle ass fandom.
#figure skating#loena hendrickx#you guys are acting like she gets Russian scores!! she really doesn't!!#acting like Belgium has even a fraction of the influence of a large skating fed#adding to the tags bc someone who's from Belgium brought it up: apparently Belgium doesn't even air figure skating competitions regularly#that's the federation we're talking about here#but Loena beat all of the Americans at fucking SKATE AMERICA - and we (USAmericans) DO HAVE that kind of influence#If Loena was actually just a mid skater and SkateAm just wanted a non-Japanese champion they wouldn't have picked a Belgian#to artificially inflate#I'm just saying - isabeau was right there#be fucking honest with yourselves!!

Anyone who blames Kamila Valieva is someone I'm immediately dubious with, she was 15 at the time, a child. She did not get those drugs herself, they were given to her by her coaches- How do people blame her?

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva | Russian Nationals 2022/23
#figure skating#fskateedit#sportsedit#elizaveta tuktamysheva#liza tuktamysheva#i think this is the best program of her career#and of course in the year after the olympics#if by some chance she does get another go at the olympics she needs to bring this back#the thing i'll be sad about with the russia ban is if she ends up retiring earlier than she intended#and I know I'm talking about the only Russian woman who had a full career in the last decade#but she had more in her#and maybe still does?#she recently said she wants to skate in shows at least another ten years and still feels like she will return to competition#but she hasn't hidden that she's mostly interested in international competition and the ban is going on longer than she thought it would

i love figure skaters, they just get better and more unchill every year
I DO TOO. I do have mixed feelings about Ilia rn because I really worry about the way he's being managed. I don't think Ari (his manager) cares much about long term success as much as breaking as many records as possible (honestly if you read Ari's Russian interviews it's a little scary the way he talks about his athlete). I know he's trying to get all this done while his body is still very young and capable, but at the same time I worry he won't even make it to the Olympics if he's not careful. :(
#and you might say#but kelly you love nathan and he was doing just as crazy of shit for his era#and you're right but the difference was i had a lot of confidence in nathan's team and nathan himself to take care of his body#nathan was extremely tactical#he had a severe injury right before his first senior season#because he decided to YOLO a quad at an inappropriate time#and that stuck with him#he did practice quad quad combos#and apparently could land them#but they weren't worth it points wise so he didn't risk his health training them#same with the quad loop which he could and did land in competition#but it hurt his hip (loops be like that)#so he stopped#(and despite this he DID still make me very nervous at times)#but when i see ilia practice and i watch ari talk in interviews#it's very clear what ari wants--- and it's quantity#and ilia is nineteen and it seems to me not a single person is telling him he should be careful#and it worries me#it does remind me a bit of the russian training style we see#where these skaters flame out young#and i dearly hope that doesn't happen to him#i don't actually worry about the quad axel tho#it seems like a safe jump for him#but i do wish he'd stop doing it in exhibitions like... you are 19 and i know this is how 19 year olds be but you are not invincible#I don't like when skaters do quads in exhibitions period#hystericblue

People complaining about how the women’s gpf lineup is a downgrade and they don’t care about them like I thought we were championing for more shock results y’all are so boring.
#this is a competitive sport please grow up#the Grand Prix is a Testament of your consistency and well not all our favs can do that so early in the season#so instead of bitches maybe you should be be thankful that new people are getting these huge opportunities#also some people really do not know how good we have it not the gfp used to be 95% russian and one Japanese women if they were being nice#anyways I’m excited to see ALL of them and how it will turn out#figure skating#grand prix 2022

Is The Kia EV3 The EV We’ve Been Waiting For? Source: cleantechnica.com
P.S. Probably - yes! The entire commercial future of this electric car depends on affordable price and availability at car dealers...
In addition, an electric car suitable for the mass car market could significantly reduce the need to import expensive and environmentally polluting oil

Re: B/V getting a 3rd international. I think they definitely get a bye if they go to Denis Ten and SKAM. Then they’d only need one other Challenger and there are plenty of other late Challengers - Warsaw, Tallin, Zagreb
Sadly, Vanya can't go to Estonia or Poland at the moment (visa issues) and Golden Spin doesn't count for a bye.
More info here.

guess who's starting to learn russian on duolingo now
#am i doing it for villanelle/oksana? maybe#kidding she's a huge inspiration to start but i've been wanting to learn it for a while#plus a colleague of mine is russian and communicating with him is already difficult because he's deaf#so i lowkey wanna be able to surprise him by being able to write a few sentences to him in russian#tho i get very ambitious and competitive in certain things so my ultimate goal is becoming fluent lol

btw the most annoying thing about the four nations cup or whatever they’re calling it is that of COURSE i’m going to watch it!! i’m just going to be so miffed the whole time that they didn’t make ANY effort to include any of the other countries. imagine hosting this thing IN BOSTON and the bruins’ BEST PLAYER isn’t able to play in it. in fact depending on your personal top ten lists nearly half of the best players in the nhl (kuch, drai, pasta, panarin) won’t be in this tournament!! when pasta said he probably won’t even watch, i FELT that
#horrid.#terrible league.#i also genuinely think there’s an argument for russia being in it#or at least include them in a team europe a la 2016 — you get some more of your top stars in AND they don’t compete under the russian flag#the nhl is so funny bc team north america and team europe were popular among fans so of course they did away with them#btw i do think it makes sense to censure russia in iihf play! i just think if they’re hellbent on calling it an nhl tournament though…..#well!!#even if you kept the russians out though. you could STILL put together a very competitive europe team!!!#meg.txtpost

one thing to really appreciate about YSB is that they gave bea a legitimately hot secondary love interest. something lfmb couldn't even aspire to.
#yo soy bea#russian adaptation saw what happened with michel and said 'dont get it twisted' and cast some short blond guy#so the audience wouldn't forget andrey was the Real Catch#i am saying this bc i just saw pics of the polin season---like give that guy real competition

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva keeps saying she wants to return to competition and a few things sound like maybe, just maybe it could be this upcoming season, and I really want that to be true
#she's talking restoring her jumps including the triple axel#which you don't need for anything but competition#i think she would need to do what jason is doing and take some time off from show skating and get back into serious training#he was struggling with his triple axel too last season#manifesting them both stable triple axels#i think part of why i like both of them is that they skate for the love of it#and you can tell#they want to be there#and i want to watch them#it doesn't matter if they aren't going to win gold because they don't have quads#and gold medals aside jason is absolutely amazing#and liza's free program from the 2022/2023 season was her best ever in my opinion#both are an argument for not retiring young if you have a passion for the sport#you can keep growing#and they really add something to the sport#figure skating#elizaveta tuktamysheva#russian figure skating

every move danny has made has been in service to his ultimate goal: getting claude back
#he got him a competitive freak russian son#got rid of the locker cancer and the guy who may have chased him in a gorilla suit according to tumblr tags#and has something to trade ottawa with their nepo baby#what if he's a mastermind

the fact that ilia is arguably the most famous name in the sport right now and ted is still getting on an international broadcast and pronouncing his name mal-EE-nen is just. who let this man have a career.
#he did the english language broadcasts for russian competitions for YEARS#and did not learn a single thing about pronouncing russian names#that combined with the 4a#made his short the wtf moment of the day#grand prix final 2023#ilia malinin
