Yep. We’ve got a young woman who can actually stand up on jumps consistently and another young woman with the capability to land a clean triple axel, while skating a beautiful program.

Ever seen a boxing match without a knockout?
The winner, a newbie, may not have have the emotional range, but she had more difficulty, her spinning was better, and she had far better lead-ins to her jumps, and she was near perfect on her jumps. To me, that made her program much more enjoyable to watch. Plus she was so far ahead that they could have scored her…
I’ve always felt that about all Olympic sports that are measured by subjective and not objective measures. If it can’t be measured by score (tennis, water polo, soccer, shooting, archery), time (running, swimming) or distance (jumping, throwing), then I find it hard to accept. That’s not to say that these can’t still…
Question to the author: what does emotional range that you mention have to do with components like skating skills, between element transitions, program composition?
Bradie has speed and flow pretty much on par with Wagner or, dare I say, better at times; much more sophisticated transitions than Wagner whose program…
There is a café in which I enjoy reading; it is quirky and bohemian. Which, in the Bay Area, can often mean that it attracts a certain cohort of Baby Boomer males whose apex in life was Woodstock, and who have never quite gotten over their lost youth. Believing that they are still sexual dynamos, their main hobby…
I saw Audrey Hepburn in Switzerland when I was around 13, not even a year before she died. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it either, she was so beautiful in an almost otherworldly way. I saw a ton of celebrities when I was living in New York, spoke to a bunch of them, but Audrey stands out.
My parents lived near that building 50 years ago and my mom was OBSESSED with trying to spot her. Then one day, my mom was pushing my brother in a baby carriage and Greta Garbo was walking towards them. As she passed my mom, she said, “you’re baby is beautiful”.
Why do your feelings about a person who you do now know matter right now
Ashton Kutcher’s friendship and business partnership with Danny Masterson makes me give his advocacy for sex slaves serious side eye.
So, I worked as a visitor services associate for 2.5 years (sold tickets, worked into), and was there during the lawsuit. You would not believe the god awful way that people treated us, the lowest rung employees with no power or control (or benefits bc we were all part-time, so we got pretty much nothing). Visitors…
Well, if we use the argument that the Met is taxpayer-funded to argue that it should be free, then I’m theoretically okay with charging fees to out-of-towners whose taxes don’t go to fund the Met (but yes, $25 is too much for just the main museum, which is all most people will visit).
Oh please, not Surya Bonaly Trutherism again. The backflip was banned in the late 1970's, long before she was on the scene, which didn’t stop her from doing a practice backflip inches from Midori Ito’s face(for which she was almost thrown out of the Olympics), “Accidentally” running into people in practice sessions…
One nice thing is that now The Met will honor full-price tickets for three consecutive days, so now you can actually get to The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer and The Met Cloisters on the same admission fee. I always wondered if ANYONE was ever able to go to and enjoy The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters in…
lol, this is such a joke. its a way to shut down leaks. but the fact that trump still uses his old android (no android shade intended) which, without a doubt, is hacked either by china or russia or both is just fine.
Cool, let’s transport ourselves back to 1997 for no reason.
Oh, so we gonna ignore how Shea Moisture and Roland “Cap’n Ascot” tried to mansplain black women feels not even a year ago?
“I would feel a lot of relief if you told me there was a way to fix it”
Yeah, I’m willing to pay $150 for decent seats (doesn’t even have to be on the floor). But what I won’t do is pay $150 to sit on the upper level of the stadium in row ZZZ.
