Remember the weird adoption story they made up about her for no reason at all? They claimed she was from the island of Reunion, but really, she’d been born in France.

I’m not denying that there’s racism in skating, but she was very good and jumps and spins and that’s it. The girl couldn’t skate. Her footwork was terrible and her programs had little choreography. She was, essentially, a gymnast on ice. Which was very exciting to watch, but skating has two scores, and Surya badly…

“People need to learn about figure skating before they comment on it” is my current motto. I’m trying reallllly hard not to get into fights with people on here and Twitter, but it’s so hard. 

Aaaand I’ve been spending my evening watching the whole thing. DAMN YOU, MANNY!!!

hahaha I definitely did not hear that particular rumour, but he was dating his coach’s daughter at one point.

They were training partners with Meryl Davis and Charlie White, too! I don’t think I’m a jealous or possessive person, but I could not do that.

Ohhhhh nooooo

Re: the PCS scores - Do you think that falls should impact someone’s second mark? I feel like when a skater falls, that detracts from the overall presentation and flow of the program and should be reflected in the Performance Execution and Interpretation marks. A lot of people, though, feel like the PCS and TES should…

I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!!! I’m doing my best not to start fights with uninformed people here and on Twitter, but it’s harrrrd.

Whaaat?! His edges are amazing! I want to see him and Patrick Chan bring back figures.

His was so bad and hers was so good!

If I were a judge, I’d give her a deduction for those horrid tights.

Yeah, I can’t with the Shibs. Although I did love their free dance in 2016 to “Fix You.”

Didn’t they try to make it seem like Tessa is dating Patrick Chan on that? It’s been a while.

Have you seen Hubbell and Donohue? Their free skate is so sexy that I promise you will be rooting for them to just fuck on the ice at the end of it.

I WILL FLIP A GODDAMN TABLE

This is the Russian ice dance team, Bobrova and Soloviev.

So, underrotating is not a specific point penalty; it’s a mandatory negative grade of execution on the jump. The jump’s base value gets factored by the average GOE for the final element score. Falling gets you a -3 GOE AND a 1-point deduction.

Oh, no, they had her commentating on ice dance?! She and Johnny are painfully uninformed about pairs and ice dance. I adore Tanith Belbin’s commentary, though.

He didn’t nail all his jumps, though. His triple Lutz was underrotated. If it had been fully rotated, he would’ve scored higher of Kolyada.
