Wait, I’m confused. Shiffrin skipped an event because it got delayed? Did the delay cause that event to conflict with something else? I’m not understanding why she noped out of an Olympic final.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Yuzu. He is insanely famous in skating-crazy Japan, and he’s had the pressure to repeat his Olympic gold for the last 4 years. He’s managed to stay focused through all that pressure and several injuries to get back to that top step today. He is truly the GOAT.

I’m not sure he would’ve beat Hanyu, but he would’ve been on the podium.

Probably. Poor kid. I can’t imagine all that pressure at 18.

I’m so glad Boyang “Crossovers” Jin didn’t win a medal. Hanyu is able to throw down all the quads and still have such finesse. Javier and Shoma, too. I was thrilled to see them rewarded for that balance.

1) Nathan wasn’t 100% clean. He put his hand down on one jump and underrotated another.

None of this is true. The new scoring system has been in place with minimal changes since 2004, so this is the 4th Olympics with it. The higher scores were all scored by Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernandez in the last 3 seasons.

Because being physically responsible for 100% of a baby’s feedings is very restricting.

haha I thought the same thing. Maybe he’s trying to hide his sloppy, bent knees.

Next year, they’re increasing/decreasing the Grade of Execution on elements from -3/+3 to -5/+5, so a fall will be more costly because it will be a required -5 GOE, plus the -1 point penalty for a fall.

This is your issue then, not mine. Breastfeeding doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with having a child. This isn’t 1875. Many people choose to formula feed for many reasons. Your lack of imagination doesn’t mean that I am disturbed (per your first comment).

He is indeed the top American after the short.

Good for him! Although this accomplishment was really more of a result of skate order. There will likely be a few other quad lutzes later in the event.

You, Thunder Cats, are a courteous human being. That’s why you don’t understand.

Keep fighting the good fight!

Someone should sue under the ADA. The dog-friendly office thing is especially egregious.

If I’m being honest, my clothes are the main reason I wouldn’t want dogs at my office. If I wanted hair all over my nice suit, I’d get my own dog, but I don’t have one because I don’t want that.

I’m guessing it’s because people think you’re a crazy asshole if you don’t want their angel dogs in your grocery store.

And then YOU are the asshole for daring to suggest that not everyone wants to be surrounded by animals 24/7.

For a second, I didn’t realise you were talking about cramps and thought you were pregnant. I was like, “The whiskey cocktail was a bold choice.”
