It's good that watched Project Hail Mary after seeing Harry live again, otherwise I would've bawled my eyes out, wtf 😭

Emily Chan says she’s taking the year off but still looking for a partner and if things work out she’ll come back next season.
I got a tip from @leaura.bsky.social that the opera built-in vpn unlocks the ISU streams, which is a ridiculously easy workaround.

Losing all three of these women all at once is such a punch to the stomach. Kaori, Wakaba and Mai are each such incredibly strong skaters, but in such different ways. We were lucky to be there to watch. I hope they each move on to doing something they love just as much as skating. ⛸️

the one and only Kaori Sakamoto ✨️ I will miss your skating so much🥹 #kaorisakamoto #olympics2026 #figureskating #art #illustration #milanocortina2026
alysa liu! thank you for your joy and hope and sparkle and glow
If it were up to me, the RD requirements for next season would be a mandatory curve or stationary lift, I'm sick of every program ending in a RoLi
Ngl I think I enjoyed the Olympics so much because I watched everything exhausted in my hotel room, occasionally peeking into the AGOEs discord and that's it
A quad without seeing Eteri Girl Style was so refreshing, and seeing it again now is like your sleep paralysis demon creeping up on you in the grocery store. Don’t like it.
While everyone is still thinking about men’s skating, here’s the best short program of the year that unfortunately wasn’t at the Olympics. Kazuki Tomono’s That’s It (I’m Crazy!) is a masterpiece of fun and artistry. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Latvian luge athlete Ulla Zirne with a very pointed post just minutes ago. This comes in the wake of the IOC banning the Ukrainian skeleton athlete for his helmet depicting athletes and coaches from his country killed in the war with Russia. Zirne competing in Sochi and Pyeongchang.
I sincerely hope every team currently training at IAM or thinking about joining them is taking this day to reflect on their choices. Them dropping Bock and Lilah and Lewis like hot potatoes for FBC after building them up the entire quad, yeah this could be you.
What an awful message the sport of figure skating just sent to sexual abuse survivors and victims, and parents who want their children to participate in a safe sport. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

What a slap in the face this result is to Chock and Bates, who have been the heart and soul of the American team, columnist Christine Brennan writes.
