The International Skating Union (ISU) has released measures that are totally inneficient to protect athletes, coaches, employees, press etc. first, because they are not following their own manual.

The recent events that they organized lacked of all the basic measures like the use of mask and social distancing even when many athletes have retired and are still fighting developing long term effects product of get ill of Coronavirus on the previous events that they organized.

Second Announcement

Okay, by some play of destiny, 30 minutes after I posted the announcement below, Mod Rashell contacted me. Their life has been very busy (she said she had made a lot of the confessions ready to be posted this weekend though), but apparently she has also had some very hard technical issues with Tumblr, especially with logging in and posting. But, thankfully she is okay, and she will contact the other mod, the new mod, to see what’s going on with them. Since she’s the one in charge of the blog now, I will leave it to her to tell you all when the blog is gonna be active again. Have a good rest of your week, loves! ~ Formed Mod Rachel

Hi, it is Rashell, and I’m sorry for leaving you all like this, I feel bad, but my accounts have been glitching so much, and I had to actually contact tumblr to get my main fixed, and it took a while for them to fix. But, I promise tha I have been making confessions, and will put them in the drafts/queue, when I have time this weekend, probably Friday night and all day Saturday, just so I can be early. Little by little my account has been back to normal, and it’s been okay for a couple of days now, so that’s good, especially since before, even when I was able to login, it would kick me out minutes later, haha! The other mod might of had the same or similar difficulties because she stopped posting first & me a week after that, so I will promise to contact her, and give you all updates soon. But, I do guarantee this blog will be active again, but since I will be the only person potentially running the blog (I can handle it), I will probably reduce the amount of total confessions allowed within one inbox opening, although because of this, I might be able to open the inbox two times a week, maybe three, and do little by little, so I can do more, in a way, as time goes one, but still being able to manage them better, you know, as long as tumblr doesn’t decide to do a long-spanded rager on me again, but yeah! Thank you to all for being patient and understanding, but I am okay, and thank you Rachel for worrying, I’m sorry if you had bad thoughts from that or went through any of that, I promise I wasn’t trying to ignore you, and I do appreciate you caring so much about me, I don’t deserve that, you are amazing, and I wish you the best! I hope to do this blog your justice, at least a little bit. ~ Current Mod Rashell

Announcement

Hello, FS fans! Former mod, Rachel, here. I left this blog 1-2 months ago, more or less, and even though I don’t post here anymore, I didn’t actually leave the blog, I still have it as a sideblog in case the current mods here needed anything.

Anyway, I’m just here announcing that apparently this blog is on hiatus because I have no idea what happened to the mods here. When I left everything was okay, I talked to the new mod and everything and they said they would take my place and for me not to worry, that the blog was going to run as usual and with confessions posted regularly.

However I noticed that, for some reason, this blog hasn’t been updated in a month or so, and I have no idea why. I have tried to contact both mods on their main blogs via messaging, for 3 weeks already, and neither has answered me. I have no other way of contacting them, we never exchanged any other contacts beside tumblr. I’m really worried here, I really don’t know why both of them just left without saying absolutely anything and don’t even answer me to say they’re okay. I hope they are and when they do say something, they will post something here I’m sure.

So, I’m sorry but this blog is on hiatus indefinitely, don’t know how long, depends when they actually make contact. I hope everyone, the mods and you guys, are okay.

“Natalie and Bruce's new FD looks so good. I hope we get to see it soon.”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“Alina looks kinda like Meghan Markle in those recent ice age photos!”

“What on earth are those weird choreos. that Sambo-70 does in its dance classes??? Now I understand why Shoma didn't want to stay with Eteri when he went there for a camp (during the time he was coachless, before the start of the 2019-2020 season). Sure, he was like: Nope after going to those dance classes, lol they look ridiculous.”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“I was really rooting for Young You being one of the only non-big fed skaters at the GP series. I wonder if her training got messed up switching her training between two countries that have really strict quarantine procedures or if it was purely just a bad jumps day for her? It makes me wonder about international competitions going forward though. The mental and physical component of quarantining after travel makes me concerned for everyone.”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“Evgenia and Anna S. seem to be good friends, I wonder how their relationship at Sambo is right now?”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“I adore Tomoe Kawabata short program to ‘Waltz in the Evening Glow.’ I hope she can perform it clean one day! :)”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Trusova's SP! People say she's robotic and not lyrical, but Alexandra does what she wants, as she should. The costume, the music, the choreography, the elements: PERFECTION. Waiting for her to skate it cleanly! <3”

“I miss the Shibutanis so much...”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“I really want to see Starr Andrews get better and maybe, even make it to the Olympics. In a sport that is so heavily dominated by white and Asian athletes (at least in the U.S.), it is so nice seeing a Black figure Skater. There needs to be much more diversity in figure skating. I really want her to do well, so that little Black boys and girls can look up to her, the way that I looked up to Michelle Kwan and Kristi Yamaguchi, as a young Asian American!”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“Sasha Trusova is hurtling her way to being an olympic champion, and I’m here for it!”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“When will the FS federations learn the lesson and stop hyping pre-teens/juniors/novices so much and naming them the next olympic champion, when they haven't even finished growing and developing physically. Yes, I'm looking at you, Rusfed, and don't get me started on the USFSA. I have no clue how they're gonna fix the Alysa Liu problem, that was some big PR campaign gone to waste.”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“Petition to make Mishin share the fancam he did of Sasha's FS at the Russian Cup Stage IV pls, ngl that was so funny, he was like a proud grandpa recording Sasha's jumps!”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“You thought the Evgenia/Rika thing was double standards... Javier traveled during the pandemic to Russia, a hot spot, somehow bypassed the border restrictions, skated in a show with an audience the next day, and took a lot of photos with other people without a mask, lol. But, he’s Jabi, he can do no wrong.”

[figureskatingconfessions]

“For some reason, the higher up the ranks, the more boring and warhorsey do the music choices get. Rika is a shining exception to the rule tho.”
