It's been years since Daisuke Takahashi's JNats comeback and I'm still obsessed with his performances. Sheltering Sky and Pale Green Ghosts are among the best men's programs of the 2018-22 Olympic cycle. On behalf of all of us who were old enough to watch Michelle vs Tara unfold in real time, Daisuke, I salute you.

In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.

You can see them trying out lifts in this video.

The rest is on Instagram here:

i’m watching this on repeat

[thirtypercentreal]

Lands too many jumps + Lands jumps on too many feet = 80%.

Both desperately trying to prove they can be their country’s number one, they will bring us the most ambitious pairs program yet. All the extra feet and jumps make them an unbeatable force, CODE OF POINTS BE DAMNED.

ALSO, HI EVERYBODY. WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE NEXT BIG TEAM IN SKATING? ALREADY EXISTING PAIRS AND DANCE TEAMS NEED NOT APPLY.

Once again, I took very few photos at Japan Open but captured this precious moment of Meryl and Charlie reuniting with LOTF fellow dancer, Daisuke. And check out Meryl ice dancing with Dai. 💃🏻⛸#carnivalonice #meryldavis #charliewhite #lotf

Pasha Grishuk and Evgeni Platov 1997 OD “Libertango”

music: libertango by the sexteto mayor orchestra.

“Now just look at the speed that they have. These are extremely difficult moves. Their control is first rate. Look at how they change direction. Their feet constantly moving. This is incredible dancing...

And look... [Pasha has] what some people call La Pinta: the way she moves, the way she stands there. It’s just- it’s characteristic of the tango.”- commentator Dick Button.

[anewbeginningagain]

Pasha Grishuk hands down is one of the biggest trainwrecks in skating. Between her drama with Usova/Zhulin, the fact that she and Evgeny Platov hated each other (she literally told him when on the Nagano podium he only contributed 20% to their OGM), her weird obsession w/being compared to Oksana Baiul, how much her coaches (Dubova, Linichuk, etc) trashed talked her, her name change, and the infamous Mr. President fluff piece. She is a messy LEGEND and truly deserves a lifetime movie.

OK, you have GOT to tell me more about the name changes and the infamous Mr. President fluff piece LOL, that sounds insane. I just recently told @macaroni-rascal that I have no idea why they keep making movies about Torvill and Dean and about the usual boring af skating tropes (yet another singles skating princess that gets injured and switches to pairs since it’s so much easier and is stuck with skating with a bad boy hockey player that was also injured and turns into a pairs skaters because it takes no skill whatsoever to skate pairs apparently) when they have so much better material for a Dynasty kind of show…
