i am very normal abt figure/synchro skating

(i am, in fact, not normal abt it)

[ilottthepilot]

if stars on ice wants to make one billion dollars they need to listen to me and produce this show program:

Lay all your love on me, but the mamma mia version

Emilea Zingas as Sophie and Vadym Kolesnik as Sky

Hear me out

so the program just starts off with the two of them ice dancing, doing what they do best

but then all of the other guys show up (with a mask and snorkel)

and lift up emilea and vadym and carry them away like this

and then the guys do an unhinged flippers inspired step sequence

hear me out okayy!!!!!!

Misha having a good choreographer is something that can be so important

some figure skating fans don’t seem to understand that there’s a political world outside of figure skating which affects figure skating. the ISU didn’t ban the Russians because they’re ’scared of trusova’ they banned the Russians because THEY INVADED A FUCKING COUNTRY. Because THEY’VE KILLED A MILLION FUCKING PEOPLE.

Actually this is gonna be junhwan’s year. He’s gonna have no boot or ankle problems and the most beautiful programs and they’ll stop underscoring him and he’s never gonna fall. Trust

Honestly I really like the idea of combined synchro and figure skating worlds to increase the coverage for synchro especially as they make their bid to become an Olympics sport. I don’t really have any opinions on speed skating also being there but I guess it’s probably cheaper to do it all at once in the same city and with similar venues

[synchroskatingno1fan]

off ice training is brutal. i can't climb stairs, i can barely walk, someone save me :'(

The number one response to my post about judges not being paid was “THEY’RE NOT PAID???” and no figure skating judges (and I believe the tech panel too) are volunteers. Most international and domestic competitions pay for travel expenses, hotels, and food but they aren’t actually paid for their time. So the hours and hours they’re sitting scoring athletes is not paid for. They receive gifts sometimes but it’s not like they’re being monetarily compensated for their time and energy. Most judges will likely have full time jobs unrelated to skating and take PTO to travel for competitions so they’re literally just doing it for the love of the game

We did it. We’re finally free.
