Congratulations to Elana Myers Taylor on winning Bronze in the 2-person bobsled, becoming the most decorated African American Winter Olympian with 5 medals total.

✨Here’s my problem with Figure Skating nowadays✨
It has become nothing but a jumping contest. In women’s and men’s both, the skater doesn’t even need to be artistic, if they land all their jumps it = high scores/world records. EVEN if their jumping techniques are wrong and questionable (and dont even get me started on the biased judging and favouritism because the skater doesn’t get called out for their bad techniques.)
What happened to figure skating when it was about artistry, performance, skating skills, edges, etc? Very few skaters are still beautiful regarding their skating skills and captivating views and they are the skaters that people remember, such as Yuna Kim, Jason Brown, Yuzuru Hanyu, etc.
I’m not trying to diminish the hard work that these skaters go through to get these jumps and how difficult they really are. But figure skating has completely put it’s meaning of artistry on the backseat and favourited jumps over anything
If anyone wants to add onto this please do, it’s just a little rant of mine that I’ve noticed the figure skating world become over the years 💔
