New drinking game: take a shot every time a piece of media featuring figure skating hits you with the most outrageous misinformation ever.

The unstoppable force: Me writing SkatingBook, trying to avoid this problem in every way possible

The immovable object: The realities of the actual 2008-09 figure skating competition season schedule

The immovable object: Medical journal articles on overtraining syndrome

The immovable object: The incomprehensibility of ISU technical manuals, historical archive edition

The immovable object: Just how were world rankings calculated in '09 anyway?

The unstoppable force: *my head*

The immovable object: *writing desk*

I'm very happy for Misha and that he finally has the resources to work with specialists but why must Benoît be everywhere? 😭

Richaud: *looks kind of like he sleeps hanging upside down in a corner like a bat someplace*

Stunning Photos That Show The Art Of Ballet In A New Light, As Captured By Brad Walls

Ballet is often thought of as an art form rooted in tradition, with elegance, symmetry, and timeless discipline. But Australian aerial photographer Brad Walls has taken this centuries-old dance and reframed it, quite literally, from above. His latest series of photographs reveals ballet in a way we rarely get to see, transforming movement and form into breathtaking patterns of light, shadow, and geometry.
