“Does this blog still exist...if so...can I just say that after seeing Bradie's (2023) training vids, I would LOOOOOOVE to see her rip the US National Gold right out of Isabeau's horrific skating method's hands?”

“It always makes me laugh when people think USFS has some sort of monopoly on skating and make claims that a skater would be scored higher if they were American. Like oh yes, the almighty USFS with the girls who only medal when the Japanese or Russian ladies don't skate clean and with the men who can never not splat on the ice. Such a powerful federation oh yes, they're beating everyone by 30+ points and sweeping the podiums!!! 🙄”

“Mariah retiring nearly had me in tears. It was so lovely being able to watch her, Karen and Bradie in the same competition and know that you were truly watching WOMEN'S figure skating, not teenagers who were sure to disappear after 4 seasons. She brought such lovely passion and artistry and I will truly miss seeing her.”

“It's kind of a joke that Daria is on the national team, considering it's also a joke that they named a national team at all. But Daria has barely been able to restore doubles, her career is over and done. Why keep letting her push herself towards another injury?”

“My heart skipped an entire set of beats when I saw Bradie's post about WD'ing from Japan Open. All I want is a healthy Bradie this season, it's the least she deserves”

“SO READY for a GP season with no Russians! IT'S ANYONE'S GAME! I LOVE THIS!“

“Isabeau Levito's jump technique is terrifying and I am so scared we're going to watch her hurt herself”

“I felt bad for Tara Prasad at Finlandia because she had no one with her in the kiss'n'cry, and then to have to watch Gubanova's "Indian" free skate get all those points. And Tara's costume was so lovely!“

This blog is active...just a reminder...

I have no confessions in the ask box or queue at all. I keep logging in and checking. Was expecting more - but if another confessions blog has stepped up and taken over, let me know?

“any beginner can do whatever the hell is shoma doing on the ice“

[figureskating-confessions]

“Getting cautiosly optimistic that we will actually have a Bradie comeback after the stuff she has been sharing on instagram! Triples jumps and spins galore!”

[figureskating-confessions]

“Gotta admire Alexia Paganini's bravery to subtweet the doping situation in the middle of the olympics. That must have taken a lot of nerve knowing it could impact her score.”

[figureskating-confessions]

“People say Kaori only won worlds because of the Russian ban while ignoring that Shoma only won worlds because of everyone else taking a break and inflated scores”

[figureskating-confessions]

“While Nathan is a much better skater than Sasha, the fans who endlessly trash Sasha for her skating skills and transitions and then turn around to praise Nathan's for his artistry and never comment on his obvious flaws in the same way are just hypocrites.”

“the last season was such a tailspin of emotions. grand prix injuries, Covid cancellations, the hunger games aka russian nationals, europeans, scoring drama, and to top it off a big fat doping scandal that LITERALLY couldve been frickin avoided. not the mention the gaslighting and emotional trauma of LITERAL TEENAGERS, and in the midst of it all Kaori Sakamoto is doing her happy dance and becoming world champion. Next season better be somewhat better or else imma riot”

“I'll always love Young You's "Don't Rain on my Parade" program. So cute!”

[figureskating-confessions]

“I'm convinced a good fraction of Shoma critics (esp those who criticize the non-jump aspects of his skating!) have never stepped on the ice.”
