All Time Favorite Figure Skaters

It's SACRED GEOMETRY.

The FIGURE EIGHT was the foundation, followed by the serpentine, loops and brackets etc., all of these basic shapes were incorporated to form complex patterns. Mandalas, essentially.

Compulsory figures:

I AM A FAN!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mister Obvious]

Now THAT shit is exciting. Oh my God.

[Mister Obvious]

Oh my God, make it rain, MAKE IT SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mister Obvious]

Homie is godly. Divine.

Beautiful jumps, beautiful backbends, he's superb.

Absolutely fucking phenomenal.

[Mister Obvious]

Go, Canada. Damn. Sure would be nice if he became the first Canadian to ever win Olympic gold in men's singles.

Bro doesn't even have a Wikipedia page yet! He's just 18, so there's probably hope.

Lipnitskaya's performance brought the audience at Sochi to its feet, and Russian flags were hoisted proudly into the air. For seven-year-old Paradis, sitting in his living room in Boisbriand, Quebec. It was enough to inspire a life and career in the sport.

See, young people being INSPIRED toward a graceful, elegant sport... this is what we NEED in the United States.

Hopefully Ilia can get us there.

Meanwhile, I wanna see Paradis at the Olympics. Period. It'll have to be 2030. He'll be 23. He's gonna have to climb that mountain between now and then.

[Mister Obvious]

YES. THIS.

This is exactly what I mean when I say ICE CIRCUS.

It only needs to be ONE person on the ice doing some wild shit.

This is a damn dream.

0:25 OMG, I'm gonna cry. I'm so for real, OMG.

THIS. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.

0:43 - 1:00 OMG beast mode, this is it. THIS IS IT.

[Mister Obvious]

Dude. FUCK everyone else.

[Mister Obvious]

Ilia needs to drop the quads and start putting his talent toward the new wave.

Stop feeding into the old system with their bullshit scoring, insane fetishist nonsense.

Garbage. What Anthony's doing is THE WAY. This is it.

Women's qualifier short program results...

https://i.imgur.com/xjy0Yr8.jpeg

Adeliia Petrosian = 1st place...



She's so great, but I don't like the outfit or the music, even though I love Michael Jackson. I feel like it just doesn't hit.

Anastasiia Gubanova = 2nd...



Pretty sure I've never heard of her before today.

Loena Hendrickx = 3rd...



Most people agree that she was way overscored.

Ruiyang Zhang = 4th...



I didn't care for the song, but I do think she had the best outfit and is the most talented skater of the 4. She's the youngest too, so most likely she'll be at the top for the 2030 Olympics.

Loena should have been in 4th place at best.

[Mister Obvious]

Men's short program tomorrow...

I can't fucking wait.

[Mister Obvious]

Well technically it starts in like 9 hours because it's in Beijing, but... they won't get them uploaded til the middle of the night probably.

[Mister Obvious]

OMG it's live...

[Mister Obvious]

There are some badass costumes in this lineup. Nothing but hotass dudes. This is awesome.

[Mister Obvious]

Even the commentators are kind of entertaining, lmao. WTF.

I can't remember the last time I watched ANY figure skating event live.

Seriously. Pretty damn amazing that they're making this available.

[Mister Obvious]

That's been a gripe for many years now... there's almost nowhere you can tune in to watch figure skating events as they happen anymore.

It was super common on TV in the early 2000s but now it's hard to find.

This is cool as hell man.

[Mister Obvious]

Ah my God, I love it.

[Mister Obvious]

This is Mark Hanretty, one of the commentators...

I rest my case.

[Mister Obvious]

Petr Gumennik's outfit is fire...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Gumennik

His jumps are fucking incredible.

That's what's so great about watching the full shows live, you see a bunch of skaters you'd never hear about otherwise.
