🟠 FUNDRAISING
Ukrainian ice dance team Iryna Pidgaina and Artem Koval have launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking financial support to continue their careers.

The pair says they have been living and training in Vienna since leaving Ukraine in 2022 while continuing to represent Ukraine in international competitions. According to the campaign, their financial resources have now been exhausted.

The fundraiser will help cover ice time, coaching, choreography, new programs, costumes and physical training.

I’m gonna start a rumor that Russia banned themselves because they were too afraid of Kaori and only came back cause she retired

I think their danse macabre section is well executed and has a strong concept, but were Scott, Madi, and Adria on coke when they decided to make the second rhythm in a waltz program a samba?!?

[jiyu 🌸 @junplusplus]

in case anyone is wondering why ppl think
1. utamasa gw > ikuko
- ikuko's edges are quite flat (upright) and they're less comfortable in hold
2. they are slow
- for steps 33-20 of the gw, at 186 bpm, it should be ~33-34 sec, with some steps 1 beat long & their movements are small

hi guys I’m an elite figure skater and this is my short program music this season

[cypress 🪽 @junlocos]

@iliassice @li4flip I think what i’m trying to say is that with the technique and knowledge that coaches + people at our level should have, it should be easy to work out the mechanics of a few singles the other direction

[cypress 🪽 @junlocos]

@iliassice @li4flip i’m roughly the same level as you and i can jump up to single flip on my non dominant side 😭

mia kalins tt about how her coach connects to lipetsky...again it is insane that they still coach at oic and are endorsed by usfs. more kids are being put in danger and ex students who live in oakland are forced to skate at the same rink and environment as those abusers.

[vio @locohwan]

some people will get on this app and talk like good skating skills, deep edges, and speed are easy things to learn and execute

i personally think the isu should capitalise on grand prix assignments day and host an actual draft ceremony that’s streamed on youtube

[cypress 🪽 @junlocos]

Where’s the gp assignment

[benni @quadsalchuwu]

screen recording and reposting a beginner skater who’s brave enough to show themselves learning off ice drills is deeply shitty and you need to figure out what’s missing in your life that’s making you act like an asshole for no reason.

are you fucking serious

Transgender Working Group: The IOC published a statement on "the protection of the female category" to implement SRY gene testing for the 2028 Olympics, it's the "most accurate and least intrusive test to identify biological sex at birth" - it may progress depending on what science and research shows in the future
