Eteri Tutberidze has completely destroyed women's figure skating and the ISU has let her.
For years now, I thought the only thing that could stop her would be one of her athletes testing positive for doping.
Apparently not.
Four more years? Hanyu Yuzuru smiled and said, “There’s a part of me that does want to skate here again”.
This is what the two-time Olympic champion had to say:👇
@Japan_Olympic I #羽生結弦
I will stand up, even if I’m standing alone, to demand a team medal ceremony for the athletes from the USA and Japan. @ISU_Figure@iocmedia Do not punish them for this. Let them have their moment.
if she wins, she will be absolutely torn apart and doubted by all the media and spectators. i honestly think it’s more harmful for her mental health to let her go ahead and compete, it’s basically setting her up and no one around her is gonna care
the disappointment and rage in fans is HARDLY even directed towards the skaters. we all know how much work each skater puts in. fans are allowed to be upset at scoring - read OVER/UNDERscoring - directed in a disproportionate manner
Thank you for always trying your best! Thank you for giving us two beautiful program after such injury
Thank you for coming back to fight even after such a long journey and 2 Olympic Gold medal
Forever my champion, forever my king
Stay healthy and congratulations!
