"Kaori Sakamoto saved Women's Figure Skating. She saved it. Because she was the shining star in the dark cloud of Beijing, and then she pushed every woman in the world to skate better. She pushed every woman in the world to jump higher, to jump further across the ice on their double Axels. And frankly, to be nicer to each other too. She sets the tone. She sets that tone we're talking about with the way they treat each other. I think her legacy is going to be so multifaceted, but the fact that she will be leaving this figure skating world a better place than what she found is amazing. Amazing." - Adam Rippon, Ashley Wagner and Sarah Hughes via The Runthrough podcast

Alysa: “I enjoyed my program a lot too”

A powerful voice from the ice. Ukrainian figure skater Kyrylo Marsak spoke about competing against Russia’s so-called “neutral” athlete Petr Gumennik at the 2026 Winter Olympics—and his words cut deep.

“All the places that mattered in my life—especially in Kherson—are destroyed. The skating rink is gone. My apartment was hit; the bomb exploded one floor below.”

Marsak rejects the idea of neutrality outright. He says many Russian athletes quietly support the war, with evidence to prove it—yet the International Olympic Committee has chosen to look away.

“How can you say sport is separate from politics? They represent their country. They represent their flag. That is politics.”

Different sports use different kinds of ice!
