#skating stuff

Bruno Bucciarati

He always starts off a little wobbly.

But soon gets the hang of it.

He can’t really do tricks.

He has a lot of fun, though.

Will participate in the chicken dance after much pestering.

Only because he doesn’t actually know the chicken dance.

He does not buy snacks from the snack bar.

But he brings his own in a little zipper pocket dimension.

He helps out those who aren’t the best at skating.

Leone Abbacchio

A professional.

But not in a trick sort of way.

Likes roller derby sort of way.

He is an aggressive skater.

He will NOT do the chicken dance.

But he will out-speed everyone in that rink.

He finds it very entertaining that Giorno cannot roller skate.

“What a loser” he thinks.

Until he realizes that Giorno is getting help from Bruno!!!

Pannacotta Fugo

Another aggressive skater.

But not good at all.

He slips and slides and curses.

He doesn’t do the chicken dance.

But it’s because he literally can’t even get away from the entrance without sliding around.

He is angry the entire time.

Has a death grip on the bars on the edges.

Snack bar?

The perfect excuse to get out of this hell hole.

Narancia Ghirga

An absolute pro.

He knows ALL the tricks.

He will show off all the tricks.

He always does the chicken dance.

He forces Guido to do the chicken dance.

Has tried to show Fugo how to skate.

It didn’t go well.

Fugo had a death grip on him.

He does like the snack bar.

But he likes doing his tricks even more.

Guido Mista

He is also good at skating.

He doesn’t know as many tricks as Narancia.

And isn’t as speedy as Abbacchio.

Also the Pistols have their own little skates.

They’re made from Tech Decks.

He has taught them all how to skate.

Also the snack bar is usually where he’s at.

Because the Pistols will try to steal from it.

Also he does the chicken dance.

Giorno Giovanna

He has wobbly legs.

No tricks.

But he does get the hang of it after a while.

Is bullied by Abbacchio who aggressively skates around him.

He thinks Narancia’s tricks are neat.

And is thankful that Bruno helps him skate.

When he leaves the rink and starts to walk again, it feels funny.

He also eats the snacks from Bruno’s zipper dimension.

He will do the chicken dance but wobble the entire time.

Trish Una

A natural.

She picks up on Narancia’s tricks very fast and can do them just as well after her first few attempts.

She also can skate fast like Abbacchio.

But she does NOT do the chicken dance.

Instead, she will just watch from the sidelines.

She doesn’t eat the snacks that Bruno brings or anything from the snack bar.

Both are very questionable.

She likes the gushy couples skates and will drag out Narancia.

It’s not because she’s in love with him.

It's decided; Kamila Valieva, Alexandra aka Sasha Trusova and Anna Sherbakova will represent Russia at the 2022 Olympics. They are all under the same coach, the infamous Eteri Tutberidze.

First up: the team event. This event consists of 8 parts, a short and a free program for each discipline. Surprisingly enough, Kamila Valieva, the favourite to win it all, is chosen for BOTH the short and the free program. This is surprising, seeing as both Anna and Sasha missed out on an opportunity to win a gold medal here. To nobodies surprise, Russia wins the team event. However, right before the medal ceremony, the ISU releases a statement saying that the medal ceremony will be postponed. After a while it becomes clear that someone on the Russian team has tested positive for a drug test. This is none other than the 'perfect' Kamila Valieva. While the investigation is ongoing, Kamila will be allowed to practise and compete, but if she ends up on the podium, there will be no ceremony.

With Kamila possibly out of the way for the gold medal, everyone looks at Sasha to win first place. When, on the 15th of February, the short program rolls around, Kamila places first, to nobodies surprise. Anna places second, and on third place we have the Japanese Kaori Sakamoto, and on fourth place, Sasha. Sadly, Sasha fell on her triple axel, which she had not been able to land even a single time in competition that season. This ended up dragging her total score down by a lot.

Next up: the free program. From the three Eteri girls, Sasha is up first. Her performance contains 5 quads and she lands them all, therefore making her the first woman in history to land five quads in the olympics. Sasha is pleased with her performance and thinks she will win the gold medal. This is because Eteri promised her that if she landed those 5 quads, she would win.

After Sasha, it's Anna's turn, she delivers a near perfect performance, landing all her jumps including two quads. At the kiss&cry, when Anna receives her scores and Sasha realises that Anna has more points than her, she breaks down crying and screaming "YOU ALL KNEW ". While this is all happening, it's Kamila's turn.

Everyone expects Kamila to deliver another perfect performance, but to everyones surprise, she delivers the worst performance of her life. She falls on most jumps, and the ones she does land are wobbly. As soon as the gets off, Eteri starts scolding her for her performance. When Kamila receives her scores at the kiss&cry, and realises she is off the podium, she says 'at least the medal ceremony won't be cancelled now' and breaks down in tears.

Anna Sherbakova is the new olympic champion, with Sasha Trusova second, Kaori Sakamoto third and Kamila Valieva in fourth.

Anna, who has just won the competition that she worked for her entire life, isn't celebrating. Her coach and all of her other trainers are busy trying to comfort either Sasha, who is still crying and saying she never wants to skate again, or Kamila, who broke down under all the pressure from the public. Anna later said that the first feeling she had when finding out she won, was empty.

Sasha, who hasn't won a major competition in three years, thought that this would be her moment, especially because Eteri promised her that win if she landed 5 quads. Some of the things Sasha said are: "Everyone has a gold medal, everyone, but not me. I hate skating. I hate it. I hate this sport. I will never skate again. Never," and "I haven't been winning major events for three years. I always try to reach a goal, I always add more quads,". This entire situation is even more heartbreaking when you add that Anna and Sasha used to be best friends, and they share their room at the olympics. Since the olympics, there have been no signs of them still being friends.

Anna, Sasha and Kamila have all endured years and years of abuse at Eteri's camp, from skating while injured to not being allowed to gain any weight. All of this just leads me to wonder, was it worth it?
