breaking records. breaking hearts, even.

i love her spins too!! honestly, i’m happy that she’s focusing on her components, i don’t know if she can be as complete as aliona, they strike me as different skaters but yeah maybe!! i love aliona so much though, like i hope all juniors grow to be as complete as her!!

retired d/w though, honestly i’m so glad charlie is commentating, ice dance stans have struggled through enough commentary from people who clearly don’t really watch ice dance, so i’m thankful for charlie and tanith. i heard meryl is doing great things in detroit, but i really just don’t keep up with them that often. also i’m glad that they are using their platform to end anti-maskers, mad respect, i hope they have a great day. now who’s gonna ask about sochi!

i wish her all the best though, she is a total sweetheart and honestly she has such a pure vibe ✨ that is so infectious. also if you’re looking for something more constructive, i’m so sorry but honestly i’m not the person, bc 1. i can’t find it in me to be mean to juniors and 2. i’m not a fs expert, i just happen to watch figure skating and enjoy it for the most part!!!

yes i did!!!! thank you to everyone who yelled at me on twitter y’all are the real ones 😫🤗 i watched it 5 times already and the more i watch it the better it gets?? i just notice more things and i hope they put in more transitions as the program grows, but maybe that’s just me. daniil gleikhengauz, this is absolutely your fault i am blaming you for this. i’ve literally been watching so much of his choreo i can’t believe i think that programs are now empty, someone plz help me find a cure.

going through old gifs, back when i didn’t know smart sharpen was a thing (x)

there’s just something special about canadian nationals (x)

like, some things are reminiscent of v/m, for example that team that did their the seasons curve lift and the number of teams who did their hhcc/funny face/sympathy lift. but also you guys, v/m trained at gadbois, some of their programs were choreographed by marie france and patch, and h/d’s free was choreographed by the same people + scott. i think there’s an argument for both sides, and h/d have parts of their skating that are similar to v/m in a way that a team like, for example, p/c, don’t. i think scott himself is aware of the backlash if it’s too v/m, but you can never win in these situations, and i think for his first time choreographing for a top ranked ice dance team besides v/m (i know he dabbled in choreo before), it’s a good job, and he played to their strengths.
