There was that one time USA was upset in semifinals and had to settle for the bronze.

2010 devastated me.

I don't know when they changed it. I think it may have even been before covid, but it used to be a random draw instead of by rankings. I think I remember Tara Lipinski skating pretty early during the technical program in 1998 and I know for a fact that the free program was a random draw within...

Nathan was three years younger in 2018 than Ilia is now. Competing at your second Olympics at 22 is different than at 25. Ilia would really have to defy the odds to win in 2030, given the last time a 25-year-old won was Scott Hamilton in 1984. The demands of the sport are so much greater now and...

Also, what has happened to US men's halfpipe snowboarding? Did the rest of the world simply catch up? I knew Australia was becoming competitive for a while, but it's Japan, too, now.

That was a worse Olympic men's competition to watch than 2014, even if I'm happy for Shaidorov.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't have mattered because of the Spanish judge who had the US in third, iirc? eta: Has anyone calculated what the results would be in the French judge was also removed from the short dance?

I'm never watching competitive ice dance again; I'm leaving it at that.

If the curling round robin play counts, it starts in 5 days. Figure skating even technically starts before the open ceremony.

Yeah, like this is getting off topic, but there's a character on a certain tv show that I thought had the kind of past to get a redemption arc and for some strange reason on Threads I kept getting opinions that were opposing me and it was really affecting my mental health because he's one of my...

I prefer message boards and Discord because there's more control over the community, even if it means being in an echo chamber on certain issues. There's a lot less fandom nonsense whether it's sports, tv shows, movies, or books. Twitter and Threads are the worst and I don't think Reddit and...

Yeah, I'm a school librarian and I don't work during the summer at all.

Those prices are insane. I might try volunteering maybe.

I'm excited for figure skating, hockey, and snowboarding.

I'm at the point where I don't know if I'll watch NCAA as closely this year.
