It looks like something that means something inappropriate, for sure

There's also the "there have been no complaints in the last couple of months" statement from the original letter that is going wholly unadressed in this apology. Were there complaints before that or did he just use spectacularly bad wording?

I was also a fan of younger Gina, and remained a fan through 1998 because while she played to the code more, she was very clean in her skills and that sometimes stuck double layout was a thing of beauty. Also the Romanian vault rotation in 1996 was just stellar.

Indianapolis has an NBA team....

I think something can be revealing without being sexualized, at least in intent. Sure there's always going to be someone who chooses to sexualize any inch of skin (see Victorian ankles...) in how they view others but that doesn't mean that was the intent, just as some people will sexualize...

I remember watching YouTube clips of competitions posted by some of these individuals, and while I always appreciated the coverage, the things they said in the videos were frequently so wild that I was baffled

I'm not a Martha fan per se, but she'd probably do a better job than Forminte. I imagine she would take zero crap from the Voineas. In fact, watching the Voineas try to pass stuff over on her would probably be entertaining because of that.

A note on this-- The US actually qualified three pairs to worlds with that total of 13 points, but there were fewer spots available for the Olympics, and Shin/Nagy didn't place highly enough at the qualifying event to get a third Olympic spot (possibly why the US seems to have low balled or knit...

Worlds-- as worlds has the slightly bigger field

If he skates like he did at nationals, he will. But that is always the question, isn't it?

Let alone there being some very valid questions about the judging of Hiwatashi's free skate, as well as those of Chan/Howe and Shin/Nagy I would've had Hiwatashi in fourth and Shin/Nagy in fourth as well, and certainly not Chan/Howe scored as highly as they did. One judge apparently had them...

I feel bad for Tomoki Hiwatashi, I felt he deserved worlds over Brown after Brown had a complete (and very odd) technical meltdown at nationals. Very glad Naumov made the Olympic team, I cannot imagine the immense pressure he must have had on his shoulders in that free skate.

That's beautiful though!!!

I feel like if I was a parent who got that letter, if I didn't have red flags before I'd have them now just from that letter. Bad press is their biggest concern but not complaints from several months ago? And they actually said as much? Big yikes

Utah's legs being that high cut should be a deduction honestly. We're making 1992 China look tame here.
