This is probably the best and the most concise explanation for the people that think they're being soo mature for taking the "not all russians tho" stance.
Read it, then read it again and learn by heart.

I love how women are painted as these nurturing, maternal and selfless creatures, but the moment we decide to go into a profession of (health)care suddenly we become incapable and inferior to our male counterparts??
Today a professional athlete Yuzuru Hanyu skated a clean 97.99 BV program stuffed with complex transitions and choreo just for funsies for a YouTube livestream.
For reference: 2022 World Champion won the free skate with a 86.46 BV program
Let that sink in.

Sasha said that she had to wait for the bus ALONE for an hour, then went back to the rink for wifi to use a translator for the volunteers and they found her a car after 1hr
TeamTut basically abandoned a distressed minor in a foreign country, with limited communication capability
⚡️Yuzuru Hanyu has announced that the height and the length of his 4A has improved so much, that he will fly from Sendai to Beijing on his 4A. The ice scope data shows that the length of Yuzuru's 4A is now 2,112.95 km, which is precisely the distance between Beijing and Sendai.
#YuzuruHanyu
(Cont.) or I may have done it if I landed well on the landing.
But that's not me. Like...I don't need if it is such Axel. I want to be as my Axel, after all. So in a way, I am convinced, and now I think it may have been my everything.

Нет, Женечка, хорошего дня с 24.02 не было.
Интересно как день сразу стал плохим только тогда когда война пришла стуком в каждую дверь РФ, а не когда ракеты начали лететь над Украиной, убивая тысячи детей, матерей, дочерей, бабушек, дедушек, отцов, сыновей.
⚡Breaking: ISU to elect Yuna Kim as the president of ISU and Yuzuru Hanyu as the president of the figure skating branch of ISU.
Per new officials' request, the ISU judges will have to write score reports after every event, justifying their scores.

guys, i found all of the Olympic Channel YouTube livestream links (through Indian VPN)
the team event:

Women's free:
Men's short:
Men's free:
no but you know what's funny?
Anna with her INCORRECT edge on her Lutz (yeah it's not unclear, it's fucking incorrect), and like 180° pre-rotation got mostly +3s and two +4s, while Waka's 3F!q got all -3s and -2s.
honestly it's not his graduation to the professional career that hurts the most, it's the circumstances and the aura surrounding the whole decision. how he was pushed to doubt himself, even though he kept improving, thinking that he might had went down the wrong road.
Real Figure Skating Fans: Yuzu would've hated the way you fanyus scrutinize the scores at every competition. So toxic. He doesn't care about the scores!
Yuzu: the scores I got were bullshit & I'm done being disrespected like this. I'm taking my skating where it'll be appreciated
Did You Know?
In Figure Skating there’s a special medal for exceptional performances — The Platinum Medal. It is awarded in very rare cases and it is valued higher than the Gold medal. So far in the singles category only 4 skaters have received this medal!
#factchecked
All stand and bow in the presence of the Sendai Royal Family!
1. The Queen Shizuka Arakawa
2. The King Yuzuru Hanyu
3. The Prince Shun Sato
4. The Princess Mone Chiba
you're saying that I woke up to: Yuzu dropping a new video with skating asmr included; being a lil dumbass (affectionate) and misspelling youtube as youtune (very relatable, yuzu) in his pinned comment; created a twt acc, tweeted the misspelled comment, fanyus thought it was fake
Idk who needs to hear this, but don't patronize Yuzu. Not over Javi, not over anyone else. He is a grown man in his mid 20s closing to his 30s! He is perfectly capable of deciding who he trusts, interacts and is friendly with! It's up to HIM if he wants to maintain his friendship
I'm just really curious
In what kind of a fairy tale world is sport not related to politics and governments?
Has anyone ever thought about why NATIONAL anthems and flags are displayed at the podium ceremonies?
Or why the announcers say "representing x country"
I was reading the ISU document below and I realized that Yuzu had the right to stop his performance, alert the referee about the hole and re-do the 4S. He probably didn’t see the hole right away or couldn’t make the decision on spot at that moment
Do what you will with this info
This is exactly why unfair judging and corruption goes beyond the podium and some medals.
ISU/USFS/JSF greed has pushed Yuzu to this edge where he feels worthless, because he can't hold his well-deserved medals & results. He is pushing himself beyond the human limit, he has grown
Let me tell you that the "do it over and over again until you do it right" is one vicious strategy. It takes a lot of stamina both physical and mental, because every time you make a mistake you have to start over and it just eats away your patience.
Q. The IOC announced its decision to return Russian athletes, do you want to see the Russian athletes back, even at Worlds?
#MatteoRizzo
- We are happy with our competiton right now. (Press room applauds.)
Imagine how annoying it must be to be on the same ice as Yuzu practices LGC. You think you've gotten far enough away from him then you turn around and bam he's right next to you already zooming down the rink like an absolute mad torpedo he is
I personally oppose to the idea of fanyus sponsoring Yuzu a cup of coffee. Simply bc supplying that man with caffeine might open a vortex to the parallel universe or he might start moving past the speed of light & zap himself beyond event the horizon. Yall ever thought abt that?
I'm about to watch a yet another huge interview of Aliona. it's 53mins long.
i'll be making a thread of the interesting info, like last time!
the name of the interview:
Aliona Kostornaia: Leaving Tutberidze for Buyanova, Olympics, heart problems and the horrors of diets
Can’t believe there was a time where Yuzu, Pchiddy, Javier, Yuna, Mao, Caro, Sui/Han, Savchenko/Massot, Duhamel/Radford, Virtue/Moir, Shibs, Papadakis/Cizeron, Hubbell/Donohue all competed during the same quad or even in the same season… the current quad is so undersaturated
Brian in 10 years probably: “it’s important to keep in touch with your former students, last summer i got to coach Yuzu’s kids for skating camp. They grew up so fast, i remember them when they could barely walk.”
Yuzu is never going to tell us about changes to his relationship status. If we ever find out he’s married it will be because Orser makes an offhand comment about Yuzu’s spouse in a completely unrelated interview.
I hate this post-olympic season… everybody’s either: retired or skating through their final season; injured; not yet recovered from an injury; not yet recovered mentally from the Olympics; very burnt out or feel lost and demotivated.
2019 season felt less dreary to me…
For my own selfish reasons, I'm glad that Yuzuru decided to voice that he couldn't move on from the Beijing Rondo performance. Ever since that day I had this gnarly feeling inside of me, I couldn't watch any of the Rondo performances, because it hurt /that/ much.
I feel like some people missed the point here. Nobody's blaming Dai for his fans' actions, she just pointed out how Dai's inaction or lack of initiative to somehow empathize with a child in distress made the situation worse. Instead he just stood there, self absorbed and smiling.
Idk who needs to hear this, but you don't need your fav skater to be actually better than their rivals. You don't need to pretend that they're flawless to enjoy them. But goodness me, accept the fact that it's unfair that they get scored above skaters that are objectively better
the impact of her speaking up and allying with the LGBTQ+ in a predominantly homophobic/transphobic country will resonate far and wide. she's growing into a such lovely and an interesting person and it feels like a breath of fresh air in a world of zhulins and yagudins
if they brand yuma, the kid with a STABLE 4S, 4T, 3A, a newly debuted 4F & a revivable 4Lo, + a comfortable 3Lo combo as the "pcs skater" i will spontaneously incinerate myself.
he's neither a "TES skater" nor a "PCS skater". HE'S BOTH. A FULL PACKAGE, THAT KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
russia still hosting Channel 1 Trophy ON ONE OF THE MAIN NATIONAL CHANNELS, while bombarding and killing innocent Ukrainians feels so dystopian to me...
If you want your protest to go beyond online activism, please boycott that competition. Don't give them views (=money)
No child (human in general) in this world should have to deal with these kinds of situations.
Politics have always been vile, but i thought the entire point of history was to learn from it and move towards a better place,but instead the world keeps rolling into a far worse place
I'm all for eteri slander, but this is completely normal. Ice rink air is dry and cold, it dries out the nasal mucosa, which protects the capillaries. Skaters blow their noses very often bc cold (condensation)
"Almost another Salchow" 💀
This man is, hands down, the best commentator that the ISU has!
@Mark_Hanretty
, please keep this energy and sass for the women's free skate tomorrow! We have so many "almost another Loops" and "almost another Salchows" lately that need to called out
Next thing we know Yuzu is a father of two and has had a wife for the past 5 yrs 💀💀💀💀
At this point we never know anything about the secretive Japanese skaters
As an ex-rg and ex-coach, i want to highlight that she's one of the only people that does that cartwheel correctly. Her torso and pelvis is right above her head, while her legs are in an actual 180°-ish middle split.
if you thought that the ending pose was terrible, let me tell you that the entire program and what happened afterwards was just as terrible and enraging.
the picture got me curious, but i wish it didn't.
this entitled and disgusting behavior from team tut is crossing every line
it seems so paradoxical, doesn't it? an athlete disengaging from the competitive stage (read: the governing body) to BECOME BETTER? honestly, this seems to be unheard of, because usually the governing bodies are (or should be) doing everything in their power to encourage a better
220723 TBS🎂
cut from presscon
"I want to face the next stage"
I thought "Doesn't have to be here (on competitive stage) forever"
I thought "I want to be better""I want to be stronger"
And made the decision.
UKR to their athletes: do not stand next to the ROC flag, do not interact with the ROC athletes, do not even BREATHE AND BLINK in their direction.
Meanwhile the IOC/Beijing Olympics: yeah um.. so...
1st of all, the "leg drop" deduction refers to the spin position, not the transition between two positions.
2nd of all, Nathan isn't doing a Donut spin here like Yuma, Yuzu, Jun. Donut spins require spine hyperextension & Shoulder circumduction.
@a_random0person
@_mariaaaa18
Her spine fused/grew in in a such way that now she can't turn around to the left. She's unable to push her left shoulder back to do jumps, especially flip and lutz. The only safe options are sal and maybe toe
Tw // putin
Oh no!! Look at these poor souls!! They all look so tortured to be here😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 definitely none of them actually wanted to meet a genocidal maniac drenched in blood of thousands if not millions.
i think a lot of people got confused with the translations.
neither IAM or Gui forced Gabi to have an abortion. She decided that on her own and was open about it to her friends outside the FS world. The problem was that she was afraid to tell the coaches and Gui abt the abortion
and Aliona answers "at what cost? i've been healing for 16 weeks without training. you started hearing about this only now that i've begun talking about it. you never knew what happened on the inside. nobody knew. and a lot happened when i didn't/couldn't train. (cont)
Yuzuru has specified, that he will take off from Ice Rink Sendai and land at the official Beijing Olympic Ice Rink and is to be accompanied by music, because "there's no point to figure skating, if your movements aren't perfectly timed with the music" - said the skating legend.
"Different technique"
Istg this man has diplomacy up to a whole different level💀 i'd kill to sign up for his intensive class of diplomacy and soft spokenness
#YuzuruHanyu
With my Axel theory, I do think I was able to achieve the highest possible performance in the competition, while maintaining my Yuzuru Hanyu's Axel.
Maybe I could have rotated, if I had incorporated a different technique,
18/21
idk how did we end up living in a world where Kao, Sena and Jun get approximately the same PCS as Ilia.
the kid can barely hold an edge for longer than a second pls 8.43 in skating skills my ass.
when will the era of Passport Component Score end?
*a small note: he jumped an extra jump, bc he skated a layout according to the rules of the 2018 quad. So if we take out the least valuable jump to adjust the program to the rules of the 2022 quad and to make the comparison w/ reference more accurate, the BV would've been 88.55
⚡Breaking: Yuzuru Hanyu has announced that he will continue to be a menace to ISU and JSF and pester them with his pristine technique, difficult transitions and musicality.
"These bitches ain't getting rid of me yet" - says the figure skating god, while laughing deviously.
I hope this helps.
The hashtag says “KamilaWeAreWithYou” tagged with Olympics2022 - a flashmob performance by the Russian Presidential Military Cadets in support of Kamila.
Sport is absolutely politicized in Russia. It always has been since the grand old days of USSR.
@masqueroarade
@PopCrave
what does a skater's routine have to do with russia's political decisions? are you as an american guilty of every bad thing america has done?
Journalists: what happened to you?
Aliona: I'm not allowed to talk about it.
Also Aliona: allows her biggest fanclub to post a pic of her in a cast.
Tells the whole story about the injury in her first YouTube video a day later.
imagine sacrificing your childhood years only to have to move to a whole different continent to sacrifice your teen-young adult years to reach your goals and dreams only to have to sacrifice your adulthood years and normal life.
one thing i'm very happy about is that Yuzu has an amazing and an absolutely gigantic fanbase. imo one of the reasons why he didn't lose the courage to take further steps is because of his evergrowing fanbase. imagine getting lowballed by your own fed and the governing body
At the moment my mind cannot grasp the sheer size of the project that is GIFT. Like what do you mean the Yuzuru sold out Tokyo mf Dome via a LOTTERY and on top of that it’ll be streamed in about a hundred (??) Japanese movie theaters AND in 3 other countries AND on Disney+ ???
There's something so fascinating about the whole YouTube channel progression and everything connected to it - comments, views, subs, etc..
We've always known that he was very loved, but we rarely ever got to see it in concrete numbers. It has usually been a mutual understanding.
No but imagine if ISU/JSF had treated Yuzuru fairly and didn’t make his life miserable. He would’ve been so much more willing to collab w/ them for projects. He’s so much gratitude for the companies/people who stood by him. ISU/JSF opted for a quick buck & missed out on billions
