What am I supposed to do now that the skating season is over? Get back into Eurovision?

The Rocker Skating March Cladness coming down to Amber vs Alysa is so iconic....
Took a look at the ordinals for ice dance and I'll be happy all day now because Dune got a small medal :)
I've been seeing so many people saying Z/K don't deserve bronze and I'm like...isn't this what we want? New, fresh teams on the podium? Movement in ice dance rankings? We all knew gold and silver going in and that's boring. #icedance
Proof I love Z/K when I say I have hated the Scottish FD all year and I don't understand people complaining now that F/G deserved bronze with it. They got unfair calls in their favor for GPF, and everyone was pissed. We can just call this even. #worldfigure
Isabeau Levito 🤝 4th place at Worlds.
2 years in a row. Damn.
I can't wait til Alysa Liu starts getting referenced in rap songs. "Loo" is a very tempting rhyme. "Lee-ooh" is also easy if you get creative. Being from Oakland, I give it 6 months.
Extremely funny listening to Mark Hanretty's hesitation in the men's commentary as he holds himself back from saying "menning". It would be rude for a commentator to say, but there's a reason the term exists. #worldfigure
Mark said that Torgs said this program is about love and I'm chuckling this boy will just say anything. This program has very much grown on me even if I still hate the brown undershirt.
Gogo please secure your pants strap under your boot this is the SECOND time this has happened in your SP
Did Mark just say...this is Gogo's world's debut?? 🤯 I'm sorry what?? #worldfigure
Frangipani with those three butterfly jumps in a row: STUNNING #worldfigure
Mone!!! Finally a good, confident and happy ponytail flip on that "come on baby", the first time I've seen that since December. Love this program so much.
Yelling for Amber like I know her, what a queen. Very well-earned "fuck" at the end. #worldfigure
Oh that look on her face in the kiss and cry she is here to WIN win. I don't think I've ever liked her more than in this moment.
Oh. Okay. I guess in the last month Isabeau went to the Foot on Neck Academy because she did not come here to fuck around. That triple triple good lord. #worldfigure
It's taking the full season but I genuinely really like Gubanova's Bollywood program. I'm not Indian, so I can't speak if it's authenticity but she apparently did work with someone who signed off on it. #WorldFigure
I have not been able to post about the world championships because I am doing my hair and my fingers are too full of product lmao. Cried already because this is the last time we will probably see La Strada :'(
I know I'm going to be sooo bad at the fantasy draft for #figureskating Worlds but it is fun to think about who scores better component vs component. Also with so many withdrawals, it'll be nice to see some teams I maybe haven't seen as much this season!
Backstreet's back, alright!
While it's still a work in progress, here's my 90s Rhythm Dance playlist! The first ~50 songs are in Olympic podium order, and I'll be adding anyone else from the Grand Prix's after that, also in order :) Enjoy, or don't! #figureskating #icedance
open.spotify.com/playlist/6L8...
I don't have the exact numbers BUT I'm pretty sure Backstreet Boys wins for most appearances. Ricky Martin is there, but he is notably not as popular in the GP series as he was at Chinese Nebellhorn, Juniors, and Europeans (in that order).
With their GP appearance, I believe they are the team with the highest number of songs in their rhythm dance this season. Most teams only had 2-3, with the most common pattern being original song + slow song + original song (remix).
Should I put all of the songs from the Shibs in Shibuya RD in my master playlist? Each song only gets a small highlight, and they only did that program twice as far as I remember (with the relevant performance here being at NHK trophy) before changing to Canned Heat.
This is a very "your unemployed friend on a Tuesday" activity that I will be starting on my lunch break lol. It's going to be the Olympics, Grand Prix AND upcoming Worlds if I can do it
You know, after being subjected to death by a thousand bad music cuts I'm actually going to miss this year's 90s rhythm dance lol. I think to give it a proper send off, I need to finally make the Spotify playlist I've been meaning to make all year. Stay tuned. #figureskating
I'm getting really hyped about Prague Worlds because Boston Worlds is what brought me back into skating.
For context, this post is specifically about the upcoming RD
It's kind of wild to think that absolutely none of these juniors were alive in the 90s. Like, there's no one 25+ competing, right? #worldjfigure
I remember hearing somewhere that she originally wanted to skate to music from Cinderella, and she did skate to that music at a Japanese test event, but couldn't afford the rights? That's why the costume looks like that. Her gala performance is so much more mature while still being super cute
