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.

hey isu here's an interesting competition format: an invite-only comp for the top 18 skaters on the world standings list with no country quota limitations. happening once every two years (not coinciding with WTT)
“I should have been resting, but I couldn’t. It was a horrible feeling. If my skates had been there, they could have taken those too.” Niina Petrokina shared that someone broke into her room just hours before her free skate at the Olympics

hiding food is very classic ED behavior btw.
also why on earth did she even consider removing the blanket after a minor said she's changed clothes (is probably undressed) in front of a male coach?!
or why are they entering their student's room without knocking???
so what happens when i do have the SRY gene, but it's inactive (Swyer syndrome)?
ooorrrr I have the SRY gene but also androgen insensitivity syndrome?
what happens when i have congenital adrenal hyperplasia and my testosterone levels are high and my genitalia are also ambiguous
Transgender Working Group: The IOC published a statement on "the protection of the female category" to implement SRY gene testing for the 2028 Olympics, it's the "most accurate and least intrusive test to identify biological sex at birth" - it may progress depending on what science and research shows in the future

We have to admire Chaeyeon's dedication throughout the years, including her rising in the ranks as a novice and junior, and starting to skate at a serious level at only 10-years-old!
someone explain to me how can a judge be accurate but unfair?
like if i accurately apply the judging criteria to the element how could that make my judgement anything but fair?
perhaps inconsistent vs consistent would've been better than accurate vs inaccurate
The tool evaluates judging on two main criteria: Accuracy and fairness; the main source of unfairness in figure skating is same-nation judging

with all due respect... more than half of the skaters do not attend school regularly and show alarming signs of literacy issues.
on the other hand... the problem with the FS rules isn't their complexity, it's their vagueness and lack of precise language.
“Right now, our rules are so complex that some recently retired skaters have told me they can’t figure them out.” ISU President named simplifying figure skating rules as a key objective

a person could comprehend 100% of the written text, but still not be able to explain what does "very good length" and "very good height" mean. quantifiable language is what brings clarity and understanding, not simplification and dumbing things down
i love how the ISU president was 99% emotionally detached from his congressional speech.
"very inspiring 😐" after a supposedly inspiring video made me burst into laughter 😭
come on man.. put your back into it
The Rhythmic Gymnastics Ukrainian National Team training facility (October Palace) was bombed on May 25th, on the eve of the RG European Championships, where ruzzia was allowed to compete with their anthem and flag.
This hall has been a home to legends like Bessonova, Godunko, Rizatdinova and many other past, current and promising stars of the Deriugina School.
I grew up watching hours of footage filmed in these walls.
with the involvement of national pride and govt in RG—kabaeva being p's mistress—tell me that this was a mere coincidence and not at all politically motivated to send a very particular message
