“Overscored” when Mone got mid-8s in PCS. Let’s Dream Bigger. Anna got 9s for programs w/ 2 falls & 3 smoke breaks. All bc she had poppers up her nose & a song in her heart. Zhenya got 10s for her moving portrayal of Tower Two. Give Mone a 15 & Patrick Chan’s real estate license.

(getting on the soapbox again) i keep seeing the most vile things said abt female skaters bc “the other side did it first!!” but the truth is you cannot justify the harmfulness of your own rhetoric by claiming original sin. this is an equation where everyone loses!

Replying to @ISU_Figure
The mental toughness needed to conquer the ice, or conquer the horrendous actions by the audience that still go unaddressed? I cannot believe the timing of this post. Read the room.

"fans" who want their skaters to be sad and frustrated and angry in a toxic environment where they are isolated from their peers and exploited for viewership numbers and money do you guys hear yourselves

also i just want to add that a healthy social environment is not mutually exclusive with competitive ambition. but it does help to reduce the mental toll that ambition like that takes on the skaters

strong camaraderie is so important in sport, yes for the joy of it all, but also because it creates an environment where athletes can be empowered. isolating athletes (esp young girls) is a tool that makes it easier to take advantage of them. this culture shift can also help /1
oh take me back to the start (22-26 quad)🥹

i'm so glad the three women's medallists demonstrated this support between them. there can still be legitimate criticism and it doesn't have to mean they're all friends but it draws a clear line that shows competitive rivalry doesn't have to come with personal animosity

and it doesn't negate any other questionable things any of them may have done but clearly this is such an important message to send and i'm glad they made it happen
