do the ferrari girlies even know WHY Ferrari is red? it’s red because way back in the day (until like 1960s) fia dictated teams had to race with colors according to the country they’re from. Italy was red, Germany white or silver, France blue, UK green, etc.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you truly think abuse is purely concentrated in Russia, you need to wake up.
It’s never just been Eteri, nor has it only been Russia. Eteri is merely the product of systemic abuse that’s gone unchecked within this sport for too long.
People are advocating for a boycott and to stream on shady sites? Streaming illegally is morally wrong and a sin.
If you knew anything about economics, you’d know you’re hurting the people who work at F1.
If you like something, either buy it or don’t watch at all.
If you have Netflix, you can add Sehun's variety show to your List and be notified when it is finally released! It's apparently going to be called "Busted!" In English
What’s particularly frustrating about seeing the PCS awarded versus what was put on the ice last night is nowhere does the rulebook state that you should earn more than someone else purely because you can land quads.
nothing says girl power like protecting a predator and getting the woman who reported harassment done by your husband suspended. bang-up job there, Tory spice.
Ainda de acordo com a imprensa britânica, e como relatado pelo repórter da Band, Felipe Kieling, a suspensão aconteceu por pedido da esposa de Horner, a ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

The way athletes like Nathan Chen, Yuzuru Hanyu, and Jason Brown have discussed how they’re legitimately scared to catch COVID-19 and are double masking and doing everything they can while Russian athletes aren’t even wearing their goddamn masks on the plane
horner tells the world to leave his family out of it and then will spend tomorrow yanking tory spice around the paddock and kissing her in front of the cameras lol and perhaps lmao
The thing that particularly angers me about this is that we all know NBC didn’t upload this with anything more than to get more clicks from incredibly vulnerable moments in each of the girls’ lives. Because that’s all those moments are to NBC.
Zhenya is disabled. In her own words, she’s living with chronic pain resulting from her injury that limits the mobility of the left side of her body. And it was entirely preventable if the adults around her hadn’t failed her.
I don’t think enough people realize that we witnessed trauma responses from a driver on Sunday… and while he’s openly talking about how that event is still affecting him, some people are making fun of him for having those very real reactions…
still can’t believe some of y’all got so upset over a girl celebrating her boyfriend’s bday that you mass reported the post to get it taken down, and when it did, people went wild on here about “omg did they break up?!” & made her have to post that it’d been taken down twice now
I am begging people to understand that PCS ≠ jumping content. PCS is based on skating skills, and having good skating skills is actually extremely difficult. Valuing it based on whether the skater is jumping a quad is exactly what’s wrong with the judging.
The difference is that Eteri has normalized her abuse to the point to where she can speak on it openly to the media every time she opens her mouth. But make no mistake: abuse happens everywhere in this sport.
Checo literally said he would hate to lose to a girl and that women should stick to the kitchen when asked about the possibility of having a female teammate in reference to Susie Wolff and then played it off like he was just joking and didn’t mean harm by it.
And he’s pro-life.
Seeing this absolutely breaks my heart.
For a reference, I am pretty sure this is what the move is supposed to be (fancam recorded by Nikitos.FigureSkating on YT) as performed at Test Skates 2021.
Seeing some people continue to laugh over the HD SK collision is atrocious considering alternate camera angles show it looked like Zach also copped a feel, and anyone laughing at that is laughing at a girl who was just assaulted on live television.
Critiquing a skater ≠ attacking them personally. For the millionth time since we’re all about to see the same responses that happens after one of the Eteri girls skates.
never forget Daniil was quite literally on suicide watch after a quali in 2016. In fact, the paddock wasn’t sure he’d even turn up on race day. So like, maybe Christian should shut the fuck up and let the man tell his truth. It ain’t hurting anybody.
I’m SO proud of all the Ukrainian athletes. I can’t begin to imagine the stress they’re all under and to still go out there and perform such meaningful skates
The fact that they don’t want Aliona discussing her injury is kind of mind boggling. It’s terrifying to think about what could be so horrific for the public to know about her injury that they want her keeping quiet and not discussing it
so carlos blames pierre for being on a fast lap… during quali… a time when you’re allowed to be doing fast laps… but also blames yuki because yuki happened to be on track at the same time as him…
do they touch on their very own skater going to train with her coach only to end up banned because he missed not one, not two, but three random doping tests while training with this same coach?
Hold the presses: this IS a big story in Italy, host of the next Winter Games. Friend sent me this page from today’s issue of Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport:
The fact that people think Kamila chose this… we have a mountain of evidence that indicates these girls have zero choice in their programs. Look at any Aliona interview post-Sambo and you’ll see.
Her axis has largely been hidden by convenient camera angles, but it’s been like this all season. When I say her Axel terrifies me, this is what I mean
everyone feigning concern over this as if this isn't how her 3a has looked literally all season. there was a video of her from the kras training before test skates that looked legit exactly like this
Regardless of it being ChSq or StSq, it’s almost entirely 2-footed skating, a single flip, random arm movements that look like he’s trying to conduct the imaginary orchestra (badly mind you), and like a spread Eagle. Is that supposed to be pushing the sport further?
PCS doesn’t care about quads at all. If you want to land quads but have a simpler layout to do it, that’s fine, but you shouldn’t get a PCS bump as well. What’s worse is the ISU’s eLearning seminar video even spends a solid episode on the topic of bias in judging.
in case you didn’t know, the kid here is arthur dorison, the 2022 fia karting academy winner and 2022 ffsa volant d’or awardee. and pierre is a personal sponsor of his and is very much involved with mentoring him in his budding career.
@racingwithro
and the funniest part is a tie between charles telling the gretchen wieners of the grid and it not leaking immediately and piero telling fabio only for him to not get it and not tell anyone 😭
i for one think it’s awfully poetic that he’s complaining about bronze in the team event while he hoists a flag that’s meant to signify Russia’s punishment for the Sochi doping scandal. like read the room. read a book (I hear the Rodchenkov affair is lovely this time of year).
this shouldn’t be spicy, but to a specific demographic it is: kamila is a minor, but if ISU told 13-year-old yelim that she’s held to the same doping regulations as adults competing, then the same holds true for kamila.

Friendly reminder that Adelina Sotnikova was scammed out of over 25 grand from an Instagram fortune teller who said they’d do a spell to make her boyfriend come back to her 😌
It’s actually a shame how the judging system encouraged him to abandon everything else for the quads because think of what kind of skater he could’ve been if he’d had incentive to actually grow his skating skills on top of his quads
The only fucking reason USFS held this event was because they knew they’d take a loss financially, and that’s so disgusting. They weren’t remotely prepared for this event and they’re creating a superspreader event as a result.
The fact that
@TedBarton7
blocked a fan after legitimately and politely asking him to use his voice to advocate for skaters proves his complicitness in the dangerous behaviors many adults exhibit in this sport.
while Daniel is running around spouting pro-Eteri and pro-Russia propaganda, don’t forget an ukrainian pairs skater was killed by Russians a few days ago and that WADA is conducting their own probe into rusada’s decision over Valieva
too many people on this app refuse to realize that there are plenty of other abusers beyond Eteri in this sport, and yes that includes that [redacted] coach too many think highly of (or just think he’s hot) that’s literally admitted to using abusive measures in interviews.
every now and then I remember that there’s people who actually think that pierre is a dick, and I just wonder what world they’re living in when this is the guy they’re saying is a dick
Eteri: “Zagitova came as a not very skilled girl, but she was very fit and proportioned. We had a condition that her mother would not live in Moscow until the Olympic medal - and her mother endured. And then her mother came, and Alina immediately became a mother's daughter"
