But did you spin enough before you landed on your rear end? That seems to be the key here.

edit: also apropos of nothing but melodicwaffle your av makes me want someone to do a Jojo OP skate routine. But it would need someone as fabulous as Johnny to do it, I don't think Evgenia would be enough

tbh I nominate Chan for JJBA on Ice just because he's got the intense face needed for something jojo-related down pat

Because they don't try to do things they know they can't do. Nagasu is the only one in the team event with a triple axel in her long program.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i'm gonna choreograph a routine where all of the spins feature the person taking off like like a speed skater before attempting a septuple spin and totally beefing it, 5 times in a row

i will win every event with the highest scores the skating world has ever seen

each team can swap out up to two of their competitors between the short and long. US switched out mens and women's solo but the pairs and ice dancing stayed the same.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I'm always super impressed by the technical aspects of future skating/ice dancing but I always have trouble seeing it as actually corresponding to the music.
