Raising the age limit for figure skating (and all sports) could end the era of child molestation passing as coaching.

Here is one, but I swear it wasn’t quite like this….maybe I just remember poorly. Plus it says 1993!

There was at least one more but it doesn’t come up easily and I don’t recall the sports.

“You know you guys are just parroting that series of commercials a decade back, right?”

Probably. When my friends and I are playing golf, it would be a disservice to keep quiet during a swing. On many occasion, on the green we keep saying under our breath, “yips.” We play to have fun. None of us shoot under 90, so we all know no one is getting a tour card anytime soon.

My good friend actually got mad at me when I said "pressure putt" before one of his. :)

Figure skating can be very cruel to overweight young boys. I think there should be an Olympic category dedicated just for them and the young man below definitely has earned a trophy in my book.

Once trannies enter the field of women’s figure skating - and it’s coming - the quad will be required to get on the medal stand.

Nathan Chen is 22 and lands quads with ease - he’s even called the “quad king.”

Already have plans. Won't be able to see any of it. That's a shame.

“Seriously....the quad has ruined all skating”

Agreed. The only skating I watch any more is ice dance. Even too many throws in pairs.
