Russian skaters all have the same coach: Eteri Tuberidze. And they all injure out, or retire by age 17.

Like gymnastics - smaller body mass allows better performance so let’s install age discrimination to put an end to that 🤪

Another solution: Go back to requiring skating figures as part of the score! Yeah, they are boring to watch but they teach a fluid grace and require a level of concentration and attention to detail few teens excel at.

Figure skating has become “Jumping On Ice”. It has become gymnastics instead of ballet...

Just end it already. Olympics are nothing but political theater.

75% of girls are automatically eliminated from medaling in some Olympic sports because they were born in the wrong year. I hear that some former gymnasts and skaters make sure to have babies (hopefully daughters) in the right years so that they will be at the best age in an Olympic year.

Lia Thomas On Ice. Coming to a skating rink near you. Game over

Seriously....the quad has ruined all skating. The programs have become incredibly boring as all energy must go in to spinning 4 times (which doesn’t have any more program appeal than a double or triple jump combo performed flawlessly)

OK.

When will they likewise do this for gymnastics?

It really should be for all Olympics.

“Anna Shcherbakova...”

Looks like a 12 year old pre puberty.
Somehow women’s sports are more f’d up than men’s sports.

Olympics should only include objectively score or measured events.

There are plenty of skating competitions elsewhere.

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

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.

Peggy Fleming was beautiful, and never did more than a double anything.
