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

Just have a figure skating competition where the prettiest outfit wins a medal. Everyone else gets a participant trophy.

Eliminate ice and blade skates. They can just run around and make tiny jumps a couple of inches off the floor. A La Benny Hill.

Lol, but we need action. I,suggest the crowd gets to throw footballs at the skaters when they are least expecting it. The one who catches the most wins-
or have a game of Dodgeball while they are skating.

Bring back barrel jumping!
To: CondoleezzaProtege
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.

Apparently it’s not only that they are Quads...but they are being sloppily done technique wise — but points are there because of the perceived difficulty. That’s also angering people.
To: Bob434
I’m thinking full contact golf.

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.

“...big fat old fatties like me...”
LOL. Very refreshing to see some good old fashioned self-deprecating humor.
