I’m so glad I no longer care or watch spectator sports anymore of any kind.

They’re cute but all the going on about inclusivity is annoying.

I presume there are no lifts in ice dancing.

Now, I ask you, Mr. Nickcarraway, why would you post this?

They can do ice dance only vs pairs figure-skating, because there are no lifts or throws involved, which needs a man’s strength.

What’s going on in the world should just be hidden? Pay no attention while they are changing everything?

"Mental Illness on Ice" coming soon to a venue near you. Get your tickets now.

This is the same Finland that had their Stephen King look alike pretending he was a woman while skating in competition.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf9fFrUoSBY

The video transcript is brutal:
"With the legs of a linebacker and those huge Andre The Giant-like hands, it's like he's a scientific anomaly. It looks like a drunken Sasquatch for God sakes."

"It fell. Wow. Who didn't see this coming? With all the grace of a baby deer he's trying to stand up."

"Now, actual women who can really skate try to cover up this travesty."

BINGO. A male ice skater that does the lifts and throws has tremendous upper torso and arm strength and could probably kick your ass.

Honestly, I don't have any objections to same-sex ice-dancing or ice-skating teams - as long as they keep it clean!

However, as others here have speculated, the lack of upper-body strength in women might tend to limit their options.

By the same token, I suspect that the greater body-mass of men might also make it more difficult for man-man teams to perform some of the typical stunts.

Regards,

The Fins have a declining population. Not knowing the difference between male and female may be one of the reasons.

Good for them. They should enjoy themselves while doing what they love. Would I watch it? Yes! Once. But look at the smiles on their faces. And neither is a tranny.

Can just imagine this in the Olympics.

The Muslim countries will be sending two burqa clad beauties (won’t know if they are actually two women or two men) into the rink. Can’t show a sliver of skin, don’t ya know.

male-female pairings.

Given the current sexual proclivity of today's male skaters, I don't think there's a difference anymore.
