The coach helping with the choreography asked me what sit spin โ›ธ๏ธ I can do. I showed him this. That's how I found out it actually counts as a level 2 spin ๐Ÿ˜ฏ on the sit position it's not 3 rotations so I'd get a V, but still #figureskating

Yesterday I *might* have taken down some notes and came up with an additional Chris Howarth's bingo card of my own. You're welcome ๐Ÿค— #figureskating #GPFigure #GPFRA

This activity is addictive. I now want to glue rhinestones everywhere โœจ๐Ÿชฉ๐Ÿ’Ž like, on my skating headband. On my skating gloves. What about somewhere on my bike? Hold on, the shoes. My sunglasses!!!

Me trying to make sense of a forward outside left 3 turn, followed by backward inside right change of edge to outside, step in front left, and repeat on the other leg. Haven't felt so stupid since trying to understand Immanuel Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason"

This is ๐Ÿคฏ Green is always inside edge, orange outside. The arrows show the direction of my eyes. The grey is the transition step(s) from one side to the other

Eteri's โ›ธ๏ธ skaters follow the same pattern of victims of domestic abuse: they try to break free but they often ended up going back to their captor

Back to the coach who doped her when she was a minor, by the way. How could you train under the one who ruined you in the first place?!? This season has barely started and I'm sick of this circus already

It's official: I have a โ›ธ๏ธ skating competition in December. I've chosen the music, I'm looking at outfits and next week it's choreography time. Current mood:

Nope. Blades had to be retired as well ๐Ÿชฆ๐Ÿฅ€

โ›ธ๏ธ Steps are so confusing ๐Ÿ˜ญ wdym right forward inside 3 turn, left forward outside (inside? Go figure!) edge, right inside mohawk, right backward outside edge, left forward outside edge, forward crossover, and then... the same on the opposite foot... Just ๐Ÿคฏโ˜ ๏ธ

The ice rink has been insanely freezing this week. The statement "the cold never bothered me anyway" is not true anymore. Toodaloo to my toes โ›ธ๏ธ๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿชฆ

Kamila's & Benoit's "Mamma La Rondinella" โ›ธ๏ธ SP feels a bit of cultural appropriation. Hold your pitchforks: it's always a tad cringe when skaters perform to folk music of a foreign country-Gubanova's bindi ๐Ÿ˜ฌ? However, tarantella dance is not a *national* tradition, it is of 1 of Italy's 20 regions

I used the expression "cultural appropriation" with intent: often Southern Italy regions are negatively depicted for being lazy, indulgent, edonistic, when they simply enjoy life as one should, without conforming to capitalist expectations. It's something to treasure, but sadly negatively connotaded

In that sense I perceive Kamila's music choice and, frankly, horrid interpretation, as an act of disrespect rather than appreciation. My Italian guts are upset. Not approved ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป

Therefore it's drastically intimate; what the tradition means to people from Puglia eludes even people like me from the Dolomites. Then again, maybe I'm prejudiced against the Russians. Or just a bitter old hag who's less open-minded than she thinks. I don't know...

New obsession unlocked. I did some digging: the choreographer is Andrea Venturi, founder of Ghiaccio Spettacolo, a production company behind live ice shows, where Carolina Kostner is always the star. You're welcome

PSA, errata corrige: Carolina Kostner IS Gioia's choreographer. I KNEW IT the moment I saw how Gioia was moving her arms and hands and hips to the music beat, the "miming" of the lyrics, down to the word. Tears of pure joy down my cheeks ๐Ÿฅฒ

Gioia Fiori โ›ธ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น beautifully skated to "Mamma La Rondinella", making me think "this girl is so elegant and expressive and hits every note, she reminds me of Carolina." Then at the K&C, lo and behold ๐Ÿคฉ
