I think my original comment was light-hearted. Who did you feel like that or my reply to your comment was passive-aggressive towards? I mean, is general criticism of an event passive-aggressive to you?Then why are you posting in the "Let's Focus on the GOOD" thread with snark (they didn't die) and two good items bookended by a litany of complaints?
Don't you think that's rather passive-aggressive?
Man, this thread is suddenly in need of joy.
It surely brought me joy to see Kaori's JOY!!!!!!!!!!
To go back to the original question which was, as I seem to recall, about the best interactions between skaters or skaters and coaches from these Games:
1. Alysa Liu's fairy stylist team.
2. Yuzuru's heartfelt congratulations to Nathan on his OGM (and to other competitors as well).
3. Nathan and Sasha T. always rooting for each other in the spirit of the true quadders' solidarity.
4. All the pairs' medalists congratulating and hugging each other just after the results were announced.
5. Ever so nice and friendly vibe in the Men's green room throughout the competition (no drama attitude noted and highly appreciated!).
6. Oh, and Mark K. saving Yuzuru from an accident during their warm-up! Bravo!
I would usually sort of take these things for granted but. as it is now, I think they need to be much more stressed, highlighted and appreciated. So thank you so much for starting this thread! Balm to our souls!
Jason is just a very special person. Remember how kind he was to Evgenia Medvedeva when they were newbies training at the Cricket Club.I am told that from the entire American contingent, Brown was the only one to applaud after Trusova’s skate. If so, he gets points for sportsmanship.
She is one of my favorite pair ladies; I am withholding judgment until all the information is in — and probably after!!Well, that didn't last long.
I know, wasn't that amazing?! I'm sure it will be one of her most special memories of the whole Olympics!Yes, she had nothing prepared including a dress!

For those who have never had the good fortune to meet Jason in person, he's the same lovely, kind, effusive person. He actually stood up and hugged every single person in the line when they reached him (for autograph signing/ meet and greet after an event). U.S. fed officials had to enlist Adam to drag Jason off the ice away from fans after a victory ceremony at the same event. Jason was trying his best to sign as many autographs, shake hands, hug, and speak to all the fans standing at rink side. He couldn't tear himself away from giving of himself to his fans, even after all he'd given to us during his performances that evening!
My son and I had the same experience at the Skating Spectacular in San Diego… and my son recognized him at Hamilton a couple of years ago and went up and had a wonderful extended conversation with him as the theater emptied
