Yes, and probably that's it.
Skaters who are not "your cup of tea"?

The name means "little lollipop" in slavic languages.
Maybe. But still have accomplished more at this point than most skaters ever do.
I still think that they are adorable, though. Have you ever watched some of their videos? They are wonderful kids

Hmmm, they are not kids anymore....
They grew out of the "cuteness" factor already...
No, they didn't. Maia looks younger than she is. They are cute.
But then the vast majority of figure skaters are very attractive. I can think of very few that aren't.
I had no idea about either of these things. I just googled gracie gold and sandwich incident. Yes, what you describe she did is racist, she is an idiot. Hopefully she will learn and grow, but you wonder where she got this from. Family, friends, television? who knows. If she's 50 and still doing these things, there isn't much hope but at 18, I'll give her a chance.

(This in reply to my earlier post on this thread that I haven't really liked any pairs teams since B/S).
Yes. Yes it is a long time. But, I want passion or beautiful artistry or originality.... hopefully all three in once, but I need SOMETHJING special.
I was raised on the Protopopovs, Irina Rodnina, B/G, G/G, M/D.... all of them brought something really special, and pairs used to be my favorite discipline.
Now, I don't actively dislike any of the current crop (meaning the last 8 years or so!), it's just that I find something missing.
Despite more tricks and danger and definitely more activity... pairs has become boring because everyone looks the same.
For example, I have the same complaint about death spirals that I have about laybacks in the ladies events. We get plenty of different positions as pairs check off the boxes for additional levels, but none of them are particularly beautiful, and they all end up looking the same. I'd much rather see a spectacularly done classic version.

Patrick Chan for sure.
What an overrated skater, cannot handle the pressure.
The Canadian federation is very aggressive in pushing him through, I actually expected them to *complain* because he did not get Gold.
And he is the most overscored skater of our times.

The suburban high school kids I taught, in a nearly all white school, regularly did stuff like that and we would have to explain why it is inappropriate and racist. They were not exposed to diversity and learned lots of stereotypes through popular culture. I'm willing to overlook it a little in teens, but she should be learning as she goes and we should stop seeing it.

Elvis Stoyko was never my cup of tea :/
ed. to add: Also that pair skating team- can't remember their names but I think the guy was a truck driver and the girl was a waitress?
waitress = Calla Urbanski
truck driver = Rocky Marval
Olympians in '92 or '94 (aging brain cells can't remember which & am too lazy to Google). They were sort of the Jamaican bobsled team of their day.

If I were her mother, I would never let her go out with those dresses.
Or maybe, I am jearous of her youth and beauty?

Rocky Marval married Isabelle Brasseur ( I loved Brasseur and Eisler back in the day). Their daughter, Gabriella Marvaldi, is a pairs skater. Junior level, I think.
