I am only 4 out of 13, so I am safe...

Better indicators:…
You have actually kept up with the goings-on of Charlie White's and Jason Brown's hair.
Have shared publicly pictures of your favorite skater's pet
I think being registered on a FS forum is already an indication of obsession.
Better indicators:
You still debate the outcome of the Ladies Olympic event... from 1980.
You can name all the Soviet/Russian Olympic Champions, as well as the Americans and Canadians, from all skating events, off the top of your head.
Although a piece of skating music may seem original, you recall that a junior used it 20 years ago.
You're very excited when skaters from countries like Brazil qualify for the Olympics.

You care about Meryl and Maks.
Another "list" article from Buzzfeed to garner hits and cash in on the pre-Sochi hype. Note that the date of the article is February 2, 2014, well before Plushy stepped onto the ice for the men's portion of the team event.
They would have done better to ask us commentators on GS for signs of how we are obsessed. TontoK had it right. (Linda or Annett?)
I will give them props for that Lego pairs JPG, though. (Also a nice tie-in since the Lego Movie also opened the week the article was published.)
Buzzfeed and Dunkin Donuts lucked out that the ISU (if not others) only yesterday posted the old link to its Facebook page.
So Buzzfeed is getting a new wave of hits at this late date.
I am not usually one to bash the ISU right and left, but seems naive of them to give such promotion for free to a list that I doubt was written by true aficionados of the sport.
