True, but he also has some rather disruptive ideas in energy sector in general, so I’d say he’s a revolutionary in his own regard.
I’d say Alina squeezed out absolute maximum from old point system, not just in terms of backloading bonus. She did it all to get more than +3 on every single thing, including complex entries and exits, beautiful rippons and of course her majestic spins. Judges were practically cornered to give her +3 on every jump. I’d say the expansion into +5/-5 and removal of rippon bonus is also a consequence of her skating lights out with all these things. There was simply no more room for growth in terms of GOEs, she’s done it all, so they had to think about making it more difficult to hit a maximum GOE for jumps.
however! Unlike Elon, Alina comes from a much more humble background.

I thought the same. But 2020 is going to 2020 no matter what we do or say.
So here's to the power of the skating gods triumphing over the forces of destruction

My first thought was "yeah - I'll believe it when I see it".I know in my heart this thing has a good chance of not happening because 2020 is allergic to joy, but I am going to be happy about the possibility of it for as long as possible!
But for today October 10, 2020 I'm going to let my bananas dance until the wee hours of the morning.
And continue to be "cautiously optimistic".
I would like to take this time to issue a PSA about mask wearing....

Off topic: I thought this smiley was a new version of the cheerleader smilies we already had, but only now noticed that those aren't pompoms, just it's hair? with flowers.

YouTube's algorithm thought I needed to see this video. 
Indeed, although it would be more enjoyable if I spoke Russian. Still it's a nice long highlight reel of her accomplishments and sponsors. Here is the translated description paragraph under the video - Alina Zagitova is an example of how talent, hard work and the ability to gather will into a fist lead to the heights of professional recognition. By her age, the skater has compiled an enviable list of achievements, including victories at the Olympic Games, World Championships, Europe and Russia. Alina Zagitova is the first among Russian women and the second in the world "Grand Slam", having won all possible titles in figure skating. Next, we will tell you how Alina Zagitova lives and how much she earns.
