Worlds is almost here!

There will be something new to talk about that is not:

*Adelina
*YuNa
*Olympic judging
*Johnny's divorce.

:yay:

I think one day we'll all look back on this scoring "controversy" and laugh. But it will be exciting to talk about new "controversies" after worlds.

I'm pumped. I made sure I got Thursday off of work so I can stay up all night watching...hopefully not on an iPhone again.

The last one, though. :bang: I am so excited for worlds!

I'm sure that we'll still be treated to "Gracie is the most beautiful person on planet earth!!!!!!" throughout Worlds.

Unfortunately, I will be here hoping that all the good GS internet sleuths find youtube videos for those of us without Universal or $ to pay for Ice Network. :)

I still think, in the blonde white girl field, looking purely superficially through white guys' eyes, Kiira is prettier... so while I think Gracie is pretty, we have yet to find a successor of Kiira.

I hope that you did not mean any harm, but am I the only one who finds this post quite offensive? "Blonde white girl field ... through white guys' eyes"??? Yikes. :bang:

Wrong on multiple levels, IMO.

Sorry if it did. I did want to deflect the matter from Gracie's looks, as it seemed to go that way. I guess it didn't work :(

Totally offensive. Yuck! :disapp:

Unless of course Johnny makes a controversial comment as a commentator at Worlds and the judging once again is like 2013 Men's Event... :biggrin:

Apology accepted.

And I share your distaste for sky_fly's incessant hyping of Gold's looks -- which is demeaning both to her and to other young ladies.

Wishful thinking on your part. What I am more sure about though is 20 years from now you will still be on a random internet forum somewhere trying desperately to convince everyone around Adelina deserved to win her Olympic Gold even in a thread about a pre novice event somewhere which nobody is discussing her on, lol!

I think we'll all be thankful if Mao or Carolina win a world title. If Julia wins, oh goodness...not another Russian skater. I think that would leave a sour taste in many mouths.

You're kidding, right? Just like people are still guffawing over SLC--another laff riot, huh. Scoring controversies are just comedy central. :sarcasm: Yup, judging controversies...The Three Stooges....judging controversies...The Three Stooges...Same difference!

And if the Russian skater skates better than the others?

Oh wait, I forgot. No Russian skater can possibly skate better than The Precious Ones.


Anyway, ~I~ am thankful that we get Dani and Greg and Brooklee in one last outing this season, and thankful that Brendan is taking the time he needs to see a sports psychiatrist, get his head together and recover from his crazy long season.
