I was reading through the Cup Of Russia thread and several posters talked about Mariah Bell "Eating Ice Cream" What does that mean? Are they talking about her weight? If so, I'd like to see these posters receive a warning. I truly hope I'm wrong in my thinking because I consider this site to be a "Safe Place" for people to read the comments and not feel attacked in any way.
From what I gather, they had some very good ice cream in the kiss and cry, which Mariah had fun sampling. Someone who got to watch will confirm, I'm sure!
An ice cream company was one of the event sponsors so there was a stack of ice cream bars at the kiss and cry for the skaters.

American Mariah Bell sits third after solid short program | NBC Sports
American Mariah Bell was third after the short program at the 2021 Rostelecom Cup, earning a season-best 69.37. She ended up fourth overall in the final stan...
Thank Goodness. My faith is restored.
Posters (and I don’t remember if here or another forum) have been going on and on about Alysa eating ice cream and how they will never become Olympic champion because of ice cream and needs to lose weight. I went off about it so it had to be here as I don’t post in the other place.
See I don’t know how to find it anymore, I’m not that great with IG but they said something about “they didn’t do figure skating anymore.” I’m paraphrasing because I can’t find it.
This is so disappointing. Don't these people realize that these skaters are doing everything in their power to be ready for this Olympic Season. I find this behavior truly shameful.
We all kept seeing the treats and guessing it was ice cream and finally found out it was when the Canadians finally ate one in view. Moskvina & students had a small party. Mariah was the last skater to skate and grabbed a bunch and laughed, but later put all but one back. I wonder if she had requests from her friends. It was all in good fun during the competition threads. Outside of those threads, I don't know what was said, but I'm sure someone was small and petty about the partakers.
What was it???
As much as I love Gracie and admire her perserverence, the USFSA can't just throw out it's selection criteria to put her on the Olympic team with one strong performance at Nationals (assuming she could even somehow obtain a qualifying score). I hope she continues to build on her previous event and posts strong scores so she can compete in international events if she decides to continue beyond Beijing.
Gracie making the team is realistically microscopic. she has given USFS *zero* reason to believe she can contend. even if she medals at nationals, there's no way they'd consider her especially when they left Amber off the world team last year who is eons ahead of Gracie.
I agree. Look at Ross Miner ( Before the scandal ) he finished with the Silver in 2018 and still didn't get on the team. For Gracie to make the team, our top 3 would have to have the worst skates of their careers. I know that sounds harsh but, I think Gracie needs to be realistic in her expectations. She's made big strides this year and she is the same age as Jason Brown. If she wants to continue after the Olympics, I'll cheer for her.
Ah the Canadians - Michael now probably has endorsements in Russia. But seriously Mariah has just written herself in as a contender no longer pretender for Beijing. Mariah, Bradie if well, Karen, Lindsay and maybe Amber are fighting for two spots after the Queen Alyssa. Though I think Amber could close that door if she skates poorly at Golden Spin.
There is SO much on the line for Amber at Golden Spin. They said the reason she didn't make the World Team last year after winning the Silver was her lack of international success. It would be huge if she can skate well, win or lose, if she skates to clean programs it will definitely help her cause.
