2024 World Championships Women's Free Skate

The problem isn't that fans are putting pressure on Amber. Figure skaters (and all athletes) have had pressure put on them for years between fans, coaches, federations, leagues, teammates, themselves, and more.

The problem is that Amber needs to learn to learn how to handle this pressure.

Amber is not the first and won't be the last to fail. Every athlete goes through this.

As for the fans, I have a number of friends who watch football, baseball, basketball, and other sports, and the things they say in their reactions are way more blunt and fiery than what has been posted here.

People being outright mean isn't okay just because football fans do it too. Lots of things that are not okay are considered normal.

Impressive skate by Chaeyeon

 

[Weetos]

Clean skate clean skate

 

[Jontor]

Wow! Great stuff Chaeyeon! Come on judges, give her the PCS...

 

[GGFan]

Congrats to Chaeyeon for her clean program! I've always felt like this music was too heavy for her, but it does make her stand out. I really enjoy some of the unique choices she makes. I just want her to work on her expression.

 

[CellarDweller]

Great skate, Chaeyeon!

 

[Paulipau]

Technically almost flawless.

She connects to the music I wish there was more presence

 

[auser]

Beautiful skate from Kim.

 

[readernick]

Not sure she deserves the PCS in this program. But, how impressive was that given how she's looked in practices!

 

[Sabsi]

Wow, Chaeyeon, wow!!!

True, but whatever they say about say, one of the Kelce brothers is unlikely to get back to them and if it does they probably won’t care. Our skaters read a lot of what is posted on their social media. The circle is much smaller. Also compared to other sports there are very few skating competitions. I’m not sure it is a great argument to say “other sports fans are crummy so we should be crummy also.”

As another commentator would say : "She's made it a full house !"

Chaeyeon. Beautiful dress. Lovely program and skate. All greens.

 

[TontoK]

I absolutely LOVE how she just served notice to the frontrunners.

You're not going to be able to back into the podium. You've got to go for it.

Gutsy. Good for her.

 

[labgoat]

Oh don't cry honey - you did it. You skated great!

 

[museksk8r]

Kim, that was exquisite! Good girl!

 

[bartlebooth]

[ana]

That's was beautiful. Pretty dress, good spins, transition, jumps. Well done Chaeyeon!

 

[FlossieH]

I'm struggling to stay awake, and it's nothing to do with the quality of the skating.
