Here's a crazy prediction story (please remember it doesn't have to be logical at all lol):
The year is 2038. The figure skating event at the Dubai Winter Olympics is about to start.
Alex Shibutani and Ashley Wagner have replaced Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir as NBC's special commentators long ago, after the infamous "Beijing Backstab" in 2022, where Johnny allegedly made a deal with the Russians to secretly commentate for both Match Arena and NBC. Needless to say, the consequences weren't pretty.
Daisuke Hanyu, the son of Yuzuru Hanyu, is the new skating legend, who beat his father's records no less than four times already. His coach, Denis Ten, is confident that he will do it again this time, yet both are somewhat intimidated by an Australian skater who seems to have his eyes set on the podium. Quintuple jumps are an ordinary thing and not being able to do a 5T means you're far out of top 10.
Meryl and Ben White started in ice dance, but switched to pair skating because they felt like they needed more adrenaline in their lives. They are now the fans' top pick to win these Olympics.
The families of previous elite skaters make up one third of the audience. The section where they sit is filled with laughter and chatter, everyone remembering the good old times. Skaters catch up on each others' lives, and here's what they learn about each other:
Guillaume Cizeron has opened a ballet school and travels around the world with his team.
Satoko Miyahara is huge in Asia because of her ice cream company.
Shoma Uno is the new CEO of KOSE. They plan to reboot the Team Challenge Cup again, after two failed attempts, this time bringing in a live circus.
Adam Rippon is a renowned choreographer, and he has created programs for Daisuke Hanyu, Maxim Trankov, Jr., and multiple Russian ladies (no one knows how many), including Masha Ge.
Gracie Gold is the manager of the Golden Girls, a world-famous Synchro team.
Alex Shibutani, as mentioned before, commentates for NBC sometimes, yet his main job is his business. He adores his three children, two of whom are professional hockey players.
His sister Maia is the head of the Women's Sports Foundation, and is happily married to Denis Ten (I ship them!!).
Javier Fernandez is the Vice-President of the ISU. His wife Miki is the President of the JSF.
Boyang Jin switched to tennis after retirement. The balls still fly into the crowd more often than not.
Evgenia Medvedeva draws anime and her anime about figure skating is amazingly popular in Japan and the rest of the world.
Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov are married. They have exceptionally beautiful children.
Tarasova still commentates all events for Russian TV. The only person still coaching is Marina Zoueva, who hopes to have her 8th Olympic Gold winners in ice dance at these games.
This was supposed to be a sweet and funny write-up but I think I tried too hard to be logical
Someone help me out!
and he is one of the openly gay world/olympic champions Canada has (insert tewksbury, buttle, orser and radford here to name a few)
topic: I saw an interview with Veronik Mallet, and she was speaking in French with quite the Quebecois accent, so I think she is Francophone. Patrick's French is quite good, but not nearly as thick as Veronik, so I suspect it is an acquired language for him.
