You Know You're a Figure Skating Fan When...

[BillNeal]

...you watch a figure skating competition streamed by a figure skater on Facebook Live from a link you found on Golden Skate.

...you are a Canadian watching US Nationals through a Chinese streamer.

You know you're a figure skating fan when you see a lady trip on her high heels and the first thing you think about is: "Yas thats a deep outside edge!"

 

[WhiteProphet]

When you post on random threads just to get the quote of comments to customize your pro pic with your favourite skater

 

[lyverbird1]

When you get giddy and excited if any of the skaters who you've befriended on Facebook give a thumbs up to any of your comments. I told Gwendal the other day that I was still insanely jealous of his hair and he liked the comment!

Adding to the B.ESP chronicles: "clean as a whistle", "to my untrained eye, that was picture perfect" and "those skills are impeccable".

Or "Oh - that's a shame" when a programme that had so much promise has a mistake...

'it was an absolute cracker' - my favourite

 

[nguyhm]

When you know who Shin Amano is.

And Google him to see how he looks like and print a picture of him to be used as a target for your darts.

[1critic]

Having a visceral reaction to any warhorse.

 

[chopinskate]

When you have unpopular opinions -- eg. I'm fine with warhorses when someone can interpret them in a different, interesting way. Too bad almost no one today could no matter how hard they tried.

VVV... Or that Kwan was never robbed.

 

[Seren]

When at the end of your life, after you've forgotten everything else, you are still complaining "Michelle was robbed!"

... This is probably going to be me in the nursing home.

 

[CreepyBug]

When you're watching Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Let's Go Crazy plays you dance on your seat because it's Yuzuru's SP

Still haven't watched The Golden Circle, but now I know what I'm gonna do this weekend!

 

[temadd]

...when watching FS, some of my favourite performances, can lift me from sadness in 4 mins

yes! Watching Ashley's Moulin Rouge at 2016 worlds is a sure way to lift my spirit.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I will be saying "Ashley should have gone to Korea 2018."

 

[TallyT]

You catch yourself wondering (with mental visuals yet) which skater would do the best version of John Cage's 4"33...

 

[GABA]

When you watch a flipped, mirrored video clip of your favorite SP just because you want to hear B.ESP uncles comments. Strangely you are not bothered by the skater's hair parting the other way.

 

[rugbyfan]

when the only video suggestions youtube has for you are skating ones

 

[BillNeal]

...you practically see a flying camel, butterfly jump, and spread eagle in every competition. Pigeon sightings may occur too, depending on the location.

 

[PinkElephants]

The only things marked on your calendar are upcoming skating comps

 

[Scout]

...you instantaneously catch any mistakes that commentators/journalists make.
