Is figure skating Threads a thing yet? Can we make it one? I can’t handle the former bird app, but would love a place to engage with Takes ™️ when this season gets rolling.
Figure Skating social media remains stubbornly on Twitter. I think this is because so many skating fans are international and Threads is not available in all countries. I, too, despise the Bird app. But... I find the List feature helpful on Twitter when I just want to see people who comment on skating and not really anything else. I haven't seen anything similar on Threads. But I'm willing to give it a go this year.
This notion had me chuckle-wincing: "their health has to hold out" could be added to every entry here. As a former pair skater myself here is what I want to see: a scientific analysis of pair skating injuries (frequency, impact on season, etc) against singles and dance injuries. I'm not saying that pair skaters are more resilient, brave OR klutzy: I'm just saying that this part of the sport really does feel a bit like "last athlete standing." Which is all to say: how DOES Deanna do it? I am mystified.
Awesome preview! Stories FTW.

So true! That's exactly how last Worlds felt.
I suspect Deanna does it through pilates and sheer force of will.
