Once again I must question what year it is because the Olympics are "next year"

We calculated right at the start that this must be 2026-27 (because of Halloween falling on a Saturday) so unless they're planning to change sports and compete at LA28 I'm not sure what's going on here.

I think the author just lives in an endless 'now'

What are we even doing here man

Actually 🤓 the top four pairs will be on the podium because USFSA does pewter medals

"I'm not allowed to play because I wasn't on the roster all season" YEAH FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS

listen idgaf about spoilers at this point because if you're reading this that's on you WDYM FOURTH PLACE YOU DIDNT FINISH THE FREE PROGRAM THATS A WITHDRAWAL AND ZERO MARKS why the coach had to intervene and the referee didn't stop the program themselves is a separate question but it does not change the outcome.

A "serpentine lift" is a dance lift, not a pairs lift.

Also. Why can they hear this commentary at the arena. I tried my best to interpret this as some creative choice with an unseen character watching a stream but I can't go on like this.

Why are they going into the free programs on the same day none of this makes any sense I feel like I'm experiencing psychosis

I KNOW YOU'RE SKATING TO WICKED BUT YOU CANT WEAR GREEN FACE PAINT THATS A COSTUME VIOLATION FOR GARISH AND THEATRICAL

I know I should be well beyond analysing the rulebook at this point but also it has only just now occurred to me that you CAN'T SWAP OUT PARTNERS HALFWAY THROUGH A SEASON THATS NOT HOW QUALIFYING COMPETITIONS WORK!! If Alexa and Charlie qualify for Nats, that's not Alexa and Frankie. That's a different team. This isn't hockey where you can substitute players

"the newly release PlayStation console" ok so now it's 2020? Unless you're talking about the PS5 Pro??
