My favorite piece of Olympic promotional art- printed in 1974 so maybe it's Dorothy Hammill?
Promotional poster for the 1980 WInter Olympics in Lake Placid. A photomontage skater doing a layback spin in five sequences in black/cyan/magenta/yellow shades.

Blue sea slugs found in the coastal waters of Japan!

These beautiful little tidepooling companions are, for me, the true representatives of Japan’s marine life 🫧 ͛.*

I'm going to answer this question *and* give you a sneak peak of my wrap-up blog post in progress 😂

If you watch men's figure skating long enough you will encounter a curious term: Menning. If there was an Oxford Dictionary of Sporting Terms, it would be defined as: 1. Noun: an erratic men's figure skating competition with surprise results. Often characterized by multiple skaters demonstrating falls, pops, and total performance meltdowns 2. Verb: to completely unravel in one's program despite talent and training The accompanying photo would be either a summary of the 2014 Sochi Men's free skate score sheet, or Denis Ten waving from the bronze medal step on the podium from the same competition. As of today, we need to update the reference photo on both counts.

#Olympics ⛸️ Me to my favorite sport: "Now, the world only watches you once every four years, so I need you to be on your best behavior."

My favorite sport:

No but you see the Olympic favourite curse will not affect the women’s event, because there are too many favourites competing for that same energy which means it’ll all cancel out–

Spoken like someone locked in a poorly ventilated room.
Headline from The Telegraph of an idiotic piece by Matt Ridley: CO2 is simply not a danger to human health, and it's actively good for crops.

While everyone is still thinking about men’s skating, here’s the best short program of the year that unfortunately wasn’t at the Olympics. Kazuki Tomono’s That’s It (I’m Crazy!) is a masterpiece of fun and artistry.

Countdown to when people start pretending they knew Mikhail was a threat for gold but just never said it out loud or wrote it down for... Reasons.

idk whose idea it was to hold a men’s figure skating competition on Friday the 13th when your average men’s competition is like watching 24 nervous, skittish horses fighting for their lives at the best of times

The men’s figure skating results have to be up there with the strangest outcomes in Olympic history.

Forget Malinin. Literally nobody was in the top 4 for both programs.

figure skating doesn’t feel fun to follow. too subjective for a sport but you have to fit into sport narratives. everyone talking about it seem kinds miserable all the time.

I think there was too much negative information during the last couple of days, with the disqualification of Vladyslav Heraskevych and the IOC situation. It feels like the IOC is completely against us Ukrainians, they want to cancel everything Ukrainian.
