Tonight, a new French ice dance team that exists only because of the investigation and subsequent suspension of an alleged sexual abuser could win the Olympic gold medal. Here is my @usatodaysports story (no paywall):

Depressing fact: Ice Dance has been an Olympic event since 1980. The team that won the RD/SD/OD/CD has won every gold medal except 1994. Grishuk/Platov split compulsory dance with Usova/Zhulin and were third in OD and won FD and won gold medal. Thats the only time. #MilanoCortina2026

i want the backflip re-banned so this mandela effect stops happening every time someone sees a video of ilia or adam siao him fa
Surya was absolutely incredible but it was banned in 1976 after American Terry Kubicka did it at the Olympics in 1976. And though it's been unbanned, it's not considered a jump and is not evaluated as such. Malinin isn't racking up points on it. deadspin.com/no-the-backf...

Bringing your own food to Italy is a whole new level of xenophobia
Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.
“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.

Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.
Alysa Liu and world champion dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates have the Americans leading the team event after day one.

From @theathletic.com: Reports have surfaced before the Winter Olympics that allege ski jumpers are injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to fly farther. The World Anti-Doping Agency has vowed to investigate.
Are ski jumpers enhancing their penises to fly further? WADA is ready to investigate
World sport's anti-doping body has vowed to look into the lurid claims that first surfaced in a German newspaper in January.

Now is the perfect time to become an unhinged figure skating fan. It starts with watching the Olympics, then before you know it you’re planning your travel around NQS events and waking up at 2am to watch JGPs and you have strong opinions about operas you’ve never seen.
with the Olympics coming up, I cannot recommend enough just picking random sports and getting really into them at a moment's notice
did I know anything about women's foil before the last Olympics? I did not
did I become the world's biggest Lee Kiefer fan immediately? absolutely I did

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
