My takeaways from this Free Dance comp is that I still don’t like Bock, long skirts stress the heck out of me and Genya and Geoffrey deserve so much better #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Everything is miserable and I am sad.
Lopareva/Brissaud's opening stationary lift looks like it might have come down more quickly than it should've - currently called as a level 1 and will get a review

#SkateAmerica has been plenty unhinged already so I'm happy to dramatically sacrifice the US and Canadian ice dance teams for a Lopareva/Brissaud gold #GPFigure

Sometimes at the end of a figure skating event my dad will ask "Did you enjoy that?" and it never ceases to send me into a kind of mini existential crisis
Did I enjoy that pairs event? Is this what enjoyment feels like? Should I have finished my PhD? #SkateAmerica #GPFigure
