I actually met an arbitrary self imposed deadline a thing I almost never manage to do - go me!

This is the FINAL time I will explain the difference between ice dance and pairs. Ice dancers have wider, U-shaped snouts, while pair skater snouts are more pointed and V-shaped. Pair skaters prefer saltwater habitats, while ice dancers inhabit freshwater marshes and lakes.

I saw several people asking about a Figure Skating starter pack, so here you go! The focus of this pack is accounts that post about FS often and that have either been active here for awhile, or that I recognize from twt. I’ll add more people over the next few weeks.

For US figure skating fans, start times for streaming Finlandia Trophy:
