1996 World figure skating championships REJUDGED!
final results are based on who I was able to see both sp and lp. I have VHS tapes of the tv broadcasts!
All spins and footwork were B or 1 level exception 1 spin from Galindo was a 2 because it deserved more. #Figureskate #ISU

Kaori Sakamoto FreeSkate looks so “EXPENSIVE”. She was stunning at 🇯🇵 national championships. Now 6x national champion. The world will once again be reminded how good she is. Chances of building on her singles event Olympic bronze in Beijing 4 years ago all but gone! #Olympics

That lion king short for Maddie Schizas .. you can’t convince me that at #FinlandiaTrophy #Finlandia her performance and composition was a 7.00 or even in the 7s period.. RIDICULOUS. She performed the hell out of that. MARK HER CORRECTLY! #GPFigure

One of the most fascinating true documentary style books I’ve read. This is why I oppose Russians in the Olympics and competing. The man behind the gigantic Sochi doping scandal. #Olympics #Figureskating

The Italian judge marking them like they didn’t make a major mistake on.. USA judge marking the sibs as they’re gods second coming.. what planet was that a 80 plus dance. Meanwhile 5e Japanese and Finnish judge wants to send them back to retirement 😂🤣. The score spread is WILD #NHK杯フィギュア

scoring was most unpredictable thing I’ve seen this quad. Wild! My takes.. honestly.. loved Fear/Gibson..so great for Reed/Amb..LFB/GC..4 Points over scored…Davis/Smolkin skated great..G/F.. crazy low score, he was better than her..needs work but score way too low.. NEVER has 🇬🇪beat 🇮🇹 #GPFigure

This is insane.. Gregory needs to go back and watch his skate again Li. Did Li have the tech content? No.. was it clean? Yes. Was PCS lightyears better than Reshtenko? Yes, spins infinitely better too adding GOE where Gregory lost GOE. Absolutely correct placements #SkateToMilano

Character step ! Indicates not all req of element met. For Sweden I have absolutely no idea what. Possibility include not going end to end being short on one side, being 2m apart or further in step or repeat steps of previous step sequence.. all imo are non issue #SkateToMilano

getting back to this for a second. 2010 Euros. Domnina/Shabalin OD ..absolutely terrible. Beside being inappropriate..skating was sloppy, slow, feral, amature looking. Skating quality was masked by flying arms and a smile. (notorious Russian tactic) UTTERLY OVER SCORED. 10th pl teams skated better

I was 24 when this happened.. I vividly remember being so confused at why they chose this… I had to google image search the costumes again and boy it didn’t disappoint. It’s worse than I remember 🤣😂☠️. If you have not seen this it was Domnina/Shabalin 🇷🇺 2009. #Figureskating

SIX QUADS. Look at this and the quad salcow triple axel sequence in the second half.. ridiculous. 318.56 points total. Ilia Malinin 🇺🇸 is 2025 world champion and is now 2x defending world champion heading into the Olympics. #WorldFigure .
