Everyone making noise about Olympic Skater Ilia Malinin (a white dude) pulling off the first legal backflip in competition as if he is a revolutionary skater needs to remember Surya Bonaly (black girl) completed a backflip in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and was penalized for it

This is very cute www.wsj.com/sports/olymp... I never had an Olympian in one of my classes but my former department chair @isenbergumass.bsky.social, Bob Nakosteen, did have Michele Kwan as a student when he taught at Tufts.

Sorry, Professor—the Olympics Ate My Homework

Maddie Schizas forgot to turn in her college sociology paper that was due on Friday, but she had a good excuse. She was busy figure skating for Team Canada.

The US just won Olympic Gold in the team figure skating competition! The team includes: an immigrant, a daughter of immigrants, a son of immigrants, & an LGBTQ woman. America at its finest countering the hatred, bigotry, and xenophobia of Donald Trump & JD Vance.

No no no, the best skating of the next two weeks by a comfortable margin is going to be the women's event, where there are no quads

(Well, almost no quads. One don't-call-her-Russian girl doing quads, I believe...)

We were already more or less locked for gold, but yes, that bonus point basically seals the deal

Basically Japan needs (1) Ilia to lose the free skate to Shun Sato somehow; and (2) Amber to bomb
