I am happy that Zagitova has kept her presenting job at the annual Ice Age event. I can't stress enough how insane this whole world is. She has hosted this multiple times before and then got completely and utterly trashed in Russian media for having poor presenting skills. That might seem like a unfortunate reality being harshly said, but when you scratch under the surface a lot of it was being aimed at her because she wasn't a "Moscow girl" like Zhenya and Anna. Alina is a Tartar and there is considerable racism and snobbery towards the ethnic Tartars in Russia. She's even spoken out against this bullying before. It's even more insane when you consider she's a grand slam champion and has won literally everything she possibly could for the great Russian ego trip at the Olympics.

When talking about her less than perfect diction: “sorry I wasn’t born in Moscow… I’m from Izhevsk… maybe that’s why it slips through,”

I am very excited for the Winter Olympics, yeah. While I freely admit I got into figure skating due to Zhenya’s Sailor Moon performance back in 2018 and CUTE GIRL ALERT grabbed my attention and has continued to do so for the intervening years, I am a genuine fan of the sport. It’s incredibly technical, incredibly difficult, and grueling to be even marginally good at, let alone Olympic standard.



All eyes on Adeliia Petrosian. The Russian girls have historically set the technical standard in this sport, with only Japan being consistently competitive against them. But Adeliia is far from a certain gold medalist. She’s been injured for a long time, so she goes into these Olympics as less of a dead cert than the likes of Anna, Alina, and Adelina.

That said, I have bet actual money on her to win, and I am not much for betting. I do it very rarely, and only on big events. This is that.
