My takeaways from the figure skating gala: 1) Mikhail Shaidorov needs to be protected at all costs and 2) I want the core strength of Riku Miura.

I want to be like Alysa and Amber when I grow up.

I would not want to skate following Alysa

Happy Alysa makes me happy.

So happy for Amber having a near-perfect long program she can be proud of. πŸ₯Ή

I’m more than a 4-year fan, but didn’t realize the short was *that* strict. I figured it was a composition requirement, but didn’t know that popping the triple was a points/no points situation. I’m not sure I like that, but I get it.

Thanks! That’s a tough policy. Poor Amber. πŸ’”

Can you explain why the double was β€œinvalid” instead of being β€œdowngradedβ€œ and given negative GOE?

I know the Olympic pressure is always a big element, but it’s almost 11pm there. That can’t be helping.

Back in the DMV and returning to old habits - taking photos of presentation slides.

One of the big reasons I can’t get into NCAA gymnastics this year is there is nowhere to just discuss and enjoy it without it becoming complaining about judging. 😞

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.

It’s a wild time to be a health policy nerd who also has a master’s in international security policy.

Ugh, that sucks. 😑 I used to work HPC policy but admittedly didn’t do much on peds or private insurance.

It won’t cover ped concurrent care? Is that common for private insurers?
