@5lzeu4f I actually predicted (on a FS forum that I haven't posted on in many years) that Medvedeva would win everything* her first season as a senior and likewise for Zagitova.
Oksana Baiul had a pretty meteoric rise as well against some established competition (Kerrigan, Chen, Bonaly).

Nothing will top zagitova’s win at the olympics 😭the meltdown was INSANE. Prior to this nobody knew a debutant could win OGM in their first senior year, it’s only after that ppl knew to look in juniors for the next OGM ( and why kamila valieva had so much spotlight from juniors)

@tlicquacks Surya Bonaly did a 3T+Euler+3S+2T combo that was pretty cool. That would be legal now.

@harocats I really wanted to do an oral history of this event with Kwan, Chen, their choreographers and the announcers covering this extraordinary night of skating, but alas...
I would've given the nod to Kwan for the one additional triple and better spins.

@rockerskating I'm blessed as I live 12 minutes drive from TWO separate Din Tai Fungs.

I know there’s a Din Tai Fung in NYC but I’m always excited to go to a skating competition where another Din Tai Fung is around

@pinsleric @BenMandelker I was just going to post it. She and CKM are very close.

@BenMandelker She’s friends with Crystal Minkoff, so that mayyyy be coloring her perception (though I fully agree with her)

For real, how come we never knew that Sarah Michelle Gellar was this good at talking Bravo? (Or am I just super late?)

@okuyamekko Rena Inoue skated in three Olympics in two disciplines and two counties.

@ReelTalker Thank you. I posted this before I saw the robust discourse on Threads. This is not to diminish content creation, which is a skill in itself (one I'm actually exploring). And there are storytellers that can do both. But entertainment (and culture) reporting is a different thing.

In fact, I wrote this guide on red carpet reporting 12 years ago. It's a little dated now but a lot of the tenets still hold.

I said the same thing on my IG on Oscars night about influencers/creators as red carpet hosts. I have made similar observations at previous industry events and even conventions. variety.com/2026/film/colu…

@RachelTrue Hosting is a skill. It's totally different from doing highly edited bursts on TT. There are many experienced, fantastic hosts in LA, many of whom I call colleagues and friends. When "hosts" center/only talk about themselves, they're not doing their jobs.

Please get professional hosts/interviewers/ journalists back on the carpet 🥴
