Do you think there's olympians out there who wake up every morning, sick and tired of the grind and kind of wishing to die rather than go to work being one of the best athletes in the world?
I mean I believe she was one of them. She quit cause she hated it. Then went back a year or two later with conditions to remove what was making her hate it and this is the result.
This performance is such a distillation of what humans can do. I wish it was on the Voyager gold record. If aliens could get a quick taste of us, this would be a good sample. She's awesome.
She does. Apparently she did it herself. Also, apparently many piercers will refuse to do it because the rings wear down the enamel on your teeth and can cause some serious problems down the road.
Had to get my daughter a frenectomy when she was a baby because she was tongue and lip tied. Made it a struggle for feeding. I guess I robbed her from this new trend by making sure she stayed healthy as a baby. :/
I think that's what sticks so much to me about that performance. You can see the unfiltered joy on her face while she's out there and it's infectious. The crowd really responded to her energy and that's what elevated it from a great performance to one of the best of all time
She's rich, attractive, and young. She went to private schools, had access to everything good in this country. She did a great job but I don't get the hype.
Eh, he had a bad skate. It happens to everyone, just happened to him at the worst possible time. He'll be back and he'll be fine. My analysis: he missed the axel then psyched himself out for the rest of the program.
Dont know which is my favorite part: the knee slide, the jump split with the wave, or the hair flip at the end. Also, wasnt too sure about the hair style until i saw it in a ponytail. Omg its cute.
I would think she can. Her hair kind of resembles the cinnamon swirls on every tasty piece of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and I hardly think that's a coincidence.
I love how figure skating uses conservation of angular momentum by pulling their arms in when they jump and spin. Its even more amazing to see them land and stick their arms out in order to slow themselves down. The sheer amount of practice it must took to be able to land that shit effortlessly!

You’re being weird af @OP
DeakVanNyke
What song/music she skated to?
rmx256
I really really love seeing people who are really good at what they do, be really happy about how well they did it.

dont love your job, job your love..

Incorrect. She is three-dimensional and therefore cannot be a "waifu".
booneht
"Your" cute raccoon waifu? Get some help.
worm61
Yeah, I am NOT on board with calling a living, breathing person barely out of childhood your “waifu”. That’s pretty fuckin’ gross.

She nailed it, and she KNEW she nailed it.

Every time I see this, I'm so worried for that guy's feet. :D

Its like she doesn't even touch the ice. She hovers slightly above it before she has to defy gravity and physics. Quite impressive

Genuinely curious because I never noticed, but does she have her frenulum pierced? And is that a thing now?

Yes and yes. Called a “smiley.”
I asked the same thing to my gen Z kid and got the “you’re so old” stare so you don’t have to. Takin’ one for the team here.

Her performance made me cry. She was having so much fun.
superanth
She retired because she had started to hate it, then came back on her own terms, and was better at it than anyone else.

That sentence breaks my brain.

Based Equestrian class cute racoon. No one cares about the plebs.
meatsquatch011
You literally cannot help but love her.
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
I love when skaters grab their blade and spin. I think that's my favorite move.
MeatyMouthfeel
That's what I'm fucking talking about!

I've been using this statement at random to hype myself up lately and it's kinda fun, like getting thru stuff.

She's an Olympic gold medalist, not "YOUR raccoon waifu". Jesus Christ.
Howlingowl
Damn straight! She’s AMERICA’S raccoon waifu.
jamiedBreaker
Mmm gross.
sciguygobyebye
I make a raccoon comment and get 20 down votes. You make a raccoon comment and make front page. Imgur reminds me a lot of high school...
dootdootiamgroot
Figure skaters are crazy with all those super fast tornado twists. While wearing shoes with knives!
duktayp
Some deep psychological discussions as to why the "Quad God" choked. Consensus is he stopped having fun
terajack2048
I mean he still left with a team gold it’s not like he left empty handed.
xenjamin
I hate that the media labeled him that. It's a curse to be labeled like that.
ukalliq
He named himself, for the record.
xenjamin
Oooooohhhhh k. That's too bad. Tough lesson there for him.
ukalliq
He has the goods to back it up. Did you see the grand prix final? Seven quads, including the axel.
ukalliq
Eh, he had a bad skate. It happens to everyone, just happened to him at the worst possible time. He'll be back and he'll be fine. My analysis: he missed the axel then psyched himself out for the rest of the program.

I don't get the racoon part.
mksu
She can win an Olympic gold medal, but can she see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
MostAwesomeDan
I bet she knows trix are for kids
Nanntuckett
But what would she do for a Klondike bar?
BHPaperstacks
The answer is enough processed sugar to kill a small house pet.

( it's mostly the sugar, but the cinnamon doesn't hurt)

I get it's a joke, but stop corpo tag lining shit, it's still advertising even if you're trying to make a funny.

You must be fun at parties.

I completely agree with you.

To be fair that rabbit is a gatekeeping prick. And shouldn’t be trusted if for no other reason than the ancient accords between man & faire
TheLordFoxington
I mean her outfit kinda looks like one.

This is the coolest rejection walk-away of all time.

Go play on a spinning tire swing, or equivalent, you can feel the momentum and movement yourself to a degree.
CogYang
I've seen her referred to as a raccoon a couple times, but never found out why. please enlighten me?
DrDadJokes
I don't think she eat in trashes so I don't know myself
ProfessorBanesworth
Her hair, I would imagine. It's striped like a raccoons tail.
NM156
Her blonde and black hair color, I assume.
wylkyn
Looks blue and white.
