So I was watching this event last Friday night.
They discussed how Mirai Nagasu who finished 3rd at the US Nat'ls in 2014 was overlooked and Ashley Wagner who finished 4th got selected to the 2014 Olympic team for Sochi....I had forgotten about this....another case of YANK racism/bias who couldn't accept another yellow skin and black hair athlete.
IMO...ya perform at the Nat'l Finals...ya go to the Olympics...nuff said.

I was then glad to see that Nagasu and Karen Chen sent Wagner packing on Friday night.

Then looking at some stuff on cyber space this weekend....why am I not shocked about Wagner's poor sportsmanship.

Talking about poor sportsman....how about the dbag Swedish captain who threw his silver medal into the crowd at the 2018 World Jr's in hockey on Friday night too....then in classic pink shirt generation fashion.... the kid starts balling his eyes out on the ice....MAN UP son.
The 2019 event will be hosted in Van City & Victoria.

Can't stand Wagner. Mirai was utterly screwed four years ago, so that's what I call sweet redemption. Nagasu was better than her then, better now.

TBH, I stopped watching figure skating after the rip off of Yuna Kim at Sochi. I'm debating whether I will watch this year, but maybe I will if only to cheer Mirai on.

How many of you watched Truth & Lies: Tonya Harding last night?
Her mother was/is a real TRAILER TRASH b*ich.
Tonya was/is quite the athlete.....she really could have been something if she was brought up in another family.
She can still skate really well as an overweight 47 year old.
No surprised she looks 67 years old while many other aging female skater have aged well...exception...Canuck Karen Magnessen...she has a skating rink in her name not too far from my house.

Tonya Harding was quite STOUT in her skating days.

OK....you can all make fun of the Smiling Buddha.
Back in 1994....a bunch of us went out for lunch...then a lady co-worker brought up Tonya's name....I replied..."I think Tonya is kinda HOT"....the entire table spewed out their lunch and burst out laughing.
I had to clarify that she was "DIRTY HOT"....but that still didn't SAVE me.

BTW....FWIW...Nancy Kerrigan has a HORSE FACE.
Oh ya...Katarina Witt is VERY VERY STOUT...nuff said.
