Sport Profiling.

American do not want to participate the figure skating because there is a bias towards this sport. There were a few famous gay athletes in figure skating.

He had to apologize for making comments the media grilled him over for being homophobic.

The comments were extremely mild and not homophobic at all, but long story short, he ain't gay.

Name one famous male figure skater (not pairs) that isn't gay. The sport doesn't exactly evoke MASCULINITY.

What are you comparing or consider difficult? Why would you say figure skating is most difficult?

I would say gymnastics or swimming is the most difficult. Especially those long distance events. The training involved is tedious.

The most dangerous would be the skeleton or luge and closely followed by skiing events.

Non-binary? WTF is this world coming to when the Olympics are allowing this pronoun dyslexic crap.

An Olympic Marathon? Competitively?



No. But the 1% quote is about the general population. There’s also plenty speedy people in the general public. Not Olympic level, but speedy. I’d say at O level it’s a combo of talent and training, not that it’s hard to learn.

The Russian pair did very well tool. I can feel the emotion in their presentation.

Too bad they lost due to the slight technical difficulty between the Chinese pair.

I went into these games absolutely dreading having to listen to that pair but really admire how he gave zero fricks and went off on Russia. NBC also moderated their time in front of the camera which I think was a good thing. Hopefully NBC learns from it.

T & J really do a great job. They don't talk that much except when needed. They were seriously angry about Kamila and the whole fiasco. And you really don't see them much anyway.

I agree…. T&J did a great job. They are very knowledgeable and didn’t talk constantly like so many announcers. I also enjoyed listening to their opinions about the ROC skater and all the drama.

Johnny earlier had talked about a male pairs skater that had recently announced he is gay… and Johnny was hoping that would encourage more gay skaters to get involved in competition.
Lol. I don’t think that’s a problem.
