Brutal Putinesque purge of the Commentary team.

 

The International Skating Union has replaced its World Championships commentators after they made offensive remarks about Canadian former world champion Meagan Duhamel.

British commentator Simon Reed called the 36-year-old the "bitch from Canada" at the end of Wednesday's pairs event in Montpellier, France, apparently thinking his microphone was turned off.

Funny thing is that he was replaced by the commentator who is known to be a Russophile... :p I immediately switched to the Eurosport Player upon hearing his voice.


EDIT: Also, Duhamel is far from an innocent bystander in all of this. But I guess it's easier to get away with it on Twitter (surprise, surprise).

China didn't attend or broadcast the WCH but #Malinin is trending no.4 on Weibo now as the only trending word related to winter sports. His jumping is quite impressive but I don't know he's that popul

Nice, we can send two pairs next year, will be the biggest Lithuanian participation ever, just need both to stay healthy and uninjured.

Yea Duhamel has a nact for not minding her own business and victimizing herself, but what the announcer said was plain wrong.

It's crazy what's going on right now in the women's free skate. 

 

An amazing example of what contests can do to people and these girls know that this might be the only chance for a world title, because figure skating will do everything to get Russia back on board as soon as the war is over.

 

Everybody is chasing a life time achievement and everybody is way more nervous than usual.

      Your Athlete of the Year 2024 (from particular NOCs)

      By rafalgorka · Posted

      I will try to make a list of NOCs where we have some active users here but i'm sorry because i surely forgot someone so please add them to the list.   Idea for this thread is who was the best French/Spanish/Italian/Dutch etc. athlete in 2024 in your opinion? You can nominate one athlete for each NOC.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      I think she’ll get top 6, but no podium. With the amount of medal contenders that we have, there’s gonna be some disappointments (In Beijing we had Kingsbury in moguls even with the silver, Dubreuil in the 500m, men’s ski cross, curling, and our men’s hockey team as the main ones)

      Let me be clear:  I don't want to promote this product, this drink. That's not the case.   I'm interested in who's competing in Team RB because i think this company gives a lot of money to the athletes and i wonder if they can benefit from it... how many of them will get medals?

      That was the same for me. And it's obviously too early, just for fun. Now it's more like predictions for 2024/2025 winter sports World Championships than 2026 olympics actually...   And still - it was done before 24/25 world cup events in some sports started (e.g. nordic combined, downhill and super-G in alpine, skicross etc...)   so it will have to be updated for sure...
