Speaking of ladies singles I was curious and reading articles and watching v8deos. Sarah Hughes made a point that the sheer cost of competitive skating makes it hard to stay in. I think we will see a few, maybe another quadster like Trusova from
Sambo70 and the. Battle will be the quad battle in the coming quadrennial. Shcherbakova or another. But Likely a girl from Eteri. She said she had another girl who was as fearlesss. Will 2022 be the Olympics when the technical is pushed as far as it will go in every discipline but esp singles?
I don’t know I’ll be here to see it. But I wish for beauty instead. I wonder how many here are very young and watch mainly the jumping beans? I don’t think it can be pushed much further technically. Nathan Chen or someone who matches him and Alexandra Trusova. Again tiny girls who don’t develop much because the jumps bcom impossible. Gymnastics and skating are dying of their limited appeal and limited participants. The peak of skating? I think it is peaking now like many art forms. Dance is so athletic whether it be ballet or hip hop or contemporary. Big tricks are what matter most.
As for me I can enjoy the older skaters who trained figures. I think that balance has been lost forever. I hope it goes on but the world is dying. Enjoy whatever beauty you can. Ominous yes. I hope I am wrong of course.
Everything is accelerating so fast. Every part of life is changing so rapidly. Figure skating is just one sport one little world where knowledge and ability is raining down to its conclusion. It is a microcosm like a billion other things humans do. Space travel for fun? We are there. Does anyone understand what I mean? It’s hard to express. What will there be left when people grow bored of quad jumping and quints are not possible. Or are they? I’m not a skater nor a physicist.
