I am very excited for the Winter Olympics, yeah. While I freely admit I got into figure skating due to Zhenya’s Sailor Moon performance back in 2018 and CUTE GIRL ALERT grabbed my attention and has continued to do so for the intervening years, I am a genuine fan of the sport. It’s incredibly technical, incredibly difficult, and grueling to be even marginally good at, let alone Olympic standard.
All eyes on Adeliia Petrosian. The Russian girls have historically set the technical standard in this sport, with only Japan being consistently competitive against them. But Adeliia is far from a certain gold medalist. She’s been injured for a long time, so she goes into these Olympics as less of a dead cert than the likes of Anna, Alina, and Adelina.
That said, I have bet actual money on her to win, and I am not much for betting. I do it very rarely, and only on big events. This is that.
