To me it appears that trusova was really counting on that being her crowning moment instead of the ultimate win, so in choosing valieva it was the ultimate blow, another reason for her breaking down when ultimately becoming second place again... anyway, had eteri just chosen her or ana they wouldnt have had all this trouble

Además, tener una bandera que incluye a las "personas trans" dentro del mundo del patinaje es terrible. Si hubiera "mujeres trans" dentro de las competiciones de mujeres ya sería el colmo. No solamente las mujeres patinadoras tienen que lidiar con la corrupción de ISU (al igual que los hombres), también tienen que lidiar con las chicas más jóvenes que mal entrenadas y destruyendo su cuerpo hacen saltos quad tramposos, desplazando a las mujeres que juegan limpio.

Skaters like John Curry and Rudy Galindo can tell you what it was like to experience homophobia in this sport. The fact that Ilia Malinin, the current U.S. champion, made a comment about how not saying he's straight will increase his PCS, shows that homophobic beliefs are still in the sport. And recognizing an athlete who is LGBTQ+ does not reduce them to one thing or minimize their accomplishments unless you see it that way.
