imagine being a figure skating fan and an enhypen fan and seeing people saying that if he weren’t to retire, sunghoon would’ve become the greatest figure skater of all time and calling him the “ice prince” (a title reserved for yuzuru hanyu) and putting *sunghoon does triple axel* AT A DOUBLE LUTZ and refusing to admit the fact that he is the korean equivalent of jason brown (good artistry, bad technicality), and saying that he is the best figure skater korea has ever had WHEN YUNA KIM AND JUNHWAN CHA ARE RIGHT THERE.
just realized all my fave skating elements look… similar…
yulia lipnitskaya’s layback spin and spiral
sasha cohen’s layback spin and spiral
yuna kim’s ina bauer and catch foot layback spin
johnny weir’s spider lunge
and alexandra trusova’s unparalleled cantilever (which she sometimes skates with her hair loose in what appears to be a very effective dominance display)
unrelated addendum: newly obsessed with Ilia Malinin’s quad Lutz entry
(I know some of these you can nitpick about. “Is that grey, or lavender?” “Actually that has a blue tinge to it.” But whatev because when you look at something long enough color loses all meaning anyway so roll with me.)
