It was basically an inevitability I was posting Kaetlyn Osmond again today. I knew going into today with the Women’s Free Skate yesterday that she was very likely to show up. In some ways I am sorry I have to post her again because there are so many talented athletes I just wanted to mention. Even just in figure skating. Gabby Daleman is worth noting just for her otherworldly beauty (and the way my heart broke for her last night 3 separate times and then a fourth when I saw the way her face looked leaving the ice). Karen Chen is notable strictly because she might have the best on ice attire I have ever seen. Seriously, google it or, I guess just ask me in a message, I’ll share, it’s strikingly beautiful and creative and perfect. Ivett Toth deserves to be mentioned just for her short program the other night which I think charmed basically half the world with how amazing it was to see someone skate in a leather jacket to AC/DC. And really everyone because they are all so skilled. I have said before that making the Olympics is impressive enough and it is. So many of these young women just skated their hearts out and they fall and it breaks my heart and it must be even harder their but they get up and keep going and their faces don’t show a hint of pain until it’s over. When I was younger I often discounted figure skating as most did as frivolous or silly or not a real sport and for that I owe them and generations of figure skaters before an apology. I think we all know why the most popular winter sport that draws more female viewers than male is immediately discredited in the minds of many sports fans. My point is, I have all of that going into this and lots I wanted to say but Kaetlyn was always going to be posted because I had to. As remarkable as everyone else is, as impressive as it is, she is simply that much more remarkable. I don’t know why she stood out to me 4 years ago in Sochi but she did. She is beautiful yes. God is she beautiful but there is beauty in surplus at these games and still something about how she skates speaks to me. I am not an expert. Far from it. Judges ding things and all I can think is, “Looked pretty fucking sweet to me you picky assholes”. So I can’t claim she is better than the Russians but I like her and how she skates a great deal more. There is just a feel to it. It feels right. Theirs didn’t speak to me in the same way. Every time she skates I am enraptured. It’s why I took the time to make a bunch of gifs, I think you have to see her in motion, and even my shitty gifs hold at least a tiny bit of the joy of watching her. So yeah, as I said earlier she is beautiful, and it’s part of why she’s here but there is more than that. The Olympics are almost over, almost everything is done and figure skating is completely over. I have watched more figure skating this year than probably any other Olympics before, at least since I was a kid and didn’t control the remote. She was my favorite part of it. Today I want to fuck Kaetlyn Osmond.
