[figure skating] IT'S TIME
It's time for two big events in one weekend! The European Championships (which I am watching as we speak) and the US National Championships of figure skating. TIME TO CRY! TIME TO WATCH FIGURE SKATING ALL DAY! The events range from like 3am - 11:45pm because both events are in wildly different time zones. The benefit is that they never overlap.
The stress level for these competitions is really low compared to everything else this season (except Canadian Nationals last weekend, which also had low stress levels.) As some of you may know, Shoma Uno is my favorite figure skater and he's not here. A few of my other favorite skaters, whether they be from these countries or not, are also not here. The ones who are here are people I think will do well unless something goes terrible wrong. Things don't often go terribly wrong with the people who are skating this weekend (knock on wood.)
These events do determine who goes to future events though, so there is at least a tiny amount of stress.
