http://www.cbc.ca/sports/figureskating/story/2008/03/22/worlds-buttle.html

Yesterday Canadian figure skater JEFF BUTTLE won Gold at the World Championships in Sweden. But here's the clincher: his run beat out quads with steezy triples!

He was just sicker and smoother and steezier, his run was about more than just spins with skating in between. Every aspect of his run came together to create a more beauitful whole. The judges, who in the past would look more for specific larger spins, saw the light. And so he won and got mad hype and is livin' it up and probly sippin' on brewkies on his porch with his bros right now, using his gold medal as a bottle opener.

Some french faggot who lost got really pissed off cause his gnarsty quads got beat by sick trips. He reminds me of Dumont vs Tanner in Pipe or like TJ with his 14s and shit... Here's what the frenchie had to say:

"He didn't try a quad jump and I was disappointed about it because the new judging system is like that — it's better to do simple and clean than to try something difficult."

Reminds me of you NS faggots.

Here's some quotes from the articles:

"Jeff Buttle has always done it by the high road, and the 25-year-old from Smooth Rock Falls, Ont., skated that road through a multi-car pileup of his rivals' bodies in the men's long program, and shockingly buried the opposition with technical marks given him by a panel of judges who didn't care that his program had no quadruple jump in it."

"I trained very hard to do that. It wasn't just about jumps. We work whole sessions on spins and stroking and all the in-betweens because that is figure skating. Figure skating is everything - everything that happens in four minutes 40 seconds. I definitely feel that I earned the title and I'm happy about that."

"Weir two-footed a quad landing, and he took Buttle's side on quads: 'I think it's a very strong statement that my sport is not defined by one jump and it's not defined by one element,' he said. 'It's a whole combination and a whole package that you need to have to be a top-level figure skater.'"

Now that some of you seem to understand, discuss.

Can the following be said about the state of things in skiing today?



'I think it's a very strong statement that my sport is not defined by one jump and it's not defined by one element,' he said. 'It's a whole combination and a whole package that you need to have to be a top-level skier.'

Can you say that out loud with confidence, knowing  that you're being honest with yourself?

Bonus points (oh god yes more karma!) if you're one of our beloved professionals.

This is an awesome thread.

Why is figure skating gay? It's like park skiing except they don't do rails (yet).

Buttle is pretty sick I guess but he's just biting on Elvis Stojko's stomped clean landings. Stojko is hood.

LOL! wow, i feel bad for you because you didn't read the thread, and you are telling the OP he's dumb. you just owned yourself so hard hahahaha.

1) learn to read
2) if you did L2R you would notice that there is a concept in there that skiers don't apply.
3) Click for larger image

I accept that Figure skating is a legitimate sport and takes skill etc. etc.

but why on earth would you post that on a skiing website?
Isn't there like a forum for figure skaters where you could rant about how figure skating is better than skiing and actually get positive comments?

First of all dont compare skiing to figure skating.  And honestly it sound good to say that youre all for super slow steezy stuff. But i gotta say i like to just huck stuff i know is going to be super hard.. i mean whats the point if what your doing isnt way too hard and makes your heart jump an hour ahead.. Like that one video of someone doing a 1620 on like a 100 footer
