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.'"

sweet man, figure skating is the shit,

smooth triples VS quads = 360 nose kang VS hucked sw 14 ?

 

[Alex_G]

^I would rather see a sw 14 mute than a 360 kang to be honest with you. However I would rather see a sw cork 5 nose or a jon olsson flat 5 than a sw14 mute.

 

[tSki]

figure skating is not the shit..

[carbon.pulse]

 

[rossiskier93]

maybe the judges are good but figure skating still sucks...

would rather see a really nice 9 or 5 than a 14 definitely though

 

[dowalibeast]

looking past the fact that it's figure skating, i definitely agree that its sick to see steezy ass spins than hucked shit with no grabs.
