Was anyone else annoyed by the commentators talking about Amber Glenn? One man literally said she lost the team points…she *earned* 8 points and did her best! We were never promised 10 to begin with? Anyways. Love you Amber! 💖💖💖

She looked so crestfallen and meanwhile she just placed THIRD IN THE WORLD in that part of the competition!!! I want to see more commentators hyping athletes up for being AT THE OLYMPICS

I love her she’s so fantastic I do think they were a little hard on her though especially since this is her first Olympics but I’m excited for her performance during the individual skates

A 10 is literally so hard to get that’s why it’s called a “perfect” score

Exactly! She has anxiety and ADHD too. You could see her crying before she went on the ice. Obviously we want to do well but I can only imagine how much pressure the athletes feel? Simone Biles talked about this a lot and I thought we learned from it. 😭 people can only do their best!

THANK YOU. I just watched an interview with her where they asked what her feelings are right now and her first word was disappointed. My heart is breaking. 😭 even Ashley Wagner pissed me off a bit. Like girl please. You know what it’s like out there.

In this case it was the number of points the team got if the skater won first in their specific category.

Exactly. I feel like we are low key delulu about certain events and like hype ourselves up too much too. 😂 Japan came very close to beating us in this event, the commentators needed to chill.

Oooooooh okay I didn’t know skating had a point system like that. I only swam in highschool so the only score system I know is time 😭
