I know you’re done with the Winter Olympics because I’m an avid lover of ice-based blood sport, and I’m done with the Winter Olympics. I can’t hear Dick Button comment on the human drama of Zamboni maintenance without wincing so hard that the creases cornering my eyes catch flies.
But then there’s this. A short thing of beauty that changes everything.
From the info box on YouTube:
“Evgeni Plushenko платина!!!! He has accomplished almost everything what is possible to win in Figure Skating, not only one time!”
That about says it all. Well, it doesn’t mention the mash-your-face-off metal. Orc axes. Dragons. Figure skating just won me over.
Triple lutz through the gates of Hades, friends. Don’t forget to land that shit perfectly.
[Thanks, Aaron. You’ll forever be my Internet-bobsleigh buddy.]
