I stood there for a very long time before the truth finally surfaced plainly enough that I could no longer hide from it.
I do not want to spend the rest of my life surviving.

AMERICA’S BEST MEDAL SHOT? FOSTER CARRIES U.S. HOPES INTO MEN’S FREE SKATE
SPORTSNET WORLD — OLYMPIC LIVE BLOG
Dean Foster will head into Friday’s free skate sitting second overall after a clean, technically difficult short program that kept the United States firmly in the gold-medal conversation.
Analysts spent most of the evening praising Foster’s ability to deliver under pressure, particularly in major competitions where other skaters tend to unravel.
“He rarely gives points away.”
“There’s no panic in his skating. Even under pressure, he looks patient.”
“You get the sense he still has another level left for the free skate.”
Fans online seemed equally convinced the real fireworks are still coming.
Comments:
“103.09 and somehow it still felt restrained.”
“Foster free skate day should qualify as a federal holiday.”
“Four quads incoming. Judges, stay strong.”
“The funniest part is that he always looks like a man mildly concerned about taxes while casually destroying everybody.”
“USA absolutely built their Olympic strategy around sending the guy least likely to implode.”
DAVORIN FACES GROWING MEDIA ATTENTION AHEAD OF PAIRS EVENT
EURO ICE REPORT
With the pairs competition approaching, Luka Davorin and Mila Kadanek remain one of the most discussed teams of the Olympic tournament following their role in securing Velkarya’s first-ever team medal.
Coverage of the pair’s skating has been overwhelmingly positive. However, several outlets have also noted Davorin’s increasingly visible presence alongside members of Team USA away from competition.
One commentator described the situation as “the sort of narrative federations generally prefer not to manage during an Olympic Games.”
Neither athlete has commented publicly.
Comments:
“They are bending themselves into pretzels trying not to say Dean Foster’s name.”
“Every Luka article this week reads like somebody deleted three paragraphs before publication.”
“The funniest part is that nobody is even denying anything.”
“To be fair, nobody is actually accusing them of anything either.”
“That’s because nobody knows what’s going on.”
“Which has never stopped the internet before.”
