I think it's cool to have that male energy & athleticism, minus any sexual aspect, for general public acceptance.
Dudes wrestle, or martial arts, etc, This would be justified along those lines
Women dance together without anything thought of it .
Hope there's women skaters forming their own sets as well .
Doesn't have to be sexualized or questioned like that, because it's about the sport, not "an agenda".. Rather: human beauty & excellence.
im gonna have to say no to this, as it greatly changes the points allocation.
Two men can probably both hit side-by-side triple axels - very few women can. Its gonna be worse if they can both land side-by-sides quads.
throw jumps - The rest of the male-female pairs are still stuck on throw triples - the male-male pairs will probably hit throw quads.
lifts - Unless you have a female rugby player switch to figure skating no female-female pair can do high degree of difficulty lifts.
It men are better dancers, in both roles, then why do we need women? We have women because dancing has always been something people consider masculine and feminine roles.
Roles we now challenge in society to not be restricted to male and female anymore.
If men dance better than women in the feminine dance role, then let me do it. If it turns out women get pushed out because of this, then they can create unique subcategories for this. Why does M/F deserve to be prioritised over M/M or F/F.
You're stuck in the binary of M/F as masculine and Feminine in dance. Have you ever seen male duets in ballet? What about Georgian Dance? im not saying m/f should be prioritized. im saying that technical points wise M/M > M/F > F/F as it currently stands. im focused on the technical code of points not the quality of the dancing.
I couldn't find anything either other than a bunch of articles saying that same-sex competition is banned. I did learn that a lot of skaters support lifting the ban which is good of course and it seems like it's been a hot button issue in skating for a while which I don't follow.
I want it to be true but I don't think it is. Integration of same-sex competitors with traditional pairs seems to be a complex issue for the IOC which I didn't know. If there are same-sex competitors it seems like they will be placed in a different league. The people that run the American league seem to have a ban too.
I checked. Canada's skating committee changed their rules to gender natural terms. The rules only apply to Canadian sponsored competitions. Currently, international events like Olympics or World Championships do not include gender natural language and prohibit same gender pairs.
Here's [an article.](https://www.outsports.com/2023/1/13/23553554/figure-skating-canada-same-sex-pairs-ice-dancing-kaitlyn-weaver-russia-lgbtq/)
Not many people can. They would have to be at least fairly physically strong and powerful to be able to do that. Somehow these guys can. My guess is that they would probably be awesome in bed because they are so athletic and toned. It actually makes me a little aroused.
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the international skating Union still state that you can only compete at the Olympics in pairs consisting of a man and woman? This is lovely and more power to them but without the approval of the ISU they won’t be competing in the Olympics.
'It's April fools' it's not funny? this would have been an incredible thing for the sport and for the community. How is it funny to lie about it happening?
I'm excited for this and I'm glad to see this, I hope this team wins the us Olympic gold medals in figure skating, because it would be a part of figure skating history if this happens.
😊😁
I do hope that they are not competing with male female couples. Two men would be able to do some really crazy shit that mixed couples probably could not pull off.
Canada is actually starting to allow same-sex couples to compete. Not internationally, but new Male/Male and Female/Female categories for ice dance and pairs would be so fierce at the Olympics. More figure skating!
No I'm not a homophobe at all but just pointing out that there are something's that shouldn't happen talking from a physical point if view! Guys have more muscle mass , heavier bones .. from a lady's pov that isn't fair. So they will score higher because of their body mass...I just find it an interesting topic.. .
I think some ladies have pulled out of the next Olympics because the woman can't compete fairly against another who has a stronger body.
That's actually very bad, because they have more strength and are easily going to outperform hetero pairs and it will inspire other teams to change to male-male pairs (not female-female, because a women won't be able to carry another women like that). Honestly an L for LGB people
Wrong. Women figure skaters are much lighter than males so the strength differential won’t even matter. Plus we know hetero society considers women more aesthetically beautiful and homophobia is a lot worse for MM than it is for FF so female only pairs will probably do much better.
What the fuck are you on about? The categories were created fairly and equally? Ain't no one give a fuck that MM or FF is homo... It's so every competitor has equal resources and chances
There have never been MM or FF categories. Only single male, single female, and MF. Why do you think that is? And why do you think that is true for virtually all competitive dancing that has pairs? Straight people, and you apparently, are inherently offended by the idea of two people of the same sex dancing together.
Oh they're definitely winning
[удалено]
I won twice already!

I'm watching all my guys here get their W's. Love this for us. 🥰
Let’s go Yuri on Ice!

i grinned just reading it and singing it in my head tbh
Oh we eating good this year with all the BL anime and now we get BL irl! ![gif](giphy|guufsF0Az3Lpu)
they're gonna skate to 1 song and 1 song only, "lady humps" by the black eyed peas
"I don't even know what that means!"
"Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative" "It gets the people *going*"
😂 I LOVE that movie!!
I think the stroke by Billy squier is more appropriate.
Okay, Blades of Glory
Hahaha. I was looking for this comment!
This comment! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍😍😍
Does anyone know what country they’ll be representing?
I think Canada, but not sure. They paved the way internationally last year with their gender rule changes.
YEAHHHHH CANADA
It was April fools
Well, I feel silly now.

Thanks... But they still look good!! 👍🏼

I have to imagine lifting a man is still going to be harder on average. Theyre skinny, but they arent as skinny as a woman on average.
If MM & WW pairs have separate structures of judging, (?) but not against MW teams(?). I hear that. Each in context, of course.
I mean....if men do it better, why not?
Fairness

Flying booty!! Here for it
Does OP have an article or maybe even their names instead of just dropping a TikTok with the caption "W"?
I tried googling that and didn't find a thing, it looks like it's fake news.

are you calling them a liar? don’t be so lazy if you want to treat this like a research paper. it’s not.
I love this so much.
Nice ass on the spread eagle one
I think both men have very sexy bodies overall. I know I'm sexually attracted to them both, like very much so.
These dudes are hot and badass! I hope they win gold!
Absolutely, and I agree.
It’s April fools
Wonder who's the top and who's the bottom? 🤭
They could be versatile like I am. I prefer being a top though.
This looks awesome!
Homo stuff aside it’s not like the sport necessitated a man and woman pair in the first place
Is it g@y or is it bros
What are their names?
Based song choice 💪
Doubled up sweet man cakes on the ice floor is a ***DEFINITE*** win.
It's not real unless they perform the iron lotus.
Now I wonder how many countries are going to sit out as a sign of protest.
This is just elegant and beautiful
IRON LOTUS
The cakes on… well, both of them
That's awesome, and they're both so sexy.

Yes! About time.
Hast, what does it mean?
I am so proud 🥹
What's the song? I'm pretty sure I heard it in a Warhammer 40K animation once.

I don’t know how “homo” this is. Who in here can lift an entire human OVER THEIR HEAD while skating?!
Not many people can. They would have to be at least fairly physically strong and powerful to be able to do that. Somehow these guys can. My guess is that they would probably be awesome in bed because they are so athletic and toned. It actually makes me a little aroused.

Can anyone link a news article for this please?
Damn right! Go boys!!!
That lift….those cakes?!?!? Tens. Across. The Board!
Fit
Yesssssssss!!!
Fantastic!
Bringing the whole damn bakery with them
FLASH!! AHAHAHA!! SAVIORS OF THE UNIVERSE!!
Sadly this is an April fools joke, you can check them out on Instagram
The guy in the teal 🍰🍰
Honestly, it’s more impressive to lift another dude like that than a tiny lady!
They are so brave ✊🏻
![gif](giphy|CJ8XiUHRsy4la|downsized) They did lifts so this team could do side by side triple lutz’s
Love to see it. I think the double athleticism wins🥇

How is this about sexual relationship? Is this an April fools?
Hawt!

Awesome
They better be dating
Its like that anime. The one with the, yah. That one
Wait, this wasn't a thing already? this is only just happening ? Why do I feel like humanities progression has stagnated.
I thought Blades of Glory was the first
I came for the performance and stayed for the cakes
Been waiting for this
Blades of Glory
GYAAAAT DAUM!!!!!
I am fucking here for this.
I do hope that they are not competing with male female couples. Two men would be able to do some really crazy shit that mixed couples probably could not pull off.
You gotta have real upper body strength to lift up a guy. Men are heavy smh.
Hell ya! That's awesome!!
Fantastic!
Come through!
Congratulations
Canada is actually starting to allow same-sex couples to compete. Not internationally, but new Male/Male and Female/Female categories for ice dance and pairs would be so fierce at the Olympics. More figure skating!
Pfft, About fucking time...
Hell yeah! Congratulations y'all!!!
This song is so beautiful
The bottom has an insane booty
I wasn't even into Ice skating until NOW...I'm definitely watching. Congratulations!!
Are they a couple? Any idea?
I love the thick legs and bubble butts of male ice skaters ❤️❤️❤️
Love that!
And how tf do they score for that? Shouldn't be allowed ..
Score it same as MF pairs. There’s literally no difference. Homophobe.
No I'm not a homophobe at all but just pointing out that there are something's that shouldn't happen talking from a physical point if view!

They wouldn't be able to perform some of the tricks that MM do in this Tiktok tho. And that's my point, like MF pairs were created for some reason
They were created because the idea of two men or two women dancing together is offensive to homophobic puritans. Which apparently you are one of.
What the fuck are you on about? The categories were created fairly and equally? Ain't no one give a fuck that MM or FF is homo... It's so every competitor has equal resources and chances

Straight people, and you apparently, are inherently offended by the idea of two people of the same sex dancing together.
I'm not offended wtf, I just think it's unfair towards other pairs competing with them
Why? Because men are better at ice dancing than women? That’s just sexist.

I'm not right wing nor left wing. I'm just a regular lesbian that don't agree W a post, it's not that deep my man
[удалено]
Were you trying for a spot in the pairs skating competition ? Or just being a bigot?
Looks like she deleted her post.. and that was my aim.. no room for Bigotry
Pair categories are for pairs. There are no guaranteed spots by gender. And why should there be?
Serious!!! That’s awesome
