Today, I had a big figure skating competition. Many of the girls before me fell or did not execute their jumps correctly. Me? I skated a flawless program. I was placed last because they said I didn't push myself hard enough to the point of falling. FML

That makes absolutely zero sense...

If at first you don't fail, try, try again.

Wtf? That is so ****** up I'm sorry OP:/

I do figure skating and have never heard of this. What type of competition was it? If it was a normal figure skating age and grade related competition falling is an automatic deduction of points. And, depending on your grade, you have to show you can complete certain elements and moves. If you don't complete the required moves in your routine you can get 0 points and not qualify. Perhaps you read the rules wrong? As this does not make any sense to a seasoned figure skater.

Where I've skated it is age as it is under 5s, 10s, 16s and then it's the adult category. And I've never experienced judging bias to that degree. That isn't to say it doesn't happen but I have never seen nor heard of getting zero points on a well executed performance just because the other people know the right people.

I appreciate that difficulty is taken into consideration, but being *last* for perfect execution makes no sense.

This FML could have ended after the first sentence.

God damn... They need to re-evaluate themselves. You should have come in first, for actually having the skill not to fall

No, you pushed yourself to the point of being good enough to *not* fall every time.

By this logic, every time someone wins anything, they lose for not pushing themselves to the point of failure. THIS IS A PARADOX.

I'm sorry that happened OP. But you should still try to be proud of your accomplishments! Ice skating is a really cool hobby.

I kinda have that problem with condoms -_- Especially if girl doesn't give head first. Can relate, with this, -_- what a pain that is.

Are you sure you were not at a hockey game.
