Hey guys, here is some Leticia Bufoni, who I am having a fit spelling her name today because I know Leticia is not spelled like the French version I am more familiar with any my brain wants to go to but it means I try to figure out what to change and it turns out I am always wrong. Like, I know the L is the same but after that I have a field day being very wrong and having to stop and look it up again. I feel like she'd understand given I have heard her talk about how hard English was for her for a long time (she seems fine with it to me but I am not on the receiving end. I can definitely ask where things are in Spanish for example but might not actually understand your answer) and her Portuguese is a whole lot better than mine because my entire experience with Portuguese is, "Fuck, this isn't Spanish, I am fucked". Anyway, I saw an interview with her and it was nothing ground breaking but I enjoy her and sometimes it's just nice to get a reminder she exists and was really important to her sport. To the degree that now and then I see people talking about how not important she was because women's skating has come so far they take for granted what she did. I mean, look, she is still a hugely decorated skater, so if you are one of the, "She's only known cause she's hot" people.. well, we agree she's hot but not on anything else. Anyway, her best skating days are behind her because that shit is for kids. It's crazy what I see 10 year old skaters doing now when I tune in. If Leticia Bufoni is an old woman for the sport then I might as well shrivel up and die because I am about to turn to dust. Look, she can still skate obviously but I know enough to know that 31 year old knees are a different beast than an 18 year old's. I don't have a greater point here really other than I like her but it's a little shocking she is like… an old school pick now. But she is. Today I want to fuck Leticia Bufoni.
