MAIA SHIBUTANI: BETTER THAN YOUR FAVES FOR 17 YEARS
HEY _SKATING, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU:
WHAT HAD YOU ACCOMPLISHED BY THE AGE OF 17? BECAUSE I BET IT'S NOT AS MUCH AS THIS GIRL.
MAIA SHIBUTANI IS SEVENTEEN TODAY!
..AND BOY HAS SHE HAD A GREAT YEAR :D
LIKE ANY GOOD BIRTHDAY POST, THIS ONE BEGINS WITH A BABY PICTURE!
THE SALIENT POINT HERE BEING, MAIA SHIBUTANI HAS BEEN CUTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE FOR LITERALLY EVER!
BOTH ON THE ICE AND OFF!
SOMETIMES ADORABLE BB MAIA HAD A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH FUN
MAIA IS MULTITALENTED! SHE CAN ICE DANCE, BUT ALSO, SHE CAN FENCE!
AND BAKE!
AND BOX!
AND DUNK!
AND RUN RACES!
AND DRIVE GOLF CARTS!
AND SLEEP ON BUSES!
AND PRETEND TO BE A PRINCESS WITH MERYL DAVIS!
AND REMAIN CHEERFUL IN THE FACE OF NINJAS!
AND PUT UP WITH HER ENORMOUS TROLL OF AN OLDER BROTHER, EVEN AT TIMES PHYSICALLY DRAGGING HIM AROUND THE RINK!
BASICALLY, GIRL CAN DO ANYTHING, IS WHAT I AM SAYING HERE. BUT ONE THING THAT SHE DOES REALLY, REALLY WELL IS: ICE DANCING!
WATCH THIS VIDEO THEY ARE SUPER TINY AND ADORABLE (I MEAN MORE SO THAN USUAL, AND THERE'S A LITTLE INTERVIEW AT 4:10)
THAT KISS & CRY #ICANNOT
MAIA SPENT HER FIRST SENIOR SEASON WINNING ALL OF THE THINGS! LIKE, A SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS PROPORTION OF THE THINGS! (FUN FACT: THE ONLY PODIUM THEY MISSED THIS YEAR? WAS NEBELHORN!)
(SHE DIDN'T GET A MEDAL FOR IT, BUT MAIA WON SOMETHING ELSE AT NATS TOO: A PLACE ON THE USFSA SCHOLASTIC HONORS TEAM! BECAUSE SHE IS BRILLIANT.)
SURPRISED THAT THESE KIDS MEDALED AT WORLDS? WELL, LET'S BE HONEST: SO WERE THEY!
LOL MAIA'S LITTLE FACE AT 0:31 I CAN'T
AND OF COURSE, WHAT COMES WITH WINNING ALL OF THE THINGS IS SKATING IN ALL OF THE GALAS!
NATURALLY, WHAT WITH ALL THE THINGS SHE WINS, MAIA HANGS OUT WITH A LOT OF OTHER WINNERS TOO! (TRANSLATION: NOW I WILL SPAM YOU WITH PICTURES OF MAIA BEING FABULOUS WITH OTHER SKATERS, AND POSSIBLY ALSO SOME OF HER BEING FABULOUS ALL BY HERSELF!)
LOOOOOOL SIMON SHNAPIR WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN
STOP PHOTOBOMBING MERVIN TRAN
ANOTHER FUN FACT ABOUT MAIA IS THAT, IN ADDITION TO BEING SUPER ADORABLE, SHE IS ALSO GORGEOUS!
IN CONCLUSION, IT'S BEEN A FABULOUS YEAR IN THE LIFE OF MISS SHIBUTANI, AND HERE'S HOPING NEXT YEAR WILL BE WONDERFUL TOO.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAIA!
LOL WHY AM I MAKING THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THO, IDK /o\
