An Evening with Scott Hamilton & Friends (Nov. 6 in Cleveland)

ITA. Much better than SOI, even with so many older skaters. What were your impressions of last night's show?

I really enjoyed it including the music which surprised me since I'm not a country fan. I always enjoy the skating since you usually see some people that you don't always get a chance to see. This time it was Dorothy, the Kerrs, and Dan Hollander (haven't seen him in ages).

Glad to hear that Gregory/Pethukov are skating shows. I wanted them on SOI.

Me, too.

Thanks for your report. Good luck to Christina Gao on her SAT's!

The weird thing about Sasha is that her basics and edging looked so improved during the shows in the pre-Oly season. She had nice flow and speed and I was so encouraged. Then came Nationals and back came the scratchy slow Sasha. I still haven't watched the LP

I wonder how it is possible to revert to inferior basics at competitions and have nice ones in shows.

I think Sasha got exhausted from overtraining right before the National. I wish she had started her preparation for the olympic much earlier and slower.
