Yeah but we'll start getting practice reports

I wasn't sure if this was posted somewhere upstream.

This one doesn't quite come off as sounding like they enrolled as "Meryl Davis and Charlie White" for the Egyptology class

In listing their accomplishments in skating, how could they leave out first American ice dance World champions?

…same reason they are reported as training for the "tour"

[TanithandBenFan]

Yeah but we'll start getting practice reports

I'll try to video their practice Friday and upload it that afternoon if IceNetwork doesn't beat me to it.

They list being the first World Champions from the US here at the bottom of their ISU bio:

I was reffering to the Seattle article, Doris. I thought it strange they left that out.

[shsocu]

Not the first, but they are listed as World Champions in the article.

The American ice dancing team of Meryl Davis and Charlie White, world champions in 2011, are busy preparing in Michigan.

Oh thanks! Must have just not remembered that part. I was thinking about where they listed their accomplishments. Moving on,

Did you guys see the draw for judges this season? For Worlds, USA has an ice dance judge, Canada doesn't. I'm more interested in the callers, though, I think they make more of a difference than the judges these days.

[DORISPULASKI]

Yes, I do too (think it's all up to the tech callers)

I think having a US judge is huge, and not having one at Worlds last year was a big factor....

Well, yes, I do agree with that! I'm thrilled we have a US judge, that's for sure.

But I doubt having one US judge would've changed the end result.
