Reminds me of when he interviewed Tiffany Chin with Jenny years back, and he seemed to equate himself being in high school choir with being a teen elite figure skater. I mean, what was the point of that. Tiffany and Jenny had some of the same coaches and unique life experiences, and there is no...

:cry: Those responsible ruined her life.

I love this list. I would add on Mabel Fairbanks, although she faced additional challenges, so she largely taught through John Nicks, despite being a USFSA Hall of Famer in her own right. --------------------------------------------------------- Jutta Mueller was a remarkable coach. In 1980...

@Morry Stillwell somewhere out there 🥲

I was still mad at the Human Zamboni for what she did at 1991 Worlds. She was a danger to other skaters as well as herself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc0qxdfKGGw :eek: I'm still a little mad.

I don't disagree with you. However, Yuna actually scrubbing the ice with a nylon brush would have been less of a fight with the ice than Sotnikova at her finest in skates, which was, of course, there.

Sotnikova, at her best, looked like she was fighting the ice in a stylized manner. The revolutions in her jumps and spins were more of a relief to the eyes from watching her stroking than actually appealing.

DL apparently can't appreciate that Disney makes opportunities for skaters to make a living skating in a way similar to how Disney makes opportunities for live performers to make a living doing live performing.

That judge, the first skater to land a 3Lz at the Olympics, was jaded by his own Olympic experience, where he had the highest total points but didn't win, and perpetuated it...

Junior Mints, the Color Purple, the name of anyone that quit group lessons with Frank Carroll in 1973 . . . and anyone or anything that convinces Michelle Kwan to interact with the skating world . . . as opposed to the whole world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUEdDbj3GYA
