Not in that case Of course, it's highly likely that a quint attempt would be severely underrotated, in which case it might well be called as a quad

How would a double walley be marked? Would it just be ignored? Probably the same for any jump not in the SoV.

According to the article, "While she was filming season 25 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on April 10, a little girl who had lost her mom made a beeline for Hargitay, thinking she was a real police officer based on the actress' prop badge." Not because the child had seen the show on TV...

Well, I want to go from DC area to New Jersey next week and it doesn't look as though there's a reasonable route that bypasses Baltimore entirely. I'll try to leave early enough to avoid the worst of rush hour and either take the tunnel or the west side of the beltway.

Shall I plan to take the beltway the long way around when I go to NJ next week?

There are plenty of skaters at my rink who take ice dance lessons from the dance coaches, test either solo or with the coach as partner, and compete in solo dance competitions. But they take the lessons individually on regular freestyle sessions. There really isn't a solo dance "program" per se.

Starting with the 1988 season, when they first made a splash.

It happened occasionally when a host country skater advanced to the SP (from qualifying round) or to the free skate without having placed in the top 30 or top 24. Then there were 7 skaters in the first warmup group.

Yes, it's taken from the section on Mary, but the comment refers to Elizabeth.
