No, he was involved in the Block Judging Scandal from the 1998 Olympics. Both he and Jeanne Sneft were suspended for that one. Shocking that it's taken this long to ban this jerk for life.

I'm the opposite to you. Annie Lennox' version of Whiter Shade of Pale is my personal favourite, and has been since Diva! came out. I was overjoyed that they used her version. OTOH I loathe the music cuts in Chock & Bates program. Take 5 is another favourite piece of music, but none the...

As an adopted person, my birth certificate says I was born on May 21, 1949, to Clarence and Stella, my ADOPTED parents. It says nothing on my birth certificate about being adopted. In Ms. Saint Marie's case, one only need look at her and hear her sing to know she's native. I don't...

You haven't said what hobbies or interests you have that can be turned into a business, so I'll list what other friends are doing for quick cash. Given that you're teacher, could you do tutoring? I make that amount from my Etsy site, when I factor in the tax deductions on rent and utilities...

It wasn't a knife. It was a sharp piece of plastic, but that is a question that is being asked.

One of the great joys of my life was seeing Maggie Smith play Lady McBeth at Stratford. Her performance of the "Out damned spot" scene had me in tears, and it is to this day, what I remember most about the performance.

According to Ted Barton, all Junior Grand Prix finalists go to the Olympics. You'll be seeing him soon I'm sure. I absolutely fell in love with Nakata. His feet and knees make me swoon, and his mastery of the blade is remarkable given his age. Prayers that he makes the transition to Seniors...

He's a Junior. That's what he's doing - learning that he can't win everything. Geesh!

Rod Black was a commentator. Ted Barton was the head of BC Section for years. He is both condescending and arrogant in his sweeping pronouncements. And he says stupid things like they are absolute truths.

The 3 C's???? How about Clean, Ted???? That's a C word. So is Clueless. Every time Barton commentates, I want to throw things at the screen. Earlier in the week was his laughable statement that we will see ALL of the Junior singles skaters here, at the Olympics someday. Without question...

It's not just that Kyle was winning all of the challenges, but that his backstory is so heartwarming. Who wouldn't vote for the guy? Hopefully, they'll bring him back for one of the "All-Stars" games.

You've been asked to STOP providing anti-science rhetoric, in this thread. If you have evidence of your claims, including links to the valid studies of your unverified assertions, this is not the place to spread this bilge.

My cat would lose weight on 500 calories a day! The average active woman needs 2000 per day to maintain weight, and someone who is skating professionally requires more - 3500 to 5000 to maintain muscle and performance...

It's my understanding that all of those weigh-ins were discontinued. Ice Capades went out of business inn 1995, so they probably did weigh-ins throughout their run. It lead to a LOT of disordered eating. I think weigh ins have been discontinued, but I don't know with absolute certainty.

As well it should have. It was criminal to put Deniss in that hideous thing.
