There were two in the past ~ mid to late 90's ~ Bea Tistu and Oana Ojog but those two actually moved to the US first and lived there after basically immigrating during a training exchange. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1995/dec/28/no-fear-romanian-gymnast-learned-her-sport-under/ Ana...

I am in Oberstdorf, just got done with Silver ladies II freestyle. Skated a really good beginning half of the program & then panicked & altitude died ??. Still, nice to skate that well & be on time with the music even if it was just for part of the program. Will eventually make my way to a full...

Part of Midori Ito’s artistic program run through in practice ?https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsTPUJZM3q9/?igshid=MTIyMzRjYmRlZg==

She did, you're right. The 80's born skaters are officially an endangered species on the competitive circuit. https://twitter.com/Ice_Dundee/status/1501080498294112257

He was in the Kiss and Cry with Jean Teng of San Francisco (adult Silver ladies II) but there might be other adult students he’s coaching there as well. If he’s there for the medal ceremony will try to get a pic ?

@SaSherka and I were there for tonight's EWC show & Paul Wylie and Emily Hughes confirmed Audrey Lu is heading to UCLA this fall. She landed both a 3sal and 3loop in her solo, so definitely ending on a high note. Videos of the always entertaining Green Parsons & Amber Glenn are now up. Amber...

It was 2003, as far as I could tell. Ina/Zimmerman had gotten bronze and Scott/Dulebohn were 7th the year before. No idea if 13 total or less was in effect for 3 spots next year back then. 10 was well under that, either way. Post-Olympic Worlds are good to to US pairs :D.

He was apparently only doing single jumps on one of the freestyle sessions, so maybe there's an injury involved? I asked my friend who skates at SCOB on a regular basis to investigate ?️‍♀️

Starting this since the 50th Anniversary Evening with Champions cast has been announced and it's worth stopping by for anyone close to Boston. Show dates are April 9th and 10th. Hubbell/Donohue and Green/Parsons for dance and Amber Glenn for ladies are some of the highlights...

In case you ever wanted to see the thought bubbles of a panicked, locked-knee skate here they are :rollin: :lol: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbVs8gjsFHm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We can be 'being here is victory enough!' buddies. Actually, your ice time cutback sounds way worse than mine, so I am very impressed you're competing :cheer:

Will be there for silver freestyle at Sectionals, even though it's pretty clear am nowhere near ready. Quest to only get one time deduction in my freestyle program is on :lol:. Also, it would be nice to get a CSSp1 called this time around. That's literally it for goals. Making it out on the ice...

I really hope the new "plain black outfit" for the free means we get closer to a clean LP. She did say the costume change is more about getting in the right headspace for the long. Anything that gets her closer to this is fine by me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rAPcpiMWsQ...

Ye of little faith, doubting the politiking powers that even got bronze for :gallopin1 Also, the one skater I really care about got into the LP based on a rule change that made perfect sense on its own, so am holding onto the lining for as long as possible.

Omg, the gif :grandpa: There is a silver lining to this competition, after all :lol:
