I was thinking of another sh__ word here ...

I mean, I would be fine with banning China for this very reason. :shuffle: The fact of the matter is, that's not what is on the table right now. And if it were on the table, the case for it would have to be made on the basis of different issues than those raised by the invasion of one nation by...

Memories of Julia Vorobieva ...

My vague recollection, as a long-time American follower of Hubert with admittedly poor French, is that her departure from Beyer after the 1994 Olympics was known to be very conflictual at the time. It wasn't until years later that I heard about the elements of sexual abuse, after the video...

For those in the US, this story was covered on NPR this morning. You'll probably be able to find a version later, whether audio or print. Beyer, Abitbol, and Gailhaguet were all discussed by name, with focus on Abitbol and her book.

I really want the sisters to be gone. I was so glad Nicole and Victor weren't eliminated, not because they're my favorite team but because I want them to last longer than the sisters. And wait, people here don't like team fun? They are awesome, and always bring a smile to my face!

Excellent decision on the part of the committee.

OMG I completely forgot about this! :rofl: :eek: :rofl: I couldn't believe what I was seeing at the time!

I actually enjoyed the ending quite a lot. Circling back to the beginning episode, with the press conference and the slap, was brilliant. Except that Alicia is a completely different person now, which I thought was sort of the point. Now her future will look completely different than she must...

So, I must have missed this up-thread ... but what is he going to be doing for Toyota?

I remember watching that competition on television. :swoon: I was sure at the time that Kozuka and Amodio were going to dominate men's figure skating for the next several years. :slinkaway

One of my favorite skaters since he was a junior. I always looked forward to his skating, even when his jumps were off. The edges, the footwork, the spins :swoon:. You'll be missed Taka!

In the U.S., PBS News Hour had a story on this tonight that featured an interview with Christine Brennan. Of all U.S. journalists, I would expect Brennan to seize on any opportunity to talk about figure skating if there was any chance of a connection to scandal. But as far as I heard, she...

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but ... the wrestlers have actually grown on me. Not that I want to meet them in person or anything. They just seem more entertaining than they did earlier in the season. I do think they've benefited from the fact that this season seems to have more...

I wasn't free on Friday but spent all day today looking forward to watching Friday night's episode on demand this evening ... only to find that it wasn't there and I'd completely forgotten about the two-week break. :wall: :wuzrobbed
