Others researched the rule and say 3 spots still...scroll back one page for the detailed rule and reasoning, i forget.

Agree completely about Rino. Her progression in the last year reminds me of Kwan between 1995 and 1996. She is fast and has gorgeous edges and great ice coverage. The footwork is interesting and so musical, i forgot it was a judged element. It doesnt look like "rulebook" footwork like most...

I don't know you or Lee, but I've seen this thread consistently for a few years. I'm adding you to my prayers, as small and inconsequential as that is. We all need some prayers and encouragement right now, but you guys are extra deserving. Anyone who reads any updates has learned what true love...

LOL at how this thread morphed from "Russian ladies are dominating, then comes Japan, USA and a little bit of Korea. No other country in the mix this Grand Prix season" to "How injured are or were the Russian ladies in the last 2 years." Lol.

So, looking at the top 20 finishers in the ladies GP standings, all 20 hail from 1) Russia 2)Japan 3)USA or 4)Korea. It has been an obvious trend over the last decade that Russia was headed towards ladies' dominance, with Japan, USA and Canada trying to keep up. Now with Osmond (CAN) retired and...

If I fell multiple times in a routine, or my partner threw me and I slid into the boards, I'd stop mid-routine for a cigarette/long island iced tea.

Two single session tickets available for the pairs and mens free on Saturday, Oct 19th. 4th row. Asking for $50 each obo. PM me for details.

Selling up to three tickets to Las Vegas Skate America Pairs and men's free skate for Saturday, Oct. 19th. Section 118 Row DD (4th Row). Private message me if interested.

The Orleans offers free shuttle service to and from the Strip. There are three stops on the route: The Orleans, its sister casino hotel Gold Coast (located by Rio and across from Palms), and a stop behind the Linq Hotel/Flamingo Hotel at the High Roller (the ferris wheel.) You do not have to be...

Thanks Tony for the info!!

I apologize if this is already answered... Is it announced when individual session tickets will be on sale? Also how much do these typically cost? Thanks in advance for any insights. We will only be in town for the Saturday free skates and will probably just do one session Saturday.

He also listed Debi Thomas as a silver medalist in 1988, sigh. At least he didn't mention her go fund me page and poor life decisions, now THAT is rock bottom.

Nationals has fallen SO FAR in importance that exactly one spot out of 10 Olympic spots between the four disciplines...yes, ONE OLYMPIC SPOT...went against the standings at Nationals. It went to a skater who placed 7 or so points back, or about the base value of a 3lutz in the bonus. OMG, the...

Your repeated use of the term "fabulous" loser sounds like a gay insult to me and I am offended. I wasn't born yesterday so don't try to spin this any other way. It is noted you did not use any other similar adjective like fantastic, exceptional. super, etc. You intentionally chose "fabulous"...

Point taken...given tv and internet didn't exist in 1920, Id argue all the competitors were little known except to the few judges that existed. As for assuming an American skater, I did assume this. This is a thread almost 100% about the selection of the American team, and our replies back and...
