Kiss my Grits! RIP! One little known fact is that Polly coached Dustin Hoffman in 'Tootsie', or so I read.

Why would they come back then, if it's not competitive?

I will jump in here re Bradie. Yeah, it wasn't the best program. I didn't like the music cuts. It's so easy to make The Mission music build dramatically and her team is not doing that. Nevertheless, I noted that she is skating with confidence and more command, generally speaking, which...

He has only competed inside Russia the last 4 years, correct? I think that would lead one to believe that the scores were likely inflated.

How does Gummenik have 7 quads BTW? He doesn't have a 4A and he needs a 3A, which would have to be done in a combo w/ a quad to achieve 7 quads (?) I randomly came across Gummenik's test SP on YT and it was eyebrow-raising to be sure. I personally find the wardrobe changes though to be gimmicky...

^Probably rusty for being out of competition for so long (?)

By the way, do Shin / Nagy have a shot at nabbing a 3d spot for the US in the pairs event. I looked at the list and I don't recognize any of the pairs. I think the Chinese pair will probably do well. What spot must be attained to qualify in pairs? 5th?

does it delve into her teenage years, her family life and college years, and pre-fame in NYC?

IN pairs, is this the same PRK team that competed at the last Olympics? There's a weird irony that PRK is allowed to compete and Russia isn't

Wow. So Amber is using an authentic version of Like a Prayer. I'm very happy about that!

I didn't hear her music but the movie itself is beautiful. Very touching. Maybe there are different cuts of music than the cuts you are thinking of?

Cinema Paradiso will showcase her Italian roots ... in Milan for the Olympic games. Probably a strategy there

Yikes! That is terrible considering she in on the comeback trail (?)

BUMP Just random question - Does anyone miss the old Olympic schedule order when the Pairs event was always first? From 1976 - 84, I remembered it was Pairs, Ice Dance, Men, and Women (or Ladies if you will), then in 1988, they put Men after Pairs. I just think that with the crazy jumps men...

Is this going to actually be Madonna? Or is it going to be a lame muzak version a la Rochette circa 2006?
