Yes, them plus Midori...been thinking of this a lot lately. And what if these ladies, especially Tonya, had had an Amber Glenn around? Heck maybe Surya could've cried on her shoulder instead of the podium moment at 94 worlds. I also...just with recently learning about how Amber was criticized...

She is 20 (and a half), but yes!!!

Wow, being US #3 I guess you just cant be behind Canada #2. C&P had the superior skate IMO, as well as to Smart & Dieck. BS judging there IMO, though I am glad S&D arent going to be in the 2nd group with their awesome FD.

Yes I noticed this in the practice video I watched one day (and yes, Ellie fell on every triple throw). Been curious as well, especially since the Uzbek team split up (is the new pairing training with her?) I guess Mishkutenok stayed in Colorado for the rest of their teams?

Yes, I remember Kavaguti medaling at junior worlds with Markuntsov representing Japan back in 2001 before her name was russified. Even then she was with Moskvina, though mostly in Hackensack, NJ. And Takahashi & Tran, though again it was only the woman who was Japanese. BTW does anyone know if...

I now see it again!

I get this perspective, and she was being interviewed about her experience and if that is how she experienced it I can understand wanting to share it.

This was soooooo much better than the Torino opening ceremony IMO. Well done!!!!!

I gotta say I just love the spiral floor and its uses. When I first saw it I thought it was a labyrinth and I actually teared up

I dont mind it, but because of documentaries on eastern bloc athletes in the 90s I once thought the anthem of the GDR was the Olympic hymn....

Anyone else have the team pairs short tile just gone? :huh:
