New Irina interview   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Re: [SkateFans] New Irina interview

I'm also wondering how the hell she saw him-at COI
they were under pretty bright spotlights and the crowd
was dark.

Then again, at the cheesefests the crowds were lit up.

BTW, selling food at atthleic events is a BIG
MONEYMAKER in the US, so I assume athletes who grew up
competing here are used to it
