Braden's LP from 2005 Nationals set the audience on fire... because he had the jumps and all the other stuff that makes his skating so wonderful. I'm glad I...
I watched Megan's FS on Ice Network. She placed 2nd in the FS and thre's where she placed after a disastrous SP. While watching her jumps, I swear she did at...
... Megan Hyatt's jumps in her Mids FS were: 3T-2Lp, 2Z, walley to 3S (light hand down), 3T, 2A, 2A-2T, 3S-2T-2Lp. She showed a lot of guts in coming back...
I think they bowed out of Skate America because it was the first comp of the season and they knew they wouldn't be ready, so they went to Cup of China to give...
One of my friends and her daughters (stationed in Okinawa, and one girl skates recreationally) decided to head up to Nagano to watch skating. She didn't give...

... comp of the season and they knew they wouldn't be ready, so they went to Cup of China to give themselves more training time, right? ... They do not seem...
... While I think the odds are 2, 3 or 4 to 1 against Kimmie getting the gold again this year, I think nothing would be better for Kimmie than to go to Worlds...
I actually think that ladies skating in the US is not in very good shape right now. There's Kimmie ... then who? As far as I'm concerned, no other ladies have...
... OTOH, playing devil's advocate a bit here, one could argue that Kwan was such an obstacle that the US lost an entire "generation" of skaters who up and...
I've finally uploaded all the photos I'd taken in Paris. http://photo.fsonline.ru/index.php?cat=199 Now, all I have to do is to sort through Cup of Russia...
Ben writes the following: "Asada is a lot more like Cohen than Kwan in terms of nailing one clean program after the next." Oh really, and you know this how?...

... I do think that's a striking fact, but I don't think it has anything to do with Kwan. Hughes won her Olympic gold medal and then went to college - she...
Tanith and Ben are delightful in many ways, but their programs are not stacking up against others so far this season. Yes, get thee to Dean -- but isn't he...
Sandra, Isn't that usually true -- that once skaters complete high school, a lot of them drop out because they realize that skating is preventing them from ...
... either Mao or Yu Na. >>> I feel the same, although it might be too early for me to make that conclusion, having seen Kim only once. However, I've seen...
I know most discussion on this boards is about 'eligible' skating, but am I the only person out there who watched Ice Wars on CBS Tv last night? I guess the...
For all of those who think you know how to run a better event at US Nationals - here's your chance!! The detailed description certainly gives you the idea...
... I agree that none of the other US ladies who've been on the Grand Prix this fall seem to be doing much to establish themselves as contenders. OTOH,...
So here is how bad I think this is going to be... I will be driving RIGHT BY the Boston University Arena on Sunday mid- morning, on my way back from visiting...
... Yeah, yeah. Like I said, I was playing devil's advocate. ;-) I'm sure real Kwan haterz can find a way to blame her for injuries to other skaters, the...
... Last year I decided to pass on this event even though I live within walking distance of the arena. But this year, they dropped the price of the "cheap...
... Man, David, I think I still owe you some chow from back in '99, but here goes. The 'lost generation' of skaters -- not just in the US, but internationally...
CBC finally deigned to broadcast Skate America this afternoon. I now understand what everyone was complaining about re: the blade sounds. I know someone...
... The actual CBC? I thought Country Canada (a digital channel) was airing it because CBC was showing the Liberal Leadership Race (A Canadian version of the...
