Tesia:	Okay, folks... Worlds Preview!  What do you think of the qualifying
rounds?
Tesia:	Only when you're not trying, Jenny. :-)
URGOS:	anyone heard how tara did?
IL Alum 89:	Of course Hollander was the big surprise!!!
Tesia:	Tara won Group B....
MyKurt:	<G>  Good point.
Tesia:	Yeah, IL.... :-(
MyKurt:	What's Group B?
KurtSkate:	The only news I've heard is about Dan :-(
Anjule:	What's group B?
Tesia:	Two groups of qualifying-- A & B.  The top 15 from each make the short
program.
URGOS:	michelle won group a right?
IL Alum 89:	I was also surprised at how low Chen Lu qualified
Tesia:	Michelle won A, Tara won B. :-)
Minorcin:	Tara did fantastic. She's putting in 3/lutz3/loop for the finals.
SkateJoy:	good grief !!
MyKurt:	Wow!  Quite the US ladies battle we have here!

URGOS:	so how did Lulu do exactly?
Tesia:	Lulu finished 11th in her group.
DellaG:	LuLu bombed.
MyKurt:	Wonder how Todd's doing??
Minorcin:	IHOP says she's landing it good in practice.
DellaG:	She did one triple, generally singled every thing else.
DellaG:	I believe she also fell once.
Tesia:	Todd apparently looked good in the qual round, despite going splat on
a 3axel.
URGOS:	are the men's tomorrow night or wednesday?
SkateJoy:	I'm sorry to hear that, she's such a wonderful skater........
MyKurt:	:-)
DellaG:	Men's Starts Wednesday.
IL Alum 89:	Hopefully she didn't fall on a single.
DellaG:	No, probably trying a triple.

URGOS:	does anyone know why men's short will only be seen on espn2--a channel
most people don't get
Tesia:	That's the way it goes, URGOS... my ABC affiliate is preempting the
men's final!!!!
RIVAPAT:	oh really, I didn't realize it was on ESPN2--they did the same thing
with the US nationals.
MyKurt:	Because skating fans are discriminated against.  :P
MyBrian:	I get it but probably won't be able to watch
URGOS:	will we see any short programs?
IL Alum 89:	I figure better on ESPN2 than not at all.
DGeorge994:	I hope ABC gets it together one of these days
Lslatk:	for a lot of us it is not at all
URGOS:	so basically check in with Fran to see how Todd did
MyKurt:	We should just have a channel with all skating, 24 hours a day...
RIVAPAT:	So, does ESPN 2 have coverage tomorrow or is it on Wed?
MyKurt:	Of course I'd never leave the house....<G>
Minorcin:	Tomorrow is pairs short

Pepper1621:	Hello everyone.
RIVAPAT:	Unless Meno and Sand have recovered from Todd's injury and have
gotten past their lapses of
MyBrian:	they sure were
RIVAPAT:	late, I can easily see them finishing 5th.
Minorcin:	Ihop says Jenni and Todd look great.
CASKM:	Hi Debbie!  You were right about the new Troy number.  It is a local
call.  No more long
CASKM:	distance
OnlineHost:	Pepper1621 has left the room.
SkateJoy:	I was hoping all this time off since Nationals would do M&S some
good.......
IL Alum 89:	See...I saved you money for more blank tapes :)
Tesia:	I think, in pairs, this is Woetzel & Steuer's year, since
Tesia:	Meno & Sand are having problems...
CASKM:	Thank you very much!
SkateJoy:	LIke what, Jaime ?
Tesia:	Todd's back... that's a serious one.
OnlineHost:	Icekick has left the room.
SkateJoy:	well, yeah, I knew about that from the pull out at CSF......
RIVAPAT:	I think Woetzel and Steur will finish no lower than 2nd, but  any of
the Russian teams could
MyBrian:	they sure are having bad luck this year
SkateJoy:	but I hadn't heard anything since.....
CASKM:	What do you think about Nicole.  Second behind Tara in qualifying...
RIVAPAT:	beat them if they skated cleanly and W&S didn't...I think it will
take a mistake on W&S part
RIVAPAT:	for them not to win it this year!
MyKurt:	Really??  WTG Nicole!!
Tesia:	I don't see any of the Russians on top... K&D are
Tesia:	inconsistant, E&B are bland, and B&S are young.
Skate Doc:	Todd has sacroiliac<sp>problems.
DGeorge994:	I think Tara had the highest overall marks - and good artistic
marks, I heard
SkateJoy:	Mandy will have to be on top of her nerves.......
IL Alum 89:	If K&D get it together they could win gold.
RIVAPAT:	B&S are very good though...like I said it is W&S to lose, but they
have to be clean!

Tesia:	URGOS, I think it's likely, if M&S are not in top shape.
MplsSk8r:	Geesh, it's about time!  :-O
IL Alum 89:	I think that I&D could beat M&S
MyBrian:	Hi
RIVAPAT:	I&D very easily could beat M&S
MyKurt:	BRB
MplsSk8r:	Hi everyone!!!
CASKM:	If they skate clean and do the triple toes they could
MplsSk8r:	Stop talking about me!  :)
IL Alum 89:	I'm one of the few that likes I&D better than M&S
SkateJoy:	I would love to see I&D move up again from last year !!
URGOS:	for some reason i just don't think they'll have the artistic marks
Tesia:	Actually, of the American pairs, I'm hoping for a top 10
Tesia:	finish for Steigler & Zimmerman...they excite me. :-)
OnlineHost:	DGeorge994 has left the room.
MplsSk8r:	Ooh, Jaime!  :-D
KurtSkate:	<g>

instead of the yellow ones
SkateJoy:	Yes, I agree URGOS, they still have a lot of work to do in that
department
Tesia:	Hush, Kelly....:-P
RIVAPAT:	They may not get great artistic marks, but I could easily see I&D
outperforming M&S
MplsSk8r:	j/k!  :))
RIVAPAT:	technically.
RIVAPAT:	I agree...I dont' care for those yellow outfits.
MyBrian:	me either
MyKurt:	I'll be back in a few, guys....I HOPE!  :-(

KurtSkate:	Dan
SkateJoy:	If they skate clean, I'm curious to see what artistic marks the
judges will give S&Z........
MyBrian:	what happened?
Minorcin:	TODD!!!!!
CASKM:	I have my fingers crossed for Todd
SkateJoy:	Go Todd !!!!!!!!!!!
IL Alum 89:	I think it's going to be Eldredge, Stojko, and Urmanov on the
podium.
RIVAPAT:	Urmanov or Kulik in either order 1, 2, Eldredge 3rd, Stojko 4th
KurtSkate:	He didn't qualify, Barb :-(
Tesia:	I think Todd has it if Elvis doesn't land the quad/triple
Tesia:	perfectly.  If Elvis does, then...it's up in the air, if they're
Tesia:	both clean.

CASKM:	I don't think Michael Weiss has a chance at a top 4 unless someone
really bombs
Lslatk:	If Elvis is clean, it will be a toss up between Todd and Elvis
RIVAPAT:	I don't think his artistic marks would be as high at worlds.
SkateJoy:	Eldredge/Kulik - Gold/Silver    Elvis/Urmanov - Bronze...

Skate Doc:	Hi Marge
Tesia:	Hi, Marge...:-)
Galileocan:	Well...........if Elvis skates like he did in Hamilton......GOLD
TFPeker:	I'd be glad if Urmanov wins
MplsSk8r:	You really can't say Michael doesn't have a chance at the top 4,
that's unfair to say.
MyBrian:	Hello Marge
RIVAPAT:	I agree about Urmanov being on the podium
KurtSkate:	Hi Marge..did Kimber send you to check on us ? ;)
TFPeker:	hi Marge
CASKM:	Where have you been, MyBrian?  Remember Independence Day?

and most clean gloves....
MyBrian:	What you talking about?

MplsSk8r:	Gal!!!!  ROTFL!
IL Alum 89:	I have to say that seeing Urmanov in person has made me a fan.

hes relatively new to the wo

waggles.????

Tesia:	for skating chat during the week, this room is open any

clean and lands his
MyKurt:	Kelly!  :-PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
RIVAPAT:	quad....he's very impressive.
Galileocan:	Kulik was EXTREMELY undermarked in Hamilton
MyBrian:	There's never anyone there
RIVAPAT:	I AGREE--he was way undermarked!
CASKM:	Ilia was very sloppy in Hamilton
IL Alum 89:	It will be very interesting if the "big 4" all hit their
programs.
MyKurt:	This room is empty any other time except now.  :P
MyBrian:	He's adorable (big red cheeks)
Tesia:	Well, if you want to schedule a chat, just announce it on the boards!

program - "Twinkle Little Star"
URGOS:	i hope michelle kicks ***
Anjule:	Tara
TFPeker:	me too
IL Alum 89:	The US ladies are looking good....Michelle is my pick
KurtSkate:	LOL
SkateJoy:	LOL!!!!!!

CASKM:	I hope Michelle, but it is looking like Tara will take it
Lslatk:	So do I
Tesia:	Kimber wants me to remind everyone that *she* first
Tesia:	predicted a US ladies sweep...<EG>
Minorcin:	US Sweep!!
TFPeker:	I hope Lulu will have a good skate
Galileocan:	Tara will NOT be successful in dethroning Ms.
Kwan..........although it would be nice to see
KurtSkate:	My loyalty still lies with Michelle
MyBrian:	I hope Michelle does good too
Galileocan:	a shake up
MyKurt:	<---------agruing with a fellow household member
Skate Doc:	Break out the brooms.
URGOS:	what about the news about michelle's growth spurt?
DellaG:	Don't count on Lulu.
OnlineHost:	CDNSK8 has entered the room.

really don't think Michelle

VivaLsVgs:	It sounds like Lu bombed in the qualifying
MyBrian:	Ugg.we all grow old
CDNSK8:	Hello Everyone!
CASKM:	LuLu had a lot of trouble in the qualifying
RIVAPAT:	is going to win it all...she appears rattled.
MyBrian:	Hi
Anjule:	So true, MyBrian.
SkateJoy:	I do want Michelle and Nichole to do well, I just think right now,
Tara's nerves will hold
RIVAPAT:	I had hoped LuLu would arrive her old self and challenge, but it
doesn't look likely.
TFPeker:	who knows, maybe next year Lulu delivers a Rudy
VivaLsVgs:	I think the US women can sweep if they all skate clean
MyBrian:	I don't need another growth spurt
Tesia:	The US's only wild card is Nicole... how will she do under
Tesia:	international pressure again?
CDNSK8:	ELVIS and SHAE & VICTOR ALL THE WAY!!!!!
Galileocan:	If LuLu couldn't beat Michelle with the performance she gave last
year...what in God's name
DellaG:	Michelle's confidence, IMHO, is low.  She felt panic again during
qualifying.
VivaLsVgs:	She did well in qualifying
Galileocan:	can she possibly do?
Tesia:	Qualifying is one thing...actual competition is another.
Lslatk:	Hopefully Michelle will pull it together
URGOS:	did they qualify with long or short program?
MyBrian:	she sure did panic
Tesia:	They qualify with the long...
DellaG:	Qualify with long program.
Tesia:	Well..... lull in the conversation.... we haven't hit dance yet--
comments?
DellaG:	But, what I read is that Irina coasted after hitting her first four
triples.
URGOS:	nicole seems to either bomb or star in the long
MyKurt:	I'm outta here tonight....I can't deal with this person in my
house....GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
IL Alum 89:	Michelle might be better off not being the defending World
Champion going into the Olympics
MyKurt:	Goodnight all!
MyBrian:	what do you think of Tara's win? A fluke?
SkateJoy:	Sorry, Jen......ttyl !!!!!!
TFPeker:	bye
Anjule:	G'night, Jen.
DellaG:	Night.
MyBrian:	By Jenny
KurtSkate:	'Night Jenny
Tesia:	'nite, Jenny...:-)
URGOS:	definitely---luck more like it, mybrian--she has absolutely no
artistry!!!
OnlineHost:	MyKurt has left the room.
DellaG:	One win is possibly a fluke.  Tara won twice.
SkateJoy:	I don't think so, MyBrian - not the way she skated at CSF & now in
qualifying
CASKM:	Tara deserved to win.  No fluke on her part.
IL Alum 89:	Tara won because Michelle lost.
MyBrian:	I agree
Galileocan:	I'm glad Tara won in Hamilton............everyone who deserved to
win....WON.....fairness...
Galileocan:	what a twist in skating juding!
MplsSk8r:	No need to bash Tara.
URGOS:	good point IL Alum 89
IL Alum 89:	With 2 clean programs I think that Michelle would be the victor
Minorcin:	Her artitic marks were high in qualifing.
Minorcin:	artistic
Skate Doc:	Look for Tara to have two triple/triples in the long.
MyBrian:	Can you imagine how
RIVAPAT:	Yes, if Michelle skates cleanly, her aritisitc marks will beat
Tara's, but Tara has really
DellaG:	Gal, maybe there is hope yet.
RIVAPAT:	improved her artistry this past year.
CASKM:	I agree
MyBrian:	can you imagine how Tara will jump when she's older?
Anjule:	Gotta leave now - g'night, all. :)
RIVAPAT:	2 Triple Triples by Tara in the long?
OnlineHost:	Anjule has left the room.
MyBrian:	Nite
MplsSk8r:	Hopefully just a little higher.  :-)
DellaG:	The question is, will she able able to jump when she is older.
URGOS:	i imagine not very well since she doesn't have a very good take off
now
IL Alum 89:	I hope that Tara can keep up her jumps with the onset of puberty.
Tesia:	'nite, Ann! ;-)
MplsSk8r:	Nighty-night Ann!
SkateJoy:	I just wish she could correct her double axel ......( Tara that is
)
Skatephile:	Is Tara's 2nd triple combo going to be a 3toe/3toe at the end of
her long?
SkateJoy:	Night Ann !!!
CASKM:	Tara may have trouble because she doesn't get much height.
Skate Doc:	Loop/Loop & Lutz/Loop
RIVAPAT:	Yes, her double axel is not attractive at all and his flat.
IL Alum 89:	Cas she do 3 Loops
TFPeker:	no
MplsSk8r:	Lutz/Loop triple/triple too?
IL Alum 89:	Can she do 3 Loops?
TFPeker:	nope
MyBrian:	who knows
Skate Doc:	Yep. She was doing three per practice in Hamilton.
MplsSk8r:	I can't even do ONE loop right now!  ugh
IL Alum 89:	I guess she could do 8 loops but she would be breaking the rules
:)
Galileocan:	I have only one thing to say...................................
CASKM:	I don't think she carries enough speed out of the second loop.
TFPeker:	I mean she's capable of it, but it's illegal
Tesia:	Yes, Gal? :-)
Galileocan:	GO SURYA GO....GO SURYA GO....GO SURYA GO.....GO SURYA GO...
Galileocan:	SKATE GIRL
Tesia:	Gal... hate to break it to ya, but Surya won't be there. <g>
MplsSk8r:	Surya won't be going far.
Galileocan:	WHAT!?\
IL Alum 89:	Where is Surya going?  Not to Worlds this year
Skate Doc:	She went Gal.
Galileocan:	WHAT
CDNSK8:	GO SUSAN!
URGOS:	because...
Galileocan:	BOOO OHOOHOHOHOHOHOH...............
MplsSk8r:	The French Federation wouldn't let her go, she didn't pass their
test.
Galileocan:	those French....
Skatephile:	How did Chen Lu do in qualifying today?
Galileocan:	she should defect and skate for Mexico
MplsSk8r:	LOL
SkateJoy:	<g>
TFPeker:	LOL
CASKM:	11th in her qualifying group
Tesia:	Lulu looked really bad, apparently...finished 11th in her group.
MyBrian:	Ole!
MplsSk8r:	Poor Dan Hollander!  I could just cry... :::::::sobbing:::::::::
TFPeker:	well, gotta go
SkateJoy:	Oh, I know !!  I was so sure he'd do well !!!!!
IL Alum 89:	My heart truly aches for Dan :(
MyBrian:	Nite
Tesia:	'nite, Tanya...:-)
TFPeker:	byr
MplsSk8r:	It just does not make any sense!!  Ugh!
SkateJoy:	G'night :)
TFPeker:	I mean bye
URGOS:	he was so confident that he's win nationals...
Minorcin:	I read that Stiegler/Zimmerman look scared to death.
Skatephile:	So any word from Dan H?  Did he think he could eke out of
qualifying w/ mostly doubles?
SkateJoy:	really ???  that bad , huh ?
MplsSk8r:	Hey URGOS, are you being sarcastic there?
RIVAPAT:	S&Z have so much potential!
OnlineHost:	TFPeker has left the room.
Tesia:	Really, Minorcin?  :-(  Hope that doesn't bode for the future...
SkateJoy:	I love their LP !!!!!!!!
IL Alum 89:	I loved S&Z's long program
Minorcin:	First Worlds. I'd be scared too.
Galileocan:	I think the US World team is the strongest in many many a
year......you guys will do GREAT!
Tesia:	It's looking more and more like a US ladies sweep, a la 91....:-)
MplsSk8r:	I dunno what happened with Dan.  Maybe his mind was on skiing the
Alps??
CDNSK8:	Any Canadians here tonight?
Galileocan:	and a silver medal in mens is something you will be able to be
very proud of!
MplsSk8r:	That's right, Gal!
Tesia:	Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, Gal...or
Tesia:	your quads before they're landed...
SkateJoy:	I don't think so, Gal :)
CASKM:	Don't be so sure Gal
SkateJoy:	Good one, Jaime !!!!!!
Minorcin:	I have to do a profile on S/Z. Any info to offer?
OnlineHost:	GoodyGa has entered the room.
Tesia:	GoodyGa, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
Tesia:	Tonight's topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're
Tesia:	ready! :-)
OnlineHost:	URGOS has left the room.
IL Alum 89:	Isn't Zimmerman from Alabama or Mississippi or one of those
Southern states?
GoodyGa:	Hi Jamie..and everyone else!
Galileocan:	Well...........Todd had a perfect program in Hamilton
(perfection) and it was still 6-1 ..
Galileocan:	so we'll seeeeeee
Skatephile:	Birmingham, AL
SkateJoy:	I think it's AL
Minorcin:	From Alabama. He skated at the rink where I live.
CASKM:	It could be Alexei also Gal
IL Alum 89:	Todd didn't hit is 3A/3T...only a 3A/2T
Tesia:	True, Gal..but I think the qual rounds showed that Elvis
Tesia:	needs a quad to beat him...we'll see...
Galileocan:	Alexei? WOW....the first Gloved champion since Muhamad Ali!
SkateJoy:	lol
KurtSkate:	LOL
Skatephile:	Gloveless now, I hear! :-)
MyBrian:	Or Michael Jackson
GoodyGa:	Is anyone here in Lausanne now?
RIVAPAT:	you people think you are so funny concerning Urmanov
Tesia:	Don't think so, Jen...it's 4AM over there. :-)
MplsSk8r:	Yeah, in my dreams... ::::sigh::::::
DellaG:	What time is it in Lausanne?
SkateJoy:	I wish, Goody :)
MyBrian:	Or O.J. Simpson
Galileocan:	now Riva.....just relax hon...we're just pokin fun
SkateJoy:	EEK. OJ.
RIVAPAT:	I am just fine Gal, thanks though!
GoodyGa:	<---- FEELING STUPID NOW!
CASKM:	I was impressed with Alexei in Hamilton
IL Alum 89:	OJ only had one glove...right?
SkateJoy:	Good technical point, IL <g>
Tesia:	Alexei's spins still hold him back,though they're better than they
were in 94....
Minorcin:	So did Michael Jackson
MyBrian:	No there were two, Michael had only one
MplsSk8r:	Something new for Alexei - one glove
CDNSK8:	I loved Alexei's short program from Hamilton!
KurtSkate:	Sorry, RIVA..not laughing at Alexi, just laughing at Gal :)
Galileocan:	Or maybe he could wear a veil?
RIVAPAT:	It's just a little annoying that Alexei is always the one who is
constantly the source of
RIVAPAT:	jokes in this chat room...
Galileocan:	well......okay.....I'll stop
Galileocan:	So...how about those gloves on Urmanov?
SkateJoy:	sorry, Riva....:)
Galileocan:	:-0
Tesia:	Constantly?  I don't seem to remember 'constantly'.....
Tesia:	everyone is poked fun at eventually. :-)
MplsSk8r:	Oh Riva, I know it's annoying but also funny at times.  I am a BIG
Urmanov fan.
Minorcin:	Why does he wear them?
CASKM:	Todd is my favorite, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the
strengths the others have
Galileocan:	you know what folks.............breathe deeply..and laugh
heartily...if someone has an Elvis
Galileocan:	joke...by all means...let me have it!
RIVAPAT:	Tesia--I really don't think you can honestly believe that others are
ridiculed like Urmanov-
CDNSK8:	Hey Now!
MplsSk8r:	Very well said, CASKM!
MyBrian:	Now don't get "All shook up"
MplsSk8r:	LOL!
Tesia:	RIVAPAT- *have* you ever heard any of the Elvis jokes?
Tesia:	They're more brutal than the Alexei jokes, sometimes. :-)
Tesia:	It's just that your personal favorite strikes more of a chord...
Tesia:	happens to all of us.
CASKM:	I hope everyone skates well and let the judges decide
Tesia:	And now, folks, since we seem to be degenerating rapidly,
Tesia:	and time is close enough, I'll throw it open to General Chat
Tesia:	officially. :-)
IL Alum 89:	If everyone skates well I think it will be interesting
scoring...who would win?
RIVAPAT:	NO, Tesia...Alexei is not my favorite, but I feel he gets a bum rap
in here!
MyBrian:	Last week they picked on Brian B.
MplsSk8r:	I don't know any Elvis jokes!  (hint hint)
Tesia:	Do you have any concrete examples outside of tonight, RIVA?
RIVAPAT:	Yes, I could go on and on...the worst one was...
Galileocan:	Brian B?
Galileocan:	Brian B?
MyBrian:	Boitano
Galileocan:	who?
Tesia:	Gal-- don't start....:-)
MplsSk8r:	oh stop it
Galileocan:	okay...
MyBrian:	very funny
Galileocan:	hee hee
MplsSk8r:	:-D
KurtSkate:	<g>
RIVAPAT:	"It's a disgrace that Urmanov is an Olympic champion," but that
wasn't funny
SkateJoy:	you're just an evil little thing tonight, Gal, aren't ya ???  <g>
OnlineHost:	CHBRON has entered the room.
MplsSk8r:	You're right Riva, that's not very funny or very nice...
Tesia:	If I remember that one correctly, that was accompanied by
Tesia:	a technical comment, which made it appropriate...but I've
Tesia:	heard the same caliber of thing said about other skaters... I
Tesia:	may not like it, but Alexei isn't the only one that suffers it.
RIVAPAT:	No and it went on and on from there one night and was allowed.
SkateJoy:	Comments like that are highly unnecessary...
Galileocan:	me evil? nonnonon
Galileocan:	Live by the sword....die by the sword.....
RIVAPAT:	No, it didn't make it appropriate!
SkateJoy:	<g>
MplsSk8r:	Just that some people can't have a favorite skater and be happy for
their rivals also!!
OnlineHost:	GoodyGa has left the room.
Galileocan:	I can..
CDNSK8:	Where are you from Gal?
Galileocan:	I gave Todd a standing ovation and cheered for him in
Edmonton....
Galileocan:	he deserved it
Tesia:	If it's a skating-related comment, it's appropriate for this
Tesia:	forum, as long as it follows TOS.  I don't have to like it, but I
Tesia:	have to allow it.
Galileocan:	I am from France
Galileocan:	My name is Zeldar
RIVAPAT:	Let's just drop it...Alexei will always be made fun of in here
because people like doing it.
Galileocan:	yes.....I am a conehead
KurtSkate:	lol
Galileocan:	just ask anyone..
SkateJoy:	You're also a little nutty......<g>
Galileocan:	better nutty than stuffy...:-))
MplsSk8r:	As long as it's in good fun...<g>
MyBrian:	ditto
Galileocan:	life's more fun!
SkateJoy:	but that's ok <g>
Tesia:	Everyone will be made fun of here, RIVA-- it's the nature of
Tesia:	skating fans.  It makes it much easier if you just ignore the
Tesia:	stuff you know to be petty. :-)
KurtSkate:	That's 'cause he has a cone for a head ;)
CASKM:	Just a little nuttly? <g>
IL Alum 89:	"Conehead" wasn't the word I heard to describe you :)
Tesia:	Okay, folks, is Gal's sanity a skating related topic?
Galileocan:	LOL...YAH>>>
VivaLsVgs:	Who can honestly say that Alexei deserved the gold over Elvis in
94? Judging was a joke
RIVAPAT:	I just want to drop it now, but you can go back and look at logs for
this and I would be
MplsSk8r:	Just like everyone makes fun of Tesia, it's all fun!
KurtSkate:	Sometimes it is :)
RIVAPAT:	willing to lay odds on who's  been the butt of jokes the most.
OKsfan:	the judges did
MplsSk8r:	Viva, Viva, Viva...so many times have I posted on the boards about
Urmanov vs Stojko!
VivaLsVgs:	Im still mad..and its 3 years later !!
IL Alum 89:	Alexei chooses to present a different personality than most
skaters....people are going to
IL Alum 89:	notice and comment
Tesia:	Actually, I'd lay odds on Oksana being in most jokes, but that's just
me. :-)
OnlineHost:	CHBRON has left the room.
MplsSk8r:	I for one can honestly say Alexei deserved the gold, and I'm a
diehard Elvis fanatic!!!!
RIVAPAT:	Of the men I should say
CDNSK8:	What's the latest on Oksana?
Galileocan:	Well MplsSk8r....I truly am astounded.......
VivaLsVgs:	come on Maple...how can you say that ?
MplsSk8r:	Just look at the programs side by side...Alexei used the ice more,
skated faster,
Minorcin:	Did you hear what Oksana did at the fund raiser?
IL Alum 89:	Didn't Oksana bag some charity event?
MplsSk8r:	and Elvis had five complete stops - the judges frowned on that.
Galileocan:	Alexei is NOT as artistic as you may think....
Galileocan:	those arms and hands and knock knees...UGHGHGH
Tesia:	Either one deserved the gold... Elvis had something of a
Tesia:	lack of connecting moves, and Alexei's spins weren't the
Lslatk:	Oksana walked out
Tesia:	best.  They both had flaws, and strengths.
OnlineHost:	Pepper1621 has entered the room.
VivaLsVgs:	I call Alexei the "puppet"...he looks like someones pulling
strings and he moves his arms
OnlineHost:	Pepper1621 has left the room.
Galileocan:	boy does he ever Viva....
Galileocan:	no kidddin
MplsSk8r:	That's right, Jaime!  They both had flaws...but it came down to
utilization of the ice.
DellaG:	Oksana did not "walk out".  She just decided she didn't want to
skate.
MplsSk8r:	Ugh....it was all reviewed over and over on "Skate TV"  That's all
I'll say......
Lslatk:	Why?
Galileocan:	a wise move on her part...
DellaG:	No reason given as to why.  The report was that she changed her mind
about skating.
CASKM:	Was Oksana on the winter tour?
Tesia:	What Oksana did was immature, pure and simple.  No
Tesia:	matter how you feel, if you make a committment, you
Tesia:	honor it.  Period.
MyBrian:	Boy are you hostile tonight
CDNSK8:	No
DellaG:	No, Oksana was not on the Winter tour.
SkateJoy:	She was supposed to be though.....if I remember correctly
Skatephile:	will Oksana be ready for the sping/summer tour is the real
question!
MyBrian:	She's supposed to be in Miami in May
CDNSK8:	She was in the Tour program
IL Alum 89:	From what I have heard I would say that I thought Oksana's
actions weren't good.
DellaG:	If she could not skate, she should have told the group putting on the
exhibition.  Not
DellaG:	show up, and then refuse to skate.
MplsSk8r:	In a recent magazine article, her press agent said, "One can only
hope."
MyBrian:	She was also listed on the Winter tour
IL Alum 89:	I also heard that the charity event ended up refunding some tix
VivaLsVgs:	What was this exhibition...I live in CT and didn't here any
advertising
OnlineHost:	MHardy3023 has entered the room.
Tesia:	Exactly, Della.  There are ways to handle it-- if it's just "I
Tesia:	don't feel like it today", too bad.  Skating is her job, and we
RIVAPAT:	She was supposed to joint hte tour in mid-Jan but had the accident.
Tesia:	all have to do  our jobs when we don't feel like it.
MplsSk8r:	She just might not be on the tour.  I wouldn't be surprised.
MyBrian:	Hi Marci
RIVAPAT:	join the tour
DellaG:	Yes, a couple of hundres people asked for their money back.  Don't
blame them at all.
Skatephile:	Hi Marci!
Galileocan:	By the way...folks....I think this John Zimmerman guy is.....just
fabulous.................
Galileocan:	what a fabbbbulous artist
MHardy3023:	Hi...I see everybody talking about Oksana
VivaLsVgs:	Isn't he cute ?
CDNSK8:	Hi Marcy!
Tesia:	John Zimmerman.... drool....<g>
RIVAPAT:	While I think it was immature and bold for Oksana do bow out of the
fundraiser after she
SkateJoy:	Isn't he though ?????
Galileocan:	now now....
MyBrian:	among other things
IL Alum 89:	I would hope as a gesture of good faith that perhaps Oksana would
reimburse the charity
KurtSkate:	Jaime!!! <eg>
Galileocan:	I mean his artistic merit as a skater and athlete!
SRSJAS1:	Still looking for "Carmen On Ice",anyone have any new info?
RIVAPAT:	got there, it makes me wonder how stable she is right now because
any rational person
Skatephile:	Is John Z. still linked with Italy's Silvia Fontana?
RIVAPAT:	would know that was not the right thing to do and it would anger
people!
MHardy3023:	Carmen on Ice w/Boitano, Orser and Witt??
OnlineHost:	CCReviewer has entered the room.
MplsSk8r:	No, John Z is linked with Jaime!  <BG>
Tesia:	I wish, Kelly...:-)
SRSJAS1:	yes
VivaLsVgs:	Jaime who?
MplsSk8r:	Well, it sounded nice anyway!
MyBrian:	Ohhhhh Carmen :~D
Tesia:	<--- Jaime. :-)
MHardy3023:	email me for details about Carmen on Ice, ok
DellaG:	If you want to retain your popularity, or to show people you are
trying, you don't do what
IL Alum 89:	I think that Zimmerman is going to be one of the great male pair
skaters...sexy also!
DellaG:	Oksana did.
Galileocan:	How is Katarina Twitt anyhow......gosh I miss her bust....I mean
best!...yikes
MyBrian:	Marci did you watch 3 Masters?
Tesia:	Gal.....::tapping foot::
KurtSkate:	Gal!!!!
SkateJoy:	::::::sigh:::::::::
KurtSkate:	That was really naughty
SRSJAS1:	Alright Gal dont go there.
VivaLsVgs:	at least she got rid of that green unitard she wore for her evita
number
MHardy3023:	Gal!  watch your language!
Galileocan:	sorry.....retraction of comment
Tesia:	Don't make me play mean hostess, Gal......

Galileocan:	Jenny.........I'm Gal......
Galileocan:	Gal.....you're Jenny
RIVAPAT:	I am still drooling over the Battle of the Sexes (Paul) that I saw
live in Nov--tv did not
RIVAPAT:	do it justice!
Skatephile:	How much got left out of the TBS broadcast Viva?
MyKurt:	<-------------falling off the ceiling with MplsSk8r
VivaLsVgs:	yeah...like his "Jim Morrison" number
KurtSkate:	Didn't Paul, Brian and Scott all look absolutely "dashing" in
those vests last night ? ;)

MyKurt:	Huh?
MyBrian:	No I'm in Florida
Galileocan:	ladies....if you are going to talk about drooling over the
boys....cant I talk about Katy's

your keyboards.

KurtSkate:	Sorry, Joy...I'll refrain for now ;)
Galileocan:	I could write a book!
Tesia:	I'm like Kimber-- I draw the line at body parts.  Which

MyKurt:	Gal, were you being crude?  <EG>
Galileocan:	no
SkateJoy:	that's ok, Girly :)
MyKurt:	LOL!!

OnlineHost:	Minorcin has left the room.
SkateJoy:	just rub it in, Laura.............:(
RIVAPAT:	The extra ticket was for the Sat show--the 1st scheduled one.
Tesia:	KJKLF, some of us are going up to Toronto for Canadian Stars on Ice.
Galileocan:	order their chicken wings...they're good!
CASKM:	If SOI was coming to Windsor I could go, but not Toronto.  Hamilton
was enough
Tesia:	Sure, CDNSK8...what time do you think?
KJKLF:	Wow, Tesia, lucky you--who is in it?
CDNSK8:	What time is the show, 8?
Tesia:	New faces that aren't on the US tour-- Brian Orser, Josee

Anjule:	The show is at 7:30.
KurtSkate:	Does anyone have any news about the small Skate The Nation tour in
the States this year?
Galileocan:	Does anyone know where Worlds is in 1999?
Anjule:	I just checked the tickets.
Tesia:	Okay.... any more Worlds comments, anyone?
CDNSK8:	Actually, just checked the ticket, it's 7:30!
MHardy3023:	I have my Montreal tickets in front of me and it says 730pm.
SkateJoy:	Kurt said the Toronto show was one of the worst for
them............
Tesia:	Aren't 99 Worlds in Helsinki?
KJKLF:	i take it you're not going either, MyKurt????
Galileocan:	is it Helsinki?
SkateJoy:	because of all the stuff they have to do before hand........
MyKurt:	:-(   They won't let me.
Tesia:	I think so, Gal...
Tesia:	I could be wrong, though...
MyKurt:	No one wuvs me...........  :-(
RIVAPAT:	7:30 for Toronto...the reason I have an extra tix for Saturday is I
got an even better one
KJKLF:	Poor MyKurt
CDNSK8:	They will probably open the doors at 6:30, what about 5 p.m?
MyKurt:	<------------Jenny
Skate Doc:	'tis that time. 'nite all.
RIVAPAT:	for the Friday show, but its in the same spot, just on ice and I
don't want to duplicate my

SkateJoy:	LOL
Tesia:	He's.... Gal, Jenny. :-)
SoulzMate:	Ladies..........US Ladies are gonna sweep.  I can almost taste it.
MyKurt:	Rather frightening when you first meet him though.
SkateJoy:	We've given you due credit for that tonight, Kimber :)
CASKM:	Your prediction is looking very good right now, Kimber
SoulzMate:	Pairs......I've got my fingers crossed for Meno and Sand or
Kazakova and Dmitriev.
OnlineHost:	VivaLsVgs has left the room.
Tesia:	:-)  This was your first Gal experience, Jenny?  I'm sorry for not
warning you...<g>
SkateJoy:	Heard anything about Todd's back, Kimber ??????
Tesia:	I think W&S have the pairs this year....
MyKurt:	S'okay, Jaime.  I forgive you.  :-)
SoulzMate:	Dance.....Gritschuk and Platov.  I actually like their free dance
this year.  They deserve it.
RIVAPAT:	I want to see B&S skate well--Elena's been through so much and it
gives me the chills a bit
OnlineHost:	OKsfan has left the room.
MyKurt:	I'd vote for G&P too.
SoulzMate:	Joy...the only think I've heard is that it's a little more injured
than they've let on, but they
MHardy3023:	All I heard about Todd's back is he still grimace when lifting
Jenni..they don't do lifts
MHardy3023:	very much right now.
SoulzMate:	are skating, so there's always hope.
RIVAPAT:	to see her partner Anton Sikharulidze on the ice because he reminds
me so much of Sergei
RIVAPAT:	Grinkov in how he presents Elena and how he carries himself on the
ice.
SkateJoy:	Thanks ::::::::::::crossing fingers:::::::::
OnlineHost:	Skatelist has entered the room.
OnlineHost:	Skatelist has left the room.
SoulzMate:	It's horrible luck for M&S, because other than Nats, they've had a
great season.
Venezia817:	i really want to see B&S do well.
SkateJoy:	I know, I was so hoping they'd pull up this year !!!!!!!
SoulzMate:	I want to see all of the skaters do well and then have the best
skater/team win.  :)
CASKM:	Hey Kimber ... AOL added a local number for me so no more long
distance.  Yea!
Tesia:	I also want to see Steigler & Zimmerman make the top ten, at least....
SkateJoy:	That would be neat Jaime :):)
SoulzMate:	CAS....great news!
Skatephile:	Yes, I hope so too Jaime!
KJKLF:	Soulz, I agree, its best when they all skate clean
OnlineHost:	DrCrisC has left the room.
CASKM:	They added a number for Troy
SoulzMate:	Like 94 Olympic pairs....even if you don't agree with results,
everyone agrees that it was a great
SoulzMate:	competition.
Lslatk:	How do they determine how many go next year if no pairs from US
place?
OnlineHost:	MHardy3023 has left the room.
SkateJoy:	Gotta go now, guys - eyelids gettin' droopy .........G'night all
!!!!!!!  :)
SoulzMate:	Lslatk, I think if all three teams place in the top ten, that
outta be enough to send three...but I'm
SoulzMate:	no expert.
SoulzMate:	Nite, Joy!
Anjule:	Night, Joy.  :)
MyKurt:	Night Joy!  :-)
Tesia:	'nite, Joy! :-)
CASKM:	It is the total points of all of the skaters placements
SkateJoy:	Night !!! :)
OnlineHost:	SkateJoy has left the room.
MyKurt:	Five more minutes for me.
CASKM:	21 points or less to get 3 spots
OnlineHost:	GoodyGa has entered the room.
GoodyGa:	Hi room...again!
SoulzMate:	Hi Jen!  :)
MyKurt:	Hello Goody!
Lslatk:	Is that the same for all (mens, etc.)  You can see I'm fairly new to
this.
SoulzMate:	Lslatk, I think so......it's all very similar.
CASKM:	Yes.  That is why Dan's 16 points means that both Todd and Michael
have to have no more
CASKM:	than 5 points total to have 3 for Olympics
KJKLF:	Will the Olympics be based on these Worlds????
KJKLF:	or next years?
Lslatk:	You mean Todd 1st and Michael 4th?
CASKM:	supposedly
GoodyGa:	these...
GoodyGa:	I thought
SoulzMate:	97 Worlds.
CASKM:	or Todd 2nd and Michael 3rd
Lslatk:	LIght bulb! I get it.
SoulzMate:	Lslatk, the worst they can do is a 1-4 or a 2-3 finish in order
for us to send three next year.
Skatephile:	It's gonna be tough for Todd and Mike (his first Worlds too!)
Lslatk:	I'm not familiar with Michael, can he do it?
SRSJAS1:	Anyy big Katarina Witt fans?
GoodyGa:	Poor Dan, he must be feeling so bad right now... Were his ankles
bothering him?
GoodyGa:	does anyone know?
KJKLF:	I like Katarina
Skatephile:	If Michael lands a clean quad.... and the rest of his triples,
perhaps!
SoulzMate:	Lslatk, the problem isn't so much whether or not he can do
it......he's got two things against him.
CASKM:	One of the "top four" will have to mess up for Michael to place 4th or
better
SoulzMate:	1)  He's using Santana music.
SoulzMate:	2)  He's an unknown.
KJKLF:	I'm sorry, which Michael????
Skatephile:	Look what Rudy did last year, Kimber!
KJKLF:	I missed the mens
CASKM:	Michael Weiss
SRSJAS1:	I think Katarina is the best.
GoodyGa:	Didn'y he medal at one of the CS events?
RIVAPAT:	But hte men's field is so strong this year...it's going to take a
miracle for anyone to
KJKLF:	Katarina  tours with Stars on Ice?
CASKM:	Yes, but the judges will favor the "top four" unless they mess up
SRSJAS1:	YES.
KJKLF:	or even if they do.
Venezia817:	i heard that Ilia & Alexei are having great practice sessions.
RIVAPAT:	sneak into the top 4 and push one (Eldredge, Stojko, Kulik, Urmanov)
down to 5th!
KJKLF:	Yes, that'd be neat!
Skatephile:	Well, last year some of the men did "mess up"...
KJKLF:	it could happen
Venezia817:	i think the top 4 men have to mess for M.W. to place in top 4.
SoulzMate:	Alexei Urmanov is infamous for choking at Worlds, that's for sure.
KJKLF:	major mess ups though, or they'll get it anyway==judges, name skater
KJKLF:	don't you think?
Venezia817:	i dont know.  i think Alexei has really gotten his focus back.
CASKM:	Urmanov is looking good so far.  He has been more consistent this year
KJKLF:	Did they all do quads?
CASKM:	Except for Todd, although Elvis missed his
SoulzMate:	I'm not picking on Urmanov, just pointing out that he's had great
seasons in the past, then choked at
SoulzMate:	Worlds.
RIVAPAT:	Did Weiss attempt his quad in qualifying?
CASKM:	I am talking about the qualifying rounds
MyKurt:	Well all, it's time for me to watch Brickhouse, and go to bed.  :-)
Good night!
Tesia:	'nite, Jenny....:-)
MyKurt:	:)
KJKLF:	enjoy the dancer extraordinare
KJKLF:	kurt's something
CASKM:	No Michael Weiss did a tripl;e toe

Tesia:	Sometimes I'd trade ESPN2 for the Sci Fi channel...this week isn't one
of them. <g>
KJKLF:	aren't some of them on "regular" tv?

Tesia:	competition to see how we'd score it. :)
KJKLF:	where is the forum folder??? I* know , lots of questions
GoodyGa:	does anyone get the Classic Sports Channel?
CKepp:	I think its a forum for us to discuss the blind judges at
competitions.
CASKM:	Yes I get Classic Sports
KJKLF:	that sounds like fun Tesia,  I' love it.
Tesia:	KJKLF-- go to keyword: GS WINTER, and go to the Winter Sports Message
Boards. :-)
GoodyGa:	Cas- does it have lots of figure skating on it?
CASKM:	Classic Sports keeps moving the times for the old Landovers.  That is
all they have that I
CASKM:	have found

watched for YEARS
CASKM:	Yesterday was 1987 Landover ladies and dance
Tesia:	Well, welcome, KJKLF!  We're glad to have you around...:-)
GoodyGa:	Thanks, Cas... I saw one landover on it and my TV Guide does not
list it.. I saw 89 landover
KJKLF:	Oh, i missed that, wow.
CKepp:	I think they should start a Skating channel (there is one for golf)
and cover everything.
KJKLF:	AMEN
GoodyGa:	id buy stock in it! lol

this but I intend to

KJKLF:	if I can remember all of these sites
CKepp:	to get Tonya her own skating soap opera to skate and act in)
KJKLF:	LOL
MargeR1:	Yes, all I have seen on Classic Sports are 80's Landovers...and they
often change the times
KJKLF:	1987--who won?
MargeR1:	I have checked in the early am and by late pm the schedule has
changed.
KJKLF:	probly G&G?
CASKM:	It was 6 pm the week before last and 5 pm yesterday
GoodyGa:	just think... all this popularity of skating is cause of Tonya.. It
makes ya think..
KJKLF:	or were they pros?
KJKLF:	I guess we have something to thank
KJKLF:	Tonya for
MargeR1:	Dorothy Hamill won and Fox and Dalley for Dance in 87
KJKLF:	wow, that was a long time ago
CKepp:	I still think she was a better skater than Nancy. (I think Nancy is
overrated)
Skatephile:	G&G's 1st Landover was in 1990
KJKLF:	dorothy better than Nancy? or Tanya?
Tesia:	Well, folks, it's about that time... I'm headed for bed.
Tesia:	Remember-- next week's topic is Worlds Wrap-Up, so
Tesia:	come prepared with your kudos and controversies! :-)
Tesia:	G'nite, all.....:-)
MargeR1:	there were only two dancers shown   them and Blumberg and Siebert.
KJKLF:	what time?
CASKM:	I have 1986 and 1988 on tape.  It figures the 1st one I saw was one I
already had
GoodyGa:	89 was neat also.. Thomas had just started Stanford...... she was
tired and worn out
CKepp:	Tonya better than Nancy.  Dorothy's from a different time-can't
compare.
MargeR1:	Ladies they showed Dorothy, Tiffiny Chin and Elaine Zayak for 87
KJKLF:	right CK
GoodyGa:	Sumners was a totally different person
