KurtSkate: Jenny...be good!!
URGOS: so what exactly is the latest?
MyKurt: Okay, okay.....I can't do it anyways. :-)
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!
Tesia: I saw an article that says Lulu is only there because she
Tesia: has to be to qualify for the Olympics....
OnlineHost: DellaG has entered the room.
SkateJoy: that'll be neat to see, if she can pull it off .......
Tesia: DellaG, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum! Tonight's
Tesia: topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're ready! :-)
IL Alum 89: I've never seen Tara even practice a 3Lutz/3Loop.
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.
SkateJoy: Anyone have any news on Jeni & Todd ??? ( Todd's back ??)

VivaLsVgs: Hi all
MyKurt: Since everyone else is saying it....
SkateJoy: Hi there :)
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
IL Alum 89: ESPN2 has pairs short 8-9p on Tues
DGeorge994: Sounds like Tara did great in qualifying rounds

RIVAPAT: yes
Tesia: Pairs competition starts tomorrow, I believe......
MyBrian: Hi Jenny
IL Alum 89: Even dance isn't set in stone this year...K&O or B&K for silver
and bronze?
DGeorge994: On Thursday night, will pairs be televised first?
RIVAPAT: Has anyone heard how Meno and Sand have been doing since the CSF?
Yes, but the gold is

IL Alum 89: Hello Christie.
MyKurt: Joy, it's time to break out the noodle again for ya....fifty
lashes..... ;)
KurtSkate: they were ALL great ;)
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!
MyBrian: is that you diagnosis?
MyBrian: your

URGOS: anyone think ina and dunjen will fair higher than jeni and todd?
KurtSkate: Hi Kelly
MyKurt: Kelly's here now! :-)
SkateJoy: Hi Kelly !!! :)
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>
CASKM: I just hope I & D wear the long program costumes from Nationals
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! :-(
MyKurt: If I can get back on, that is!
MyBrian: good luck getting on
IL Alum 89: I&D are looking better artistically this year than I have ever
seen them..still a ways to go
KurtSkate: Where's Jenny goin'?
SkateJoy: see ya, Jen :)
Tesia: Jenny? :-( Where're you going?
MyKurt: I'll be right back...have to make a phone call. :-(
MyBrian: to watch a Kurt tape

MyKurt: <G> Good idea, Barb!
OnlineHost: MyKurt has left the room.
KurtSkate: Now she'll never be back ;)
MyBrian: I don't blame her
KurtSkate: Me either ;)
CASKM: I wonder how Dan is holding up. That has to be devastating
Tesia: Okay... what about the men? Any predictions? :-)
OnlineHost: MBFISHDC has left the room.
KurtSkate: I feel so bad for dan :-(
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.
MyBrian: I hope Todd too
OnlineHost: TFPeker has entered the room.
Tesia: TFPeker, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum! Tonight's

RIVAPAT: I thik Elvis peaked at CSF...if he lands the quad combo though he
will be on the podium.
TFPeker: hi everyone
KurtSkate: Hi
MyBrian: Hi
RIVAPAT: hi
OnlineHost: Galileocan has entered the room.
URGOS: but will they give him high presentation marks?
IL Alum 89: I'm curious to see the artistic marks for Elvis at Worlds vs CSF.
MyBrian: Hi
Tesia: Galileocan, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
Tesia: Tonight's topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're
Tesia: ready! :-)
RIVAPAT: me too!
Galileocan: thanks Zest...
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...
KurtSkate: Hi Gal :)
Galileocan: Kurt.....an honour...
KurtSkate: LOL
OnlineHost: MargeR1 has entered the room.
Tesia: Hey, Gal, what's going on? Any wild Worlds predictions? :-)
MyBrian: What's Todd skating to
URGOS: even if michael goes four rotations?
Tesia: MargeR1, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum! Tonight's
Tesia: topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're ready! :-)
Galileocan: predictions?
IL Alum 89: I think this could be Urmanov's year to get on the podium again
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?
Galileocan: Urmanov will definitely get the honourable mention for the best
and most clean gloves....
MyBrian: What you talking about?
Lslatk: LOL
TFPeker: love the gloves
SkateJoy: LOL, Gal ....
Galileocan: he'd look great on a Pledge commercial
MargeR1: No, I just came in to remind people this room is here if anyone
wants to hold informal
TFPeker: LOL
MyBrian: LOL
CASKM: You asked what Todd was skating to
MplsSk8r: Gal!!!! ROTFL!
IL Alum 89: I have to say that seeing Urmanov in person has made me a fan.
VivaLsVgs: I think judges will mark michael low,unless hes perfect because
hes relatively new to the wo
Galileocan: :-))
SkateJoy: Yes, but will he get points deducted for excessive ruffles or knee
waggles.????
MyBrian: Yes
MargeR1: chats without a host during the week.
Tesia: Like I said, I think the judges will require Elvis to do a clean
Tesia: quad/triple to beat a clean Todd...
VivaLsVgs: rld scene
RIVAPAT: I agree, IL Alum
Galileocan: Elvis baby...kick some ass....Elvis baby....kick some ass
MplsSk8r: I second that, IL Alum!
Galileocan: :-)
Tesia: Gal-- watch your language. TOS, remember. :-(
MyBrian: LOL
IL Alum 89: Now, if only Urmanov's luggage could get lost on the way from
Russia :)
TFPeker: There is a movie in Russia, "Princess of the Circus". Urmanov wears
the same costume as
TFPeker: Mister X in the movie
OnlineHost: MyKurt has entered the room.
MyKurt: :D
TFPeker: Thank God, he doesn't wear the mask
KurtSkate: Jenny made it back :)
MyBrian: Hey you got back on
Galileocan: If the men's competition is as exciting as it was in
Hamilton......bring your ECG........
MyKurt: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!
Galileocan: palpitations
MplsSk8r: Jen's back! :-D Hooray!
MyKurt: Yeah Barb......I'm magic! :D
SkateJoy: Yeah !!!!!! Jenny made it back alive !!!!!
MyBrian: You must be
MyKurt: Wow! :::::::::::blushing::::::::::::::
MplsSk8r: That's too bad. :-D j/k
Tesia: Guys...what Marge said earlier... that's true-- if you sign on
Tesia: for skating chat during the week, this room is open any
Tesia: time! :-)
RIVAPAT: I think Kulik is being overlooked a bit at these worlds, but if he's
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!
:-)
MargeR1: Kulik skated very early in Hamilton; that hurt his marks when others
skated well
OnlineHost: Skatephile has entered the room.
Galileocan: Also....in pairs....look out for Kazakova and Dmitriev!
Tesia: Skatephile, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum!
Tesia: Tonight's topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're

MplsSk8r: Rosy Cheeks Kulik
TFPeker: HI Sylvia
Tesia: Hi, Sylvia...guess my directions made sense. :-)
SkateJoy: <g> Kelly
URGOS: i always thought that ilia was to be top russian, not alexei
MyBrian: Good idea, debate in the chat room are you on MyKurt?
IL Alum 89: Once again in person Kazakova impressed me more than Dmitriev
Skatephile: Thanks, Jaime! Hi everybody!
RIVAPAT: hi Sylvia
MplsSk8r: Oh geez!
CASKM: But Ilia did not skate particularly well
OKsfan: Hi Sylvia
MyKurt: Depends on the debate. :-)
Galileocan: I hear Oksana is bartending in the press room at
Lausanne......(okay..sorry)
Tesia: Sylvia just gave me the wonderful news that Channel 30
Tesia: *is* showing the men's final-- on early Saturday morning,
Tesia: but they're showing it! :-)
Anjule: <g>
SkateJoy: ooooooooo....that was low, Gal <g>
IL Alum 89: As long as she's not driving home afterward :)
Galileocan: sorrrrrrry
Tesia: Gal-- general chat is the second hour, 'kay? ;-)
SkateJoy: ::::giggle::::
TFPeker: LOL
MyBrian: Gee, I wonder what we can debate about :~D
KurtSkate: Now Jame has something to be happy about ;)
KurtSkate: Jaime
Anjule: <g>
Tesia: Yeah, I needed some good news. :-)
Galileocan: Yes boss...
Tesia: Okay... what about the ladies? Predictions? :-)
MyBrian: ok ok
Tesia: Gal-- :-P
Skate Doc: Tara
DellaG: Tara wins it all.
SkateJoy: Tara !!!!!!!!!!
RIVAPAT: Tara
Minorcin: Tara
MplsSk8r: I think MyKurt will win the ladies competition with her long
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!!!!!!
MyBrian: I hope Nicolle does good
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.
RIVAPAT: I was glad to see Nicole do so well in the qualifying...I just
really don't think Michelle
Tesia: CDNSK8, welcome to the GS Ice Skating Forum! Tonight's
Tesia: topic is "Worlds Preview"-- join in whenever you're ready! :-)
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:::::::::

SRSJAS1: Alright Gal dont go there.
VivaLsVgs: at least she got rid of that green unitard she wore for her evita
number

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

Anjule: Sounds good to me! :)
KurtSkate: Oh <g>
IL Alum 89: Ooooh..me,me,me I'm going to Minneapolis :)

KJKLF: what do you mean no, Brian?
SkateJoy: Me and Jen......partying in Minn.
IL Alum 89: Luckily I'm not excited about going.
CDNSK8: The other side of the Gardens
MyKurt: Worlds in 98 is easy for me....since I LIVE here! <BG>
Galileocan: on the Days inn side
RIVAPAT: ok, I know where it is then
Tesia: We're staying at the Days Inn.... that'd be easy for us. :-)
MyBrian: never mind it's long gone
KurtSkate: Jenny...

KurtSkate: RIVA..was that ticket for the Fri or Sat show?
KJKLF: what's in Toronto???? I missed it
CDNSK8: Should we decide on a time for PM Toronto?
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
Tesia: Chouinard, Brasseur/Eisler....
OnlineHost: CCReviewer has left the room.
KJKLF: Sounds great!
Tesia: Should be lots of fun...:-)

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

SoulzMate: Hmmmmmm.....Worlds comments. Mens is still up in the air.
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
Anjule: I'm about to leave as well. G'night, all! :)
SoulzMate: RIVAPAT, no, M Weiss didn't try the quad.
MyKurt: Kurt is a work of art. ::::::::::::sigh::::::::::::
KJKLF: has he ever?
SoulzMate: Nite Jenny, Anne. :)
MyKurt: Night Ann! :-)
Tesia: 'nite, Ann! :-)
OnlineHost: Anjule has left the room.

Tesia: ::making mental note to set VCR::
OnlineHost: CKepp has entered the room.
Skatephile: pairs short programs, I believe
KJKLF: i'd rather be at SOI than watching on tv
Lslatk: Thanks for your help
CASKM: That's right
GoodyGa: Thanks
Tesia: Sylvia, in case I didn't tell you, yes, I am taping ESPN2. :-)
OnlineHost: Lslatk has left the room.
Skatephile: Oh good -- I like to have tape backups! :-)
CKepp: My cable company doesn't even offer ESPN2
GoodyGa: CKEPP- it is only worth watching when skating is on.....
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?
CASKM: I wish TV Guide listed ESPN2 so I would know what was on
Tesia: Thursday and Saturday night on ABC, KJKLF. :-)
CKepp: ESPN and ABC are also covering it.
KJKLF: any during the day on Saturday? or Sunday?
RIVAPAT: any coverage on Wed?
CASKM: Nothing on Wed
Skatephile: and ESPN on Fri. 8-11 pm ET (incl. "2nd tier" ladies short
programs again this yr I hope!)
KJKLF: where can I get updates online????
GoodyGa: Jamie- are you planning to have that "judges forum" after worlds?
CASKM: Men's short is Thursday morning at 12:30 am EST on ESPN2
Tesia: KJKLF-- there is info on both the Winter Sports Boards and the USFSA
area. :-)
OnlineHost: RIVAPAT has left the room.
GoodyGa: I think that it would be great fun.....
CKepp: We do get Sports Channel (great for Indians baseball games which I
like, rest of programming
KJKLF: in the morning -=I'm at school, yuk
CKepp: is n't much.
Tesia: Jen, if I get enough interest for it... post in the Forum folder to
remind everyone!
Skatephile: or check out Sandra Loosemore's web page links
KJKLF: a judges forum, is this new--for anyone???
Tesia: KJKLF, we might host a game where we judge the
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
KJKLF: thanks, that helps I' just found out about all of ya'll, buat have
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
KJKLF: skating has gotten real popular
CASKM: The times are listed on their web site - www.classicsports.com
GoodyGa: thanks- i did not know that!
KJKLF: me either, thanks
CASKM: Next Sunday is 1987 mens & pairs 7:30 to 8:30 pm EST
CKepp: If I would ever win SuperLotto I might start it myself (forgive me for
this but I intend to
CASKM: Nothing the following Sunday
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
GoodyGa: Night! Jamie
KJKLF: good night Jamie
GoodyGa: .skater I mean
