MyKurt: S'okay, I'm slow, but I get there eventually........<G>
Tesia: Hi, Lisa! :-)
ChixLittle: Hey Jaime...are you our moderator for this evening??
Tesia: For now, anyway... our Fearless Leader hasn't contacted me yet. <g>
MyKurt: I'd like to see Weiss win, but I think ole Todd's gonna get the title
this year....
SS8TOR: me too
ChixLittle: Subject is....Nationals Speculations???
GoodyGa: I think that Weiss still needs to mature a bit!
Tesia: Yep, "Nationals Preview"... have at it, everyone! :-)
ChixLittle: <---hoping to see Scott Davis become "spin king" again. Sigh.
Not too hopeful, though.
DellaG: One never knows what will happen. A mistake or two in the short, and
all bets are off.
SS8TOR: Someone I work with saw him 2 weeks ago in Conn. Said he looked great
- didn't see many jump
MyKurt: What's up with Scott? Does he still have the vertigo?
ChixLittle: Do you see Todd yesterday in the Japan Open....he bombed!!!
Tesia: Yeah...weren't we predicting a shoo-in for Todd this time last year?
:-)
DellaG: You never get rid of vertigo. You just try to keep it under control.
SS8TOR: wow I've never seen Todd look so bad
MyKurt: :-( Bummer.
MyKurt: I still think Todd's going to be great at Nationals, tho....
SS8TOR: i thought he just pushed a button and did it!
ChixLittle: Well, the Japan Open was over a month ago...hopefully, Todd's got
it back together again.
DellaG: Was that when Todd was injured?
Tesia: I'm looking forward to an excellent competition in men's.....
Tesia: how many guys are capable of medalling?
ChixLittle: Well, it was about a month after the NGK...which was the
competition he pulled out of.
SS8TOR: any of them!!
MyKurt: Medaling in Nationals or Worlds?
Tesia: Nationals....
MyKurt: Hopefully three........................<g>
ChixLittle: Hollender, Davis, Weiss, Eldrege...and not too many others.
Tesia: We've got Todd, Mike, Scott, Dan.... if they put together
Tesia: good performances, Aren, Shep Clark, Michael Chack...
DellaG: Mike, as you said, if he can keep it together. Who did they write
about in today's USA
SS8TOR: I was surprised to see Aren Nielsen still competing
DellaG: Today, can't remember.
DellaG: Was that Shep Clark?
ChixLittle: if the top four skate well, the others haven't a chance...if they
don't...well, I'm...
ChixLittle: keeping my money in my pocket.
Tesia: I was, too...but I'm *dying* to see his new long program!
'Riverdance'...:-)
ChixLittle: Shep is skating to Riverdance?????
Tesia: No, Aren is...
SS8TOR: can his feet move as fast as those dancers!!
ChixLittle: Hmm...I may just have to root for him for choice of music alone!
<g>
SS8TOR: ]me too!
OnlineHost: MyBrian has entered the room.
Tesia: Probably not, but those dancers are *unbelievable*....<g>
Tesia: Evening, MyBrian! The topic is "Nationals Preview"....
SS8TOR: how old is Aren?
ChixLittle: Unbelievable is right! I tried doing that...I was huffing and
puffing in about 3 minutes!
Tesia: Aren's in his late twenties, I think...
GoodyGa: I cant wait to see Bobek.... Does anyone know how her practices have
been gong?
Tesia: I haven't heard anything about her, Jen.... I wonder.
OnlineHost: Vin3809 has entered the room.
DellaG: She seems to be keeping a low profile for this year's Nationals.
(Bobek)
MyBrian: I heard that Brian Boitano was doing the commentary, is that right?
ChixLittle: Ah Nicole...she looked great at the Japan Open..too bad she
didn't skate great.
SS8TOR: Did anyone else think she looked much thinner in the Japan telecast?
Tesia: He did last year....
DellaG: Brian does the men's.
MyKurt: <G>
ChixLittle: Yes...and she finally ditched whatever tanning salon she was
going to! Thank god!
MyKurt: I loved Brian's commentating last year!
Tesia: I didn't watch the Japanese Open.... tried to tape it, but the
Tesia: VCR didn't cooperate. :-P
SS8TOR: LOL
MyBrian: Great, I just saw him last night
MyKurt: Bummer Tesia, it was pretty good too...........<G>
ChixLittle: Brian was not very enlightening last year...I hope he talks more
this year.
DellaG: I believe the second part of the Honda Prelude is on tomorrow night.
MyBrian: When is it on tv?
Tesia: Sorry, but when skating and "The X-Files" collide, unless
Tesia: Kurt's in it, Mulder and Scully win out every time. <g>
OnlineHost: Vin3809 has left the room.
MyKurt: LOL
MyKurt: Naw, really Tess?
Tesia: ::blinking innocently:: Of course...
ChixLittle: Jaime...your x-files are on Tuesday...not Sunday?
MyKurt: ;-)
SS8TOR: Jaime - have you heard that Landover is in the new arena and may be 2
nights next year?
SS8TOR: sorry - didn't mean to get off the subject
Tesia: No, the first part was on last night... against the X-Files...
DellaG: On tomorrow @ 8:00 pm ET
GoodyGa: Where is landover anyway?
Tesia: I heard... oh, darn, I'll have to stay there longer. <G>
GoodyGa: next year
MyKurt: Didn't Landover get broadcasted over two nights this year anyways?
DellaG: Landover is in Maryland, right outside Washington, D.C.
MyBrian: When is the men's on?
Carat4: If I have something to say that's not about nationals, can I still
say it? kinda new here...
ChixLittle: It's on at 5:05 pacific time on TBS.
SS8TOR: Yea!
Tesia: Go ahead... I'll play moderator in a minute...
Tesia: :-)
MyBrian: Tomorrow?
MyKurt: Go for it, Carat!
GoodyGa: Della- I meant next year.. sorry if I was not clear.. I live in MD
Carat4: YAY, I met Kurt yesterday!
MyKurt: WTG Carat!!!!!!!!!!!!
DellaG: It may be in the new D.C. arena, but no word yet.
ChixLittle: MyBrian...no...the long programs from Japan Open.
Tesia: Cool, Carat! :-)
MyKurt: Isn't he the SWEETEST?
Carat4: I was shaking SO BAD
Carat4: Yes he was very very nice!
Tesia: But, now, sorry, but we should stay on topic... we can do
Tesia: general chat in the second hour, 'kay? :-)
MyKurt: But he makes you feel so at ease right away, huh? :-)
MyBrian: Ok, so when is Brian doing the commentary?
MyKurt: Oops, sorry Tess, didn't see that before I typed.....<G>
Carat4: I got his autograph and a picture--it was the best! Okay, sorry,
that's the last I'll say of
Carat4: it
Tesia: Either Friday night on ESPN, or on Sunday on ABC, MyBrian.
DellaG: Brian will probably do commentary on Sunday, with the men's long
program. Also, maybe
DellaG: on ESPN.
OnlineHost: Vin3809 has entered the room.
Tesia: :-) Don't worry about it, Carat....
Carat4: Okay thanks : )
GoodyGa: I like his commentary. He kind of reminds me of mr dick, without
the attitude
MyBrian: Thank you. I got pictures of Brian at toc yesterday
MyKurt: Okay.
DellaG: Was that the last stop, MyBrian?
MyKurt: So who's going to win ladies? Duh...
OnlineHost: Vin3809 has left the room.
DellaG: Need you ask, Michelle.
GoodyGa: Karen Kwan
GoodyGa: I wish...
MyBrian: Yes, they seemed in a hurry He's probably going to Nationals
Tesia: Ladies doesn't seem to be much of a competition, unless Michelle bombs
out...
SS8TOR: a real nail biter with the women!!!
MyKurt: <------------------attempting co-mediator ;-)
Tesia: Thanks, Jenny...:-)
MyKurt: <g> Anytime.
OnlineHost: JediBaker has entered the room.
MyBrian: Where is the tv schedule on line?
Tesia: Really, the only real competition seems to be the men...
Tesia: pairs could be up in the air if Jenni & Todd don't land the
Tesia: triples.
DellaG: With the way things are, I don't see anyone beating Michelle. She
would really have to
DellaG: mess up big time.
MyKurt: Any predictions on how many times Bobek will sweep the ice with her
behind? <G>
Tesia: It's on the USFSA site, MyBrian...
MyBrian: What about Brian reminds you of Dick?
ChixLittle: Hey....I'm rooting for Nicole...I don't think she's *better* than
Michelle...
Tesia: I'm not Nicole's biggest fan,but I hope she does well in
Tesia: Nashville, just to keep things interesting...
SS8TOR: do Ina and Dunjgen(?) have side by side triples?
DellaG: My prediction on Bobek, is that she will surprise people, and really
do well.
ChixLittle: but I'd like to see Nicole skate well.
OnlineHost: JediBaker has left the room.
MyBrian: That's right I forgot I'll check later, thanks
Tesia: Yes, Sandi, they do... if Jenni & Todd wipe out on theirs, the door
will be open...
GoodyGa: MyBrian- They know what they are talking about, they are calm
MyKurt: Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd like to see Nicole do well too, but
frankly, I doubt it's going
MyKurt: to happeh
SS8TOR: which jump - toe loops?
MyKurt: happen
LZ4qlting: Poor Nicole - but she can still smile though!
Tesia: I think so.....
MyBrian: God, I thought for a minute it was their looks<g>
GoodyGa: MyBrian- They just do.. its a hard thing to explain
MyKurt: She was pretty long in the face last night......
SS8TOR: I think Nicole is great and would like to see her do well
GoodyGa: MyBrian- NO WAY.......
OnlineHost: CASKM has entered the room.
MyBrian: Your right no way. He looked so good last night
GoodyGa: Ill be back..... cya all soon!
DellaG: MyKurt, who was long in the face, I'm losing the thread?
OnlineHost: GoodyGa has left the room.
ChixLittle: Jaime...any way we can extend the topic to how the Nationals
winners will do at Worlds?
CASKM: Hi everyone! Only took a half hour to get past the busy signal
tonight
MyKurt: Nicole, sorry. <G>
Tesia: I don't see any problem with that, Lisa...:-)
MyKurt: LOL And on the TV, a commercial for AOL..
ChixLittle: Ok...assuming Todd wins nationals.........his chances at Worlds?
anyone???
Tesia: What kind of commercial, Jenny? The PTBs want to
Tesia: know...they've tried to pull them all.
CASKM: What have I missed so far? Is is basically just predictions?
MyKurt: What, Tesia??
Tesia: I think Todd is still the favorite for worlds....
Tesia: An AOL commercial...did you just say that one was on?
MyKurt: Besides Elvis, of course.
CASKM: Todd's chances of a second world championship are very good
MyKurt: Just now, yeah.
DellaG: Todd was working on the Quad, wonder if he has it?
Tesia: Nah... Elvis has worn out his welcome with the judges,
Tesia: unless he reinterprets his programs.
MyKurt: Something about "Here at America Online, we are working hard to meet
your needs"
MyKurt: Right.
ChixLittle: I think it will be close between Ilya, Todd, alexei and Elvis.
Candeloro isn't in the medal
ChixLittle: hunt
MyKurt: OOH, I forgot about Ilya!
Tesia: The PTBs at AOL want to know where the commercials
Tesia: are still airing-- they're not supposed to be.
MyBrian: Anyone see Katerina last night?
ChixLittle: Zaggy will choke.
MyKurt: They've been airing NON-STOP here in MN.
SS8TOR: but Candeloro did look like a beegee!(?)
CASKM: Todd is quoted as saying it isn't quite 100%, but very close. He will
do if going well in
ChixLittle: The BeeGee program was GREAT! I LOVED it!
CASKM: practice
MyBrian: Phillipe looked god
OnlineHost: JL9533 has entered the room.
SS8TOR: here too Jaime - the ones about working hard to fix the problems
OnlineHost: JL9533 has left the room.
MyKurt: Phillipe isn't doing that "Candelero" spin anymore, is he? Ugh!
DellaG: That will be interesting, if he does it. Puts him, in my opinion
above Elvis, Technically.
Tesia: Oh, yeah...those are the only commercials that are supposed to be
airing, actually...
MyBrian: He was supposed to look like Travolta
ChixLittle: That spin isn't legal in eligible competitions.
MyKurt: Oh! Good!
MyBrian: The spin was outlawed in competition I hear
ChixLittle: He did it at the exhibitions for Euros.
OnlineHost: Carat4 has left the room.
OnlineHost: SPedder844 has entered the room.
DellaG: He did his illegal spin, and illegal back flip. You can do pretty
much anything you want
DellaG: during a exhibition.
Tesia: Do you see any of the other medalists from Nationals-- not
Tesia: the gold medalists-- being in the medal hunt in Lausanne?
Tesia: Hi, Susan! :-)
SPedder844: hi Jaime!
SS8TOR: we guys I've got to run - watching Westminster - have a great week!
CASKM: That was a good number for Philipe. It was kind of strange for a guy
to wear a halter top
ChixLittle: You mean at the Japan Open, jaime?
DellaG: Well, we don't know who the medalists are.
OnlineHost: SS8TOR has left the room.
Tesia: No, at Nationals/Worlds...trying to keep things on topic here...:-)
MyBrian: It was a vest wasn't it?
Tesia: Speculate...does anyone besides Todd, Michelle, and
Tesia: Meno & Sand have medal hopes, in your opinion?
DellaG: In ladies, the U.S. could get someone else up on the podium - meaning
2.
CASKM: It was a one-piece jumpsuit, but the back was open like a halter top
DellaG: Don't see anyone in men's outside of Todd, No one in dance, and Meno
& Sand as the
DellaG: only possible medalists in Pairs.
Tesia: I remember a few weeks ago, Kimber went out on a limb
Tesia: and said that, if the international ladies falter,
ChixLittle: well...for the ladies, it will be either Michelle, Tonia and Tara
or Michelle, Nicole and...
ChixLittle: and Tonia.
MyBrian: are you talking about Phillipe's clothes?
ChixLittle: Or maybe Michelle, Nichole and Tara.
Tesia: the US has a shot at sweeping the ladies medals, a la '91...
CASKM: Yes
ChixLittle: But Michelle's gonna get the gold.
OnlineHost: MyBrian has left the room.
DellaG: Not sure we can sweep in ladies. You would have to expect some
pretty dismal showings
ChixLittle: Hmmm...don't count out Maria or Irina.
MyKurt: Good.
DellaG: from the other ladies.
CASKM: I don't think anyone but Michelle has a real chance of medaling at
ChixLittle: Maria can be sloppy...but when she's on, she's great.
CASKM: Worlds
DellaG: And, we don't know what is going on with Chen Lu.
OnlineHost: MyKurt has left the room.
Tesia: This is true... but, really, this year, who besides Irina and
Tesia: Michelle has been truly consistent?
ChixLittle: Word on the newsgroup is that LuLu will be stuck in China.
Tesia: Lulu is always a factor...but we have no clue whether she'll be
there...
DellaG: LuLu will only be stuck in China if she is still injured.
DellaG: Of course, this is IMHO.
OnlineHost: Hopeless60 has entered the room.
ChixLittle: Surya doesn't have a chance... IMO she should have gone pro
years ago.
OnlineHost: Hopeless60 has left the room.
DellaG: I agree, Surya does not have a chance, but I feel it is because she
is not recovered from
DellaG: her injury.
CASKM: Which men besides Todd do you think will medal at Nationals?
Tesia: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the podium will
Tesia: be Todd, Mike Weiss, and Dan Hollander, in some
Tesia: order...:-)
ChixLittle: Nope...only one American on the stand. The rest are Russians.
CASKM: I think it will be Scott Davis and Dan Hollander
DellaG: Men is really pretty open. Whoever skates with the fewest mistakes
can get a medal.
OnlineHost: SPedder844 has left the room.
Tesia: I don't know...I haven't heard much good coming out of Simsbury about
Scott lately...
ChixLittle: Todd and Alexei...and either Ilya or Elvis. In that order.
CASKM: Scott seemed to be getting better at his later competitions
DellaG: Read something about Scott saying that he has changed his program,
with less posing.
Tesia: That's good...the Galina look just didn't work for him, not in
Tesia: that large of a dose...
DellaG: I have a question: Why do the Russian skaters all seem to run out of
gas?
CASKM: Todd said that he skated with Dan at a recent exhibition and he was
skating well
Tesia: I don't know, Della...perhaps they don't train their programs full
through enough?
DellaG: I mean singles skaters, not pair or dance.
CASKM: I was kind of worried because Dan didn't start too well this season
ChixLittle: Ilia does, for sure, Della.
OnlineHost: MyBrian has entered the room.
ChixLittle: Zaggy, too, for that matter.
DellaG: I heard reports at last year's Worlds, that they seem to practice
only parts of their
ChixLittle: Alexei pulls through to the end.
DellaG: program, never the full thing all the way through.
ChixLittle: Yeah...I heard something about that, too.
DellaG: Disagree on Alexei, he seems many times to run out of gas too.
ChixLittle: But Illia looked improved yesterday.
CASKM: It supposedly makes them look better in practice
ChixLittle: Hopefully, he's getting in better shape.
MyBrian: Anyone know why the 3 masters is listed on tbs tomorrow?
ChixLittle: anyone know the altitude of Lausanne?
DellaG: Makes them look good in practice, but unable to get through the whole
program.
Tesia: They switched it at the last minute for the Japan Open, MyBrian...
CASKM: Very true
DellaG: TBS should be the Honda Prelude - long program.
Tesia: Very high, Lisa. <g> I've been to Switzerland-- even
Tesia: walking's a chore in some places. <g>
MyBrian: Do you know when it's on?
ChixLittle: Della...I think the Honda is different from the Japan Open...the
Honda was shown...
ChixLittle: lasat month.
CASKM: 8:00 pm EST
CASKM: Sorry that is 8:05 pm
DellaG: Is the Japan Open the pro-am?
ChixLittle: 5:05 pacific
ChixLittle: yes
DellaG: The other name is the Honda Prelude. They keep changing names on us,
just to confuse
DellaG: us.
MyBrian: Masters was on last month?
ChixLittle: Well, they sure did a good job of that! LOL
Tesia: "Three Masters" hasn't been on yet...
MyBrian: Thank you, I can't miss that
ChixLittle: Then it was the NGK (NKG?) that was shown last month.
Tesia: NHK...:-)
ChixLittle: hehehehehe
DellaG: Yes, that was shown last month on FOX. Or sort of shown. Only saw
one or two
DellaG: programs, then did interviews with Michelle.
CASKM: NHK was a re-air, wasn't it?
ChixLittle: *That* got boring awful quick!
Tesia: Anyone heard anything about who'll pick up the Champions Series next
season?
MyBrian: Whats the NHK?
Tesia: It was part of the Champions Series, MyBrian...
DellaG: I have not heard anything on the Championship Series. It is really
important for someone
CASKM: It is part of the Champions Series. The one in Japan
DellaG: to pick it up.
ChixLittle: Ohmygoodness, Tesia....how 'bout the new "Figure Skating Cable
Channel" ????
Tesia: I'd heard that TBS has an interest in it...
ChixLittle: <---wishful thinking
CASKM: I think someone will with 1998 being an Olympic year
Tesia: Sounds good to me, Lisa...:-) We can run it...
MyBrian: OK, I'll get it straight
DellaG: That would be good, I guess. They need to TV rights to have the
prize money.
Tesia: And I'd think that CBS might want to get *some* eligible competitions
on the air...
ChixLittle: Does it have to be only one next to get the WHOLE series? can't
they divie it up?
ChixLittle: ...er one NETWORK to get the...
Tesia: I'd doubt it, Lisa.... it's probably a package deal.
ChixLittle: rats
CASKM: They already do because ABC has Skate America
DellaG: Skate America is on ABC, and that is part of the series. I guess
they could.
DellaG: Beat me!
OnlineHost: TFPeker has entered the room.
OnlineHost: MyBrian has left the room.
Tesia: But, the network rivalry would kick in... would they
Tesia: acknowledge a competition aired on another station?
ChixLittle: What..and leave NBC (with their lousy camermen) to cover ALL the
pros???? Oh my.
DellaG: It generally is a package deal, makes it easier.
TFPeker: what are you guys talking about?
ChixLittle: Chuckle TFPeker....mainly Nationals and Worlds...sort of.
DellaG: Let's get back on track. Who, besides Meno & Sand in pairs.
Tesia: Currently, the Champions Series...we're floating topics..<g>
CASKM: Which network might pick up the Champions Series
Tesia: Well, Ina & Dunjgen have a medal, unless they bomb. I'll
Tesia: give the third spot to Stiegler & Zimmerman...
TFPeker: I wish CBS did
CASKM: Ina & Dungjen and Lyons & Wells
ChixLittle: Sigh. Yep...CBS has best camera coverage and best commentary.
Big Sigh.
Tesia: I love Lyons & Wells, but Stephanie and John have some
Tesia: serious presentation skills....
DellaG: Problem with CBS doing the Series, is they would need someone besides
Scotty to do
ChixLittle: Why, Della?
DellaG: commentary. He would be preparing for SOI
Tesia: Well, Tracy and Verne take over most of the duties these days, anyway,
don't they?
ChixLittle: Hmmm...well, maybe they could coordinate cities????
ChixLittle: SOI in Tokyo? Why not???
TFPeker: Yes, but Scott adds something to the commentary
DellaG: Problem is the Series is all over the World. I don't think he could
travel as much.
OnlineHost: GoodyGa has entered the room.
Tesia: ::quickly checking to see that Ann's not around:: Yes, but
Tesia: Scotty gets a little...overenthusiastic....<g>
ChixLittle: Okay Okay. But, still, CBS would be my pick for the Series.
CASKM: I want a network to air it soon after not months later like the
Continents Cup
DellaG: SOI is going to Tokyo, but it is in the late spring, I think.
TFPeker: at least they didn't pretend that it was live like NBC
ChixLittle: I think that in years to come, given skating's new popularity,
that will happen in the...
CASKM: What will CBS do for the Olympics? SOI is still going in February
ChixLittle: next few years.
DellaG: Until the networks consider skating a "Sport" you will very rarely
see coverage the way
ChixLittle: Ooooo...good question. What did they do in '94?
DellaG: we the fans want it.
TFPeker: what did they did in Alberbille and Lillehammer?
ChixLittle: Scotty covered the Olys.
Tesia: During the last Olympics, there was a break in SOI for the
Tesia: Olympics..but they didn't go to as many cities then...
Tesia: So who knows?
CASKM: SOI was just here Saturday night. Good show.
Tesia: Very good show. <g>
ChixLittle: Hmmm....I think we need a NEW COMMENTATOR as good as Scott!!!
DellaG: Press coverage of Nationals is dismal, at best. Why can't we cover
it like they do in
GoodyGa: BRIAN
DellaG: Canada.
TFPeker: Kurt
CASKM: We have great coverage here in DSC land
GoodyGa: kurt is good too!
Tesia: ::shrug:: We're not as enlightened down here, Della....<g>
ChixLittle: Kurt is pretty good...but don't flame me...he dithers a bit.
CASKM: Our local paper had 4 pages on Sunday
DellaG: Kurt will never live down the sexy comment on Michelle, when she was
14.
Tesia: Kurt's better at the bizarre color commentary that they
Tesia: have him doing at the Fox R&R Champs...:-)
CASKM: Articles every day leading up to and during Nationals
ChixLittle: Right...and "Too Hot"
GoodyGa: What did he say? I dont remember (abhout MIchelle?
ChixLittle: But...maybe now that's he married, he'll settle down a bit.
TFPeker: What did he found in Michelle when she was just 14?
ChixLittle: I hate those camera bits he does...kind of embarassing.
DellaG: She was skating, don't remember the comp. and Kurt felt she was sexy.
This was before
DellaG: she was National Champ. Many people thought it was out of line.
CASKM: Are you sure he was being serious?
Tesia: He seems to be one of those people that opens his mouth
Tesia: before he thinks about what it sounds like. Not good for
Tesia: live TV...
ChixLittle: Chuckle...KURT? SERIOUS???
GoodyGa: well, i guess that skaters have raging hormones also!
DellaG: Actually, yes he was. He was trying to describe her, and that was
the term he used.
GoodyGa: which program Della?
TFPeker: Maybe Kurt thought about Sonia at that time. Daydreaming?
DellaG: Can't remember, sorry.
OnlineHost: ROXIE99H has entered the room.
ChixLittle: Personally, I think Brian has potential...he just needs to speak
up more.
DellaG: One day, I'll keep a notebook of these things.
OnlineHost: ROXIE99H has left the room.
ChixLittle: also...while Katia's commentary was a little tentative, I though
that technically, it was...
ChixLittle: darn good.
CASKM: I think Brian does a pretty good job. He doesn't talk through the
whole program
ChixLittle: I'm getting very tired of Peter Carruthers.
TFPeker: I thought she pointed out some good things, but she said "perfect"
too much where it didn't
TFPeker: have to be said
ChixLittle: But she also pointed out the lift mounts and dismounts and other
things I wasn't used...
ChixLittle: to hearing about or watching in pairs skating.
TFPeker: Yeah, I liked those
ChixLittle: For her first time, Katia was very very good.
TFPeker: I was laughing when she said that U&M have trouble getting into
Detroit
GoodyGa: LOL
DellaG: Years ago, they use to show fans how to recognize the jumps. I wish
they would do that
DellaG: again.
GoodyGa: she wil get it
CASKM: I watch CBC sometimes and Paul Martini does a pretty job job
CASKM: pretty good job
ChixLittle: You mean Urbansky & Marvel, right??
TFPeker: and then she said that Rocky probably didn't want to hold her to her
neck, and Verne said th
DellaG: Did Paul do anything this year, since he coached the team that won
Pairs.
TFPeker: at a some time ago it might have been intentional
GoodyGa: Paul Wylie?
ChixLittle: Rocky was having a helluva time that night!
TFPeker: I was cracking up about that
DellaG: Paul Martini
ChixLittle: Calla gave him a pretty wild look!
TFPeker: Oh, yeah
GoodyGa: oh..... sorry.. I am really out of it tonight
CASKM: Paul Martini did the commentary for CBC's Continents Cup and some Pro
competition
OnlineHost: CHDINC has entered the room.
TFPeker: Well, gotta go, bye everyone
GoodyGa: I know that this is off topic.. but does anyone in here bake?
DellaG: Well, I congratulate Paul on his winning Pair team.
OnlineHost: TFPeker has left the room.
ChixLittle: <----don't remember Paul's commentary. Drat!
ChixLittle: Speaking of pauls, has Paul Wylie ever commentated (is that a
real word?)?
CASKM: I wanted to catch CBC's version of more of the shows, but they were
pre-empted by movies
OnlineHost: SKHazen has entered the room.
GoodyGa: goodnight room!
Tesia: Nope, not a word... the proper term is "commented",
ChixLittle: Bye, Goody!
Tesia: although that doesn't sound right...<g>
DellaG: Paul Wylie's only commentating, to my knowledge was short track speed
skating at the
Tesia: Evening, Steven! :-)
Tesia: 'nite, Jen...
DellaG: Winter Olympics in 94.
GoodyGa: nest week we will have a lot to talk aboaut!
SKHazen: Hi, all.
GoodyGa: Bye Jamie, Chix, Della
ChixLittle: Howdy, Steven!
OnlineHost: GoodyGa has left the room.
OnlineHost: CHDINC has left the room.
DellaG: By GoodGa.
CASKM: What is the topic next week? Nationals post-mortem?
Tesia: I don't know, honestly... check with Kimber-- I lost the schedule. <g>
ChixLittle: hmm....pre-mortem, more like it.
ChixLittle: Er...sorry...wasn't paying attention.
Tesia: <-- your highly disorganized co-hostess. <g>
ChixLittle: I thought the schedule said something about Worlds Predictions.
SKHazen: Guess I'm kinda late. What did I miss? :-)
DellaG: It use ot be that the skaters had a chance to get things together for
World's after
ChixLittle: well, Steven, we discussed Nicole's tan.
DellaG: Nationals in non olympic years. Now they have to get ready (some of
them) for the
Tesia: Ah.... well, just some Nats chatter, and various other
Tesia: things. <g> Got any exciting news for us? :-)
ChixLittle: We discussed whether Phillipe was wearing a halter or a vest in
the BeeGee number.
DellaG: finals in the championship series. Must be a strain.
SKHazen: Saw her today, Chix. Tan looks good.
ChixLittle: Saw her today...where??
SKHazen: Lake Arrowhead
CASKM: Anyone hear how Nicole is skating these days? She had quite a bit of
trouble in Japan
DellaG: Steve, when is she heading to Nashville?
ChixLittle: Ah...I was just thinking that on the Japan Open telecast, she
looked a LOT better...
Tesia: How does she look, technically?
ChixLittle: when her skin tone was a more natural color.
ChixLittle: How's she jumping?
SKHazen: Don't know, Della. Possibly tomorrow??
SKHazen: Did not see her skate, Chix.
OnlineHost: Icekick has entered the room.
DellaG: Well, how is her attitude. Up, down, indifferent?
ChixLittle: Gee....Steven enters the room and the rest of us shut up (except
della)
SKHazen: Seemed very positive and cheerful. But she always does, bless her.
ChixLittle: Weren't we disucssing commentating (hmmm...another word would be
welcome!)
DellaG: Can't keep me down for long.
SKHazen: <---- no intent/desire to monopolize.
Tesia: Commentary?
ChixLittle: Right!
Tesia: We're kinda boring tonight, Steven...:-) I, for one, am
Tesia: about to fall asleep in my chair...<g>
SKHazen: Della, are you going to Nashville?
DellaG: No. I am going next year to Philly. Have hotel reservations, and
ordered tickets. That
DellaG: will be my first Nationals.
ChixLittle: And Della, if you are, will you give us spoilers on the shorts?
SKHazen: Stay awake, Jaime. Otherwise you-know-who will enter the room.
CASKM: Is anyone here going to Hamilton? I hear a bunch of us are meeting
for dinner one night
ChixLittle: Drat.
Tesia: I hope to go to Philly next year...:-)
Tesia: Ah, yes, have to be alert...<g>
SKHazen: My mistake, Della, I thought you were in S.J.
DellaG: That's ok.
DellaG: But, stay tuned next year. I will take my lap top and post anything
and everything I see.
SKHazen: Really off topic: was Kimber here earlier? How's she doing?
ChixLittle: BTW...what ever happened to Larry (Canadude5)?
DellaG: Kimber was not here.
Tesia: She hasn't been here..I haven't heard a word from her... I was
wondering...
SKHazen: Hope to be there with you Della, but if now will hang on your every
word.
ChixLittle: or whatever his screen name was.
SKHazen: "if *not*' -- oops.
ChixLittle: She was around today (Kimber)
SKHazen: Were there any events in Nash today? Haven't checked the USFSA
boards.
Tesia: The last I saw, all the results that were posted were Novice and
Figures....
ChixLittle: <---don't keep up with novices
Tesia: Me, either...
CASKM: My schedule shows no events today. Maybe practice
ChixLittle: I know it's not nice...they're our future...but,
crickey...they're kinda hard to watch.
Tesia: ::grumble:: Nashville is *so* close, relatively speaking...
Tesia: why can't I be there?? :-(
DellaG: Just checks the USFSA boards, nothing from today.
SKHazen: Chix: you ought to. Some of them can be quite good to watch. And
they appreciate /
SKHazen: support from the locals in and around their clubs.
ChixLittle: I know, Steven. I do know that I should and I know they'd
appreciate it.
ChixLittle: And sometimes I even get a kick out of it.
OnlineHost: CKepp has entered the room.
SKHazen: I've had a lot of fun watching the LA Club Nov skaters this year.
ChixLittle: But when there's something else to do (just about anything
else)...sigh...I don't.
DellaG: Steve, in watching, have you seen any that have the potential to
really make it?
ChixLittle: You're in Los angeles, Steven?
SKHazen: Hitomi Kadono is my favorite. She had a tough skate in Coast and
finished 5th. But /
SKHazen: there's a lot of talent there. Yes, Chix. Close to it anyway.
ChixLittle: Hmmmm
ChixLittle: <---Glendale (with an office in Downtown LA)
CKepp: Does Nicole Bobek have her jumps back yet?
SKHazen: <----- PV (with an office DT).
ChixLittle: Yikes! Practially neighbors!
ChixLittle: at least work-wise
Tesia: ::muttering at all those who live in places that got above freezing
today...::
ChixLittle: LOL, Jaime! But...it's raining here now. Does that cheer you
up?
OnlineHost: SPedder844 has entered the room.
Tesia: No...:-P
CASKM: It was sunny in Michigan for a change
Tesia: :-)
SKHazen: T'wasn't above freezing today in the other LA (Lake Arrowhead).
CKepp: It's snowing a little bit in Ohio
Tesia: It's gross in Missouri...::sigh::
SKHazen: Della, do you follow any Nov skaters in your area?
DellaG: No, I don't.
OnlineHost: Icekick has left the room.
OnlineHost: Icekick has entered the room.
OnlineHost: LadyJane26 has entered the room.
DellaG: Only skater in the area that I know of is Mike Weiss. Not too much
here in the D.C.
DellaG: area.
Tesia: There's only one USFSA rink in this area...it's a ways
Tesia: away from here, but I'm always tempted to go down there
Tesia: and have a look at the skaters...
SKHazen: Without prying, are you in the Eastern Sectional?
LadyJane26: Hi! How's everyone?
Tesia: Hi, LadyJane! :-)
ChixLittle: Hi, LadyJane
Tesia: Talking to me, Steven? :-)
SKHazen: Have you seen Michale skate recently?
CASKM: I am not a skater. Do the local clubs let you in to observe?
CKepp: Michael or Michelle?
SKHazen: Sorry: prior 2 ques to Della. But anyone can answer. :-)
DellaG: No, I haven't seen him skate, recently. He practices real well, then
just sort of loses it
Tesia: :-) Getting too tired-- can't keep up.<g>
DellaG: during the comp.
DellaG: I am just a fan of many, many years, Steve.
SKHazen: He needs to make the jump to "big event" competitor, but I believe
he can.
Tesia: When I was in the DC area, I went and watched the
Tesia: Kazakhstani (?) skaters.... Khalturina & Krukov, and a
Tesia: junior man?
DellaG: Most people don't realize how young, in comparison to many others, he
is.
CASKM: He is like 19, isn't he?
OnlineHost: LadyJane26 has left the room.
SKHazen: Jaime: what, it isn't even 10:30 your time.
Tesia: I know, but I worked overtime today.<g>
Tesia: Michael is 20, I believe...
OnlineHost: LZ4qlting has left the room.
DellaG: I think he is 20 (remember him being 19 last year). But he has been
on the scene for a
DellaG: few years, so people think he is older.
SPedder844: Did you guys already discuss the Japan Pro-Am?
SKHazen: I guess if we all stay here we'll keep Jaime awake. Shall I lead
the exodus?
Tesia: Kind of, Susan...but feel free to jump in. <g>
OnlineHost: CaliAsian has entered the room.
CaliAsian: hi room
CKepp: I watched the Pro-AM. They showed everyone but Jumping Joe.
CASKM: We talked about the Japan Pro-Am a little bit
DellaG: You can, but I need to say good night. It is close to 11:30 here,
and I need my sleep.
DellaG: Night all.
Tesia: Nah, I'm supposed to be here 'til 11, anyway.... please, keep me
awake! :-)
ChixLittle: Goodnight, Della!!
OnlineHost: DellaG has left the room.
OnlineHost: MyKurt has entered the room.
SPedder844: It was more of an "AM-pro", don't you think?
ChixLittle: yeah...CKepp..I was disappointed about that!
CaliAsian: can anybody tell me what the topic is?...or is it general?...
MyKurt: So, what's everyone talking about? :-)
Tesia: We're just chatting now, Cali...:-)
CaliAsian: o i c
CKepp: general. I hope Nicole has a better long program.
CASKM: Are the chat logs stored on AOL somewhere Tesia, or do we need to
request them from you?
MyKurt: No fair! :-( Carat4 left!
SKHazen: Signing off. My connection is getting wonky. Say good night,
Della.
MyKurt: Goodnight Della
MyKurt: ;-)
CASKM: Della is gone already
CaliAsian: i'm sorry to bust u'r bubble, CKepp, but i think her long gets
worse...
Tesia: They're supposed to be in the WS Library, but....
Tesia: ::blushing:: I keep forgetting to upload them. <g>
Tesia: G'nite, Steven...:-)
MyKurt: Where are the old ones, Jaime?
CKepp: She fell twice in the short, how can the long be any worse?
OnlineHost: SKHazen has left the room.
Tesia: How old are you looking for, Jenny?
SPedder844: Does anyone remember how long ago that comp. actually was held?
MyKurt: :::::::::::shrug:::::::::::: Dunno, any of em, I guess.
Tesia: Anything in the last few month is still on a disk around here
somewhere...
CASKM: Early January
CKepp: First week of January
Tesia: Look in the WS Library for any older than that...
CaliAsian: i think i saw an article saying that she fell on all her triple
attempts except for a toe...
CKepp: How many did she try?
CASKM: Last I checked the newest in the WS Library was from last summer.
Have you added more since
CASKM: then?
CaliAsian: i think maybe 5 or 6...i'm not sure...
SPedder844: I thought Brian O. looked great! The triple axel was ALMOST
there, and the footwork was wonderful!
CKepp: I'm sure Michelle won but I will watich it tomorrow anyway.
OnlineHost: Icekick has left the room.
Tesia: Not lately, no...I've been keeping logs since the forum
Tesia: changed times, but with all the traffic on AOL, finding a
CaliAsian: so will i...
Tesia: time that the system will let me upload them isn't
Tesia: working...
OnlineHost: Icekick has entered the room.
OnlineHost: Icekick has left the room.
CASKM: I missed the one on the Champions Final and was going to check that
one out
CASKM: ... and the one right after Todd was let into the Finals
CKepp: Anyone have nationals' predicitions?
Tesia: I still have that one...drop me an email with the dates you
Tesia: need and I'll see if I can find them...
CASKM: Thanks
OnlineHost: Icekick has entered the room.
OnlineHost: MyKurt has left the room.
OnlineHost: Icekick has left the room.
CaliAsian: does anybody in here know how to send a letter to a favorite
skater?...is it better to write
CASKM: My Nationals predictions have been posted for the contest
CaliAsian: to the USFSA or to write to their home rink?...
Tesia: If they have an agent, write them there-- if not, try the rink.
CKepp: Men: Todd, Scott, Dan, Ladies: Michelle, Tonia, Nicole,
Pairs-M/S,I/D, S/Z, Dance-P/s
CASKM: Sometimes their home page will have an email address for fan mail
CaliAsian: thanks...
CASKM: Men: Todd, Scott, Dan ... Ladies: Michelle, Tara, Nicole ... Pairs:
M/S, I/D, L/W ... Dance:
OnlineHost: RIVAPAT has entered the room.
OnlineHost: CHBRON has entered the room.
Tesia: So...:-) I've missed the thoughts on the Japan
Tesia: Open...didn't even get to watch it, in fact. Any opinions/
CASKM: P/S, C/G, R/B
CKepp: Which skaters do you think should turn pro now?
CaliAsian: i hoping karen kwan can win a medal this year...
CASKM: Suria
CaliAsian: surya and nicole...
CKepp: Phillipe, Surya, Olga
SPedder844: Jaime- I think they should have added more pro skaters.
Tesia: I saw your post that said Brian looked really good-- what number did
he do?
CASKM: The SOI skaters couldn't do it in January
OnlineHost: CaliAsian has left the room.
CASKM: When did the Winter TOC start?
CKepp: January
SPedder844: A new one (sort of). A revival of his 1988 short program.
OnlineHost: SKHazen has entered the room.
Tesia: Hmm...interesting. Too bad my VCR wouldn't cooperate! :-(
OnlineHost: CHBRON has left the room.
Tesia: Hi again, Steven...:-)
CASKM: So there weren't that many pros available at the time
OnlineHost: Wandarama has entered the room.
SKHazen: Back. AOL dropped me off. First time that's happened in a while.
SKHazen: <---- doing my best to keep Jaime awake.
Wandarama: Hi alls!
OnlineHost: OKsfan has entered the room.
Tesia: :-) I appreciate the help...
Wandarama: Hi Kevin
RIVAPAT: Ilya Kulik was very impressive in his short program--jumps were
great in the air and his
CKepp: They had R & K, G&S in dance, Katarina and Yuka in Ladies, Brian & Joe
in men's.
RIVAPAT: landings were tighter than usual.
OKsfan: Hi Suzie
OKsfan: Hi Becky
Wandarama: OH KEVIN!! YOU ARE MY IDOL!!!!
Wandarama: may I have your autograph?
CKepp: When is Oksana going to skate again? Can you believe how lightly she
got off?
RIVAPAT: I really liked Rahkammo and Kokko's dance! Hi, Kevin
SPedder844: What did everyone think of the Midori Ito segment?
Wandarama: Oksana got off? Ok.
Tesia: What did it say, Susan?
Wandarama: lightly. you got that right
CKepp: She got the DUI charge reduced to speeding and gets to keep her
license.
RIVAPAT: I thought the segment on Midori seemed very staged and like they
wanted her to stay in
SPedder844: Just explaining what happened to her, and that she is still in
bad shape.
SKHazen: RE Ito: I think Hisanaga's English got in the way of what he meant
to say -- Midori is OUT/
RIVAPAT: hiding to some extent--didn't really wish her will. He just said we
would never see her
RIVAPAT: skating again!
RIVAPAT: wish her well!
CKepp: I was disappointed when the Japanese official said we would never see
her skate again.
Wandarama: Second offense in TX gets you automatic jail time
SKHazen: of eligible competitios. But I expect to see her back on the Pro
circuit.
RIVAPAT: OH really...it seemed to me that he didn't think she would skate
again--burned out and not
SPedder844: I'm sure they will never take credit for what happened...
OnlineHost: Dream9924 has entered the room.
Tesia: I hope she comes back as a pro, but only if she's better, physically
and emotionally.
RIVAPAT: in good physical shape, but how would he really know about they pro
cirucuit--you are likely
RIVAPAT: right!
Wandarama: hi Dream I'm Suzie
OnlineHost: Pepper1621 has entered the room.
Wandarama: hi Pepper I'm Suzie
Pepper1621: Hello Suzie
Pepper1621: Call me Kerry
Dream9924: hi what is the topic tonight?
SKHazen: RIV: As I recally, Hisanga's emphatic "never" was to the question
of whether she would
Wandarama: hi Kerry.
Pepper1621: If you want?
SKHazen: compete again.
Pepper1621: Oops, no question mark
Wandarama: what happened to Midori? It seems I heard something a while
back.....
Pepper1621: Well it's supposed to be ice skating right?
RIVAPAT: Yes, so I took it to mean--compete, amateur or pro--but who knows
what he meant!
CKepp: She has some type of anemia.
Tesia: Yep, Kerry, we're talking ice skating...:-)
Pepper1621: Ok.
Wandarama: woah.
Pepper1621: Just checking, I'm over in Washington and had to make sure I had
the time zones right.
SPedder844: She seemed so joyful in 1988. :-(
SKHazen: I'm not sure what he meant either, RIV. But her physical trainer is
much more optimistic /
SKHazen: than Hisanaga was.
Pepper1621: Oh
RIVAPAT: MIdori has iron-deficiency enima caused by some sort of eating
disorder.
Pepper1621: Did you all see the Japan Open last night?
CKepp: Yes
CASKM: It is getting late here, so I have to sign off. I'll be back next
week if I can get through
RIVAPAT: That's good to hear that her trainer is more optomistic--the
official last night seemed to
OnlineHost: Dream9924 has left the room.
Wandarama: wow. that's not good
Pepper1621: Yeah, that where I heard about Midori
SKHazen: And, remember, that Hisanga (VP of the JSF) was a primary force
behind getting her to
SKHazen: reinstate. He lost face.
RIVAPAT: be saying nothing more than staged rhetoric!
OnlineHost: CASKM has left the room.
Wandarama: where's everyone going?
Pepper1621: Huh?
OKsfan: I`m here
Pepper1621: I'm still here
Pepper1621: I think.
Wandarama: LOL
Pepper1621: Hehehe
RIVAPAT: I didn't know that Oksana Grishuk had changed her appearance so
much---cutting her hair and
SKHazen: But Jaime has fallen asleep!
Wandarama: CASKM left, and Dream left
Tesia: Yep, we're still officially here until 11PM-- midnight EST.
Pepper1621: WAKE UP JAMIE
Wandarama: {S welcome
Tesia: No, I'm awake, I promise! :-) ::rubbing eyes:: <g>
OnlineHost: EchoChnt has entered the room.
Pepper1621: Sure.
RIVAPAT: dying it pale blond....I did like their dance except for Platov's
fall of course!
Pepper1621: Yup
SKHazen: Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's "Jaime"
Pepper1621: I'm sorry
ChixLittle: Thank you, Wandarama :)
Pepper1621: Jaime
Tesia: Yep, thank you for spelling my name right, Steven-- so few people do!
:-)
Pepper1621: Hello Chixlittle.
Wandarama: you're welcome
RIVAPAT: I thought Anissina and Piezarat were very boring!
OnlineHost: SANDSONIC has entered the room.
ChixLittle: Hi Pepper
Tesia: Except for Anissina's costume, of course...<g>
Pepper1621: yup!
CKepp: What costume?
Pepper1621: hehehe
SKHazen: Boring, yes, RIV. But I was glad I finally saw Marina's alleged
costume.
Wandarama: alleged.....
SKHazen: What was it? "Put some close on, Marina".
RIVAPAT: yes, her costume was eyecatching with those metalic tassles dangling
from her, well ya know!
CKepp: Her costume is worse and more revealing than anything Tonya ever wore.
Wandarama: like she was wearing a thick ribbon around her
SKHazen: Oops. "Put some clothes on, Marina."
Pepper1621: Hehehe
Pepper1621: Good idea
RIVAPAT: They had no character and no feeling--dull, dull dull! ANd her
bizarre outfit looked out
Pepper1621: Yes.
RIVAPAT: of place next to his,but then again it would have looked out of
place except at perhaps a
Wandarama: and I thought Oksana's Arabian costume was risque...
RIVAPAT: peep show or bachelor party!
SKHazen: Normally I like A&P. But I have to agree with RIV on the boring
characterization.
EchoChnt: Hello every one!!!!
ChixLittle: I was VERY surprised at that custume. Thought the tassels would
fall off.
EchoChnt: How's it going?
Tesia: Hi, Echo! :-)
Pepper1621: Hello EchoChnt
Wandarama: LOL Becky
RIVAPAT: I normally like them too or at least find them interesting...not
lastnight!
ChixLittle: What about B&Ps fall??????
Pepper1621: hehehe
Wandarama: Hi Echo
EchoChnt: Hey Tesia, Wandar, Pepper
RIVAPAT: B&P>
Wandarama: I'm Suzie
EchoChnt: What's up?
RIVAPAT: you mean G&P?
Wandarama: just chatting about....what is it....winter sports....yeah
CKepp: I don't think Beche and Petrov competed in the pairs event
Pepper1621: Yeah
ChixLittle: Right...sorry
OnlineHost: CASKM has entered the room.
ChixLittle: <---rubber fingers
SKHazen: Jaime: you only have 14 more minutes. OK if I go?
Wandarama: hi there!
Pepper1621: Are we having fun yet?
Tesia: Yeah, Steven...thanks. :-)
Wandarama: oh, yeah. sure
ChixLittle: No...Grishuck & Platov!
RIVAPAT: Platov just got his feet tied up with Oksana's and fell, but she
literally picked him right
ChixLittle: They fell! Or he did.
Pepper1621: Yeah
RIVAPAT: back up!
CASKM: I just checked the WS Library and there are a few from December and
January there now
SKHazen: See you all next week -- if the airline strike gets me back in time.
OnlineHost: SPedder844 has left the room.
Pepper1621: Bye
RIVAPAT: It was an impressively fast and intricate dance--closeness of their
feet and the wrapping
Tesia: G'nite, Steven.... have fun!
EchoChnt: Bye SK
CASKM: I think the ones I wanted are there, but I can't download at this
time, Jaime
Wandarama: nice chatting with you!
RIVAPAT: together of their feet--before he fell.
SANDSONIC: Is that what happened? I couldn't figure out why he fell!
OnlineHost: SKHazen has left the room.
Pepper1621: Yes
Tesia: Okay.... let me know if you can't-- I'll look for them here.
Pepper1621: It was kinda a shock
EchoChnt: Who fell at what?....I mean where? :)
SANDSONIC: Course, it doesn't matter...he can fall and they still win..just
like 94 Worlds
RIVAPAT: Yes, it was a shock, but Oksana's picking him up so quick saved the
number.
CKepp: They were the only dance team with a fall and they were still in 2nd.
Pepper1621: Yeah
RIVAPAT: This fall was worse thought I think!
CASKM: Good night again
RIVAPAT: though I think
EchoChnt: Nite CAS
OnlineHost: CASKM has left the room.
Pepper1621: Goodnight whoever is leaving.
Wandarama: LOL
ChixLittle: Peter sure made a fuss about that fall.
Pepper1621: Yup
RIVAPAT: Yvgeny Platov fell at the Japan Open last night
CKepp: Peter would have placed Roca & Sur above G&P.
EchoChnt: Are we talking Dance here???? Heeelp meeee.......:)
Pepper1621: Oh
RIVAPAT: I would have too I think, but put G&P ahead of Anissina and
Peizarat--dull city!
EchoChnt: Thanks RIVA
Pepper1621: Did you watch the Japan Open last night?
RIVAPAT: yes
OnlineHost: DocANeal has entered the room.

OnlineHost: DocANeal has left the room.
Pepper1621: Yup
RIVAPAT: Eltsova>Buskov were in 1st, ahead of meno and Sand who skated with
nice flow and speed, but
OnlineHost: SANDSONIC has left the room.
EchoChnt: but.....
RIVAPAT: Todd put his hand down on the side by side triple toes--Ina and
Dungien--3rd as usual.
Pepper1621: yeah
EchoChnt: hmmmmm
CKepp: Ina and Dungien had more technical content but got hammered on
presentation mark.
Pepper1621: I can't remember it that well. I had to pop in and out of it
RIVAPAT: Rahkammo and Kokko skated a light and expressive dance to be in
1st--G&P were in second even
EchoChnt: ok, what else?
Pepper1621: Hmmm
RIVAPAT: with his fall--was a nice number until he fell. Anissina and
Peizarat were in 3rd with the
EchoChnt: Sorry I missed it
Pepper1621: Don't forget to watch the rest on Tuesday.
Pepper1621: Isn't that when it is.

Pepper1621: Then the State Farms U.S. Championships on Thursday.
RIVAPAT: Nicole looked good, but skated poorly
EchoChnt: Thanks Pepper
ChixLittle: Ilya's red cheeks...gotta love 'em!
Pepper1621: yup!
CKepp: Phillipe actually had a decent short program but I still think he's
overrated.

CKepp: 2 falls
Pepper1621: Yup
Pepper1621: It's on all week
RIVAPAT: she didn't complete a triple I don't believe
EchoChnt: Thanks Tes
OnlineHost: Dream9924 has left the room.
EchoChnt: Riva, that's terrible
RIVAPAT: It wasn't a pretty sight--she's in last place.
EchoChnt: ouch!
Pepper1621: yeah
