Adam skated a perfect program and he looks great in his brown hair. Max looks strong. He was first to skate in his group and did his program without the jumps. His line has improved.
Quad Lutz?
Any Mirai updates? I'm so sad for her! WOOHOO! I just found this from Jackson skates: https://twitter.com/JacksonUltima
So the boot was fixable. Tom Z really made everyone worry last night. There's never a lack of drama with Mirai, even if she doesn't intentionally do anything to cause it.
Thanks Coyote for taking time to report. The last three competitions must have been awesome to watch live. I hope men's free skate will be as enjoyable to you and that you will write something about it.
Good luck with the Mirai pic What is FOFS???
I don't mean to speak for Chris, but I believe he is referring to the Friends of Figure Skating, which is one of the "rewards" if you will, for donating your hard earned dollars to help skaters through the USFS. I am not a member, but that's my understanding.
Correct. Correct. For my $100 or so donation I get a tax deduction, the knowlege that my money goes to help young skaters, a calander, the magazine, three breakfasts with the skaters
maybe four....and first dibs on seats at events. Today at the breakfast, I got to talk with Gracie for three or four minutes, got my pic taken with my adopted grand daughters, Hanna and
and Mariah, got a pic with Polina who was nice enough to let me get just the right one....and finally got my pic with Mirai, DESPITE THE PHOTOBOMBING BY ICE DANCERS WHO WILL
REMAIN NAMELESS UNTILL YOU SEE THE PIC...And at our table we had ice dancers that train at the USAF Acadamy in Colorado Springs who were delightful to listen to. (Manta
and Johnson). All the skaters who showed up, there were many, and you will see pics of them, sang happy Birthday to an institution at nats, "Bella Della"
I call that a bargin....
(All spelling is self inflicted...must go pack)
Haha, I'd really like to see that photo! It sounds like you had such fun!
