I found out last Friday that I'm one of the "Great to Skate" winners! :D And what does that mean??? An on-ice clinic with Todd Eldredge........this Saturday. Is anyone else going to be there? I'll probably be the only old lady there, but I don't care. It should be fun!!!! :D :D

Congrads Leslie!

Tell us how it goes and could you invite Todd to our Competitive Adult Skaters yahoo group? Here's the URL http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/compadultsk8s

Hey, Leslie, that's great! Man, I wish I could come watch, that would be loads of fun.
(Wait....THIS Saturday? I'm actually going to be back in the state....PM me, ok?)

Now, you've been on the ice with Todd before, haven't you? Or was that just in passing? At any rate, what fun! How did you end up a winner? "Local"-type thing?

You need to start reading the USFSA web site more. :lol: www.usfsa.org

Go to the bottom of the home page, put your cursor on "news", click on "news home", and scroll to the bottom of that page. It shows the details on the contest.

That's terrific!!! Even though personally I don't think Todd belonged in this past Olympics for lack of a consistent quad, he's still a grand master skater in my book and has more style and poise in his left toe pick than most skaters have in their whole body. You're soooo lucky!!! :) :D :o

I'll be sure to report in when I get back. I'm hoping for at least one tiny little tip!!!! Well, and maybe a picture too.

Flippet,

Yep, he's been to the Summit before. That was when Olga was still there. I've actually had quite a few opportunities where I could have talked to him before, but never did because I didn't want to bother him. Silly me..................

OMG well done! :lol:
I really like Todd Eldredge's skating - never met him.
He's a clockwise skater, like me! I love his spins. He is SO fast. :)
I'm looking forward to reading your full report! :wink:

I'm so jealous :D
