Do you know if that's the case for Adult Nationals as well, or just Sectionals?

Actually, it was AFTER the alteration.

I wasn't all that surprised that Edward and I are the same shirt size. Back in 2004, he had lent me a sweater at the Adult Nationals in Lake Placid and it fit me just fine. However, Barak was kind of suprised. I wasn't quite sure how to take that.

From the press release regarding the introduction of the "Ice Network":

"In Ice Network's initial roll-out this October, U.S. Figure Skating announced plans to webcast all 2006-2007 U.S. qualifying events from the juvenile level through the adult level, with the exception of the 2007 State Farm U.S. Figure Skating Championships."

It would appear that the present plan is to broadcast only the qualifying events. Perhaps we got spoiled by the more exhaustive coverage from the Skating Channel. Hopefully, in the future, the non-qualifying events will be included as well. Unfortunately, alot of great skating in the non-qualifying events may be missed by those not attending the competitions, short of ordering copies of the event from the videographer directly.

So what are your goals between now and Nationals?

Hey there,

Thanks so much! A hearty congratulations to you too.

Right now, my goals are to clean up the unfortunate fits of FHS that I noticed on the video (FHS = Floppy Hand Syndrome), try to refine my stroking between my elements, clean up my elements and try to remain calm and not poop my skating pants out of sheer terror between now and April 14th.

Best of luck to you, Lauren. Hope to meet you in Chicago.

This is the waiver that you have to accept when you register online for a US Figure Skating event:

Quote:

By registering for the 2007 qualifying competition season of The United States Figure Skating Association ("USFS"), and for good and valuable consideration, I release and grant to USFS, including its subsidiary and affiliated entities, and USFS authorized local organizing committees, clubs, and interclub associations, the right to use my name, likeness, image, photograph, voice, video, athletic performance, biographical information and any other indicia of identity, in any format whatsoever, from any USFS event or activity in which I participate during the 2007 qualifying season (collectively, my "Identifications"), and to distribute, broadcast and exhibit my Identifications, without charge, restriction or liability, in any media now known or hereafter devised (including, but not limited to, television, internet, web casting, and video streaming) or in various publications (including, but not limited to, SKATING Magazine, the USFS directory or media guide and marketing materials) into perpetuity, unless otherwise specified and agreed upon. I understand that I will not receive any compensation for any such use of my Identifications. It is also agreed that at no time can USFS release or authorize the use of my Identifications to an unrelated third party for the purpose of my endorsement of any commercial property, product or service, without my written permission.

Since everyone must sign this for Adult Nationals -- qualifying and non-qualifying -- I believe the Ice Network can put every event online for Adult Nationals. I don't know if they will, though.

Ha ha! Sounds a lot like mine. If I can just clean up the little things that I shouldn't be messing up on (like sloppy single jump landings, awkward transitions, a spin that is a revolution short, etc.) then I won't have to kick myself at AN for throwing away GOE's on "stupid stuff," knowwhaddamean?
I'm looking forward to meeting you at AN, too!

Right, Frank?

Hey Jazz,

Yup, I'm a lefty but only on the ice. I'm right-handed in most other things. When I first started skating I didn't realize I was going the opposite way for a while. It just felt natural. Did you notice that Sailer and Garber are also an opposite direction team, but she's the lefty. The lefty thing does create some challenges in pairs, but it can also look cool.
