I'm not sure what you are asking, I have medals of every color. I'm a bronze level skater though.

I haven't competed for many, many years, mainly because i stopped skating for about 2 years a few years back, but when I was skating I did compete twice. In one competition I placed first (gold) and I didn't place in the top 3 at the other competition. But hopefully i will be back competiting soon

Since I no longer compete, I'll relate this to my USFSA tests.

USFSA tests:
I have passed my Gold Senior MIF test back in 2005.

Currently working on trying to get through my Pre-Golds/Gold dances so that I can get my Gold in dance, too!

I've come to accept the fact that few skaters ever get their Golds in freestyle, and that I (unfortunately) will not be one of these few. If I can get through my Novice FS, I'll be thrilled.

We, too, have medals of every colour (although a pewter medal is not awarded in this country), but mostly by default, alas.

It's a dirty-looking silver. Pewter is an alloy of tin and copper, and sometimes lead.

I have two Silver for the Adult British free Elementary, twice a bridesmaid, never a bride in this one , due to health issues the chances of my ever getting gold are now out of the question but hey I have had a lot of fun along the way and have had a few firsts in opens.

I don't really understand the question, it's not qualified enough...in our last competition, at the last regional/sectional/national/adult/standard/Jr which would it be. LIke most I have medal in all colors because I compete routinely, whether it is skill or luck is just a toss up.

9 from Adult Nationals - all colors. Events: adult pairs, masters pairs, bronze and silver freestyle, interpretive.
2 international, gold in gold pairs and silver in interpretive.
Lots of fun from all - and the ones I didn't get!

I think this question doesn't really work for the skill levels represented here.

If someone wins a olympic silver- regardless of what medals come after they will always be a "silver" medalist- unless another olympic medal comes by. If they get a bronze at the next worlds, they will still be refered to in the media as a silver medalist- their newest placement might be named.

Even if Kimmie Meissner does not retain her world title in the future- she will always be a "world gold medalist".

But at the regional/sectional (and in the case of most people on this board, local) level, you're only as good as your last medal. Not to discount all the previous competitions, because you still earned the win- that's not what I'm meaning. But, you don't really retain titles. (Though I do know we have adult national medalists here. )

At least that's how I see it.


And on that note, I'm a no-medalist
