Wow, very inspiring to see that Rudy is returning after 2 major surgeries. Best of luck!

I am NEVER going to complain about the simple pains that I occasionally encounter.

No, scratch that, and don't tell LoopLoop about it! :)

Too late! ;)

Thanks for the link, NoVa Sk8r!

Did anyone see him skate on Today? How did he do?

I caught just the ending of it. He looked good. Lots of spins. He had a very unusual outfit on. Kind of like a unitard with one arm and shoulder bare. He looked like he was having a great time, though.

According to Rudy's website:

Rudy will be appearing from the Rink at Rockefeller Center on the Today show (NBC) on Friday, February 20, at 8:45 AM. Weather willing, he will skate a 2 minute+ program to John Denver's "Sunshine On My Shoulders" for his first public skate since his double hip replacement surgeries in August and September. He's in great shape and is comfortable with double axels, and triple toes, salchows, and loops, with the flip coming up next. His flexibility is as fine as ever.

When he and Laura are in New York City for Today, he'll be interviewed for a piece ABC is doing on skating injuries that will be shown during the World Figure Skating Championships.

"But the doctor said he had no doubts I would get back skating and that I would be doing super-duper quads,"

"Super-duper quads"? :lol:

That's a new one

What a great article! I'm glad to hear that things are going so well for him. I look forward to seeing him skate again.
