Thanks for the link, Adrian!

I like the sound of her attitude in this article. She sounds pretty relaxed about everything going on, and she sounds like she's having fun. That's the point of playing in a sport, right?

Off topic for a moment please, if I may. With the new judging system where the computer randomly picks the judges scores and even the judges don't know who gets picked, isn't that still not right. I mean, if a skater skates great and should be rewarded and someone from timbuckto decides to give the skater a really low score and then the computer picks up that score randomly.yet the judge that scored the skater really high doesn't get picked up? Well, how does this system solve the problems. You have anomonous(sp) judges okay, so no one can choose sides but the scores might really stink. So, then how will a really good skater get scored fairly. What if the really not so great skater ends up National Champ and the 10 time National Champ ends up in 10th place??
