I'm not sure yet if I'm going to take pictures, but probably. Thanks for the compliment on my photos.

LOL according to that press release Johnny Weir is at Cup of Russia. He sure has been there a long time. ;) I think they should have put something more like 5th place @ 02 Nationals for Johnny...something that is current for more than a weekend! :) Thanks for the link, sk8pics. Wish I could go but I'll probably be out of town that weekend. :/

I didn't see Adam Rippon's name in the junior national team; Adam placed 7th in juvenile men at Lake Placid. I thought he skated at U of Del.

Yes, Adam Rippon, 13, represented UDel at Junior Nationals last month (he previously represented the Haverford (PA) SC), and an article about him has made the AP newswire. Here's one link:

The article says Rippon "in April will represent the United States at an international competition in Luxembourg."

I'm guessing this must be under the USFSA's 2003 "Young International Competition" program at:

Adam first caught my eye in a club competition in March 2002, and I thought he showed a lot of natural talent. Great to see him get some publicity and an opportunity to compete internationally!
