The 10 Hardest Things About Figure Skating

[rack]

In honor of USA Today, and in the hope of making someone smile.

1.Remembering who is Pang and who is Tong and who is Zhang.
2.Remembering which US pairs skater is skating with which US pairs skater and for how long and why.
3. Keeping any discussion with either Michelle or Kwan in its title to two pages or under.
4. Alexander Abt and/or Angela Nikodinov having 12 consecutive months of healthy, happy, and productive skating.
5. Saying something nice about Ottavio Cinquanta.
6. Getting top US singles skaters to 4 Continents.
7. Getting CMc to say anything critical of Sarah, Adrian to say anything critical of Sasha, and anyone with Kw in their names to say anything critical of Michelle.
8. Running out of things to write about the Canadian Nationals.
9. Describing concisely and accurately Marina Anissina's hair color.
10. Teaching duane about capital letters and getting AxelAnnnie22 to admit it's not just her opinion, it's the absolute and complete truth!

Feel free to add to the list- I could use a smile also!:D

I'm smiling.

Getting any sports columnist is the U.S. to do the obligatory "Is Figure Skating a Sport" column with any kind of knowledge about skating.

Getting ESPN to show the "10 minute ticker" at any time other than in the middle of a skating performance.

Number One Hardest Thing about Skating for me is: getting the money together to afford to go to skating events :!:

Number one for me: Figure out how ice dancing is judge/how to judge ice dancing.

Thanks for the laugh-those were great. How about getting Mike Weiss to admit he wasn't the best skater at any competition he entered?

1. Having a thread about Irina, Sasha or Sarah without the name "Michelle" popping up.
2. Having a thread about Michelle without any of the other 3 names popping up.
3. Having a thread about a competition a Russian skater won, without any mention of the words "bloc judging".
4. Calling Cinquanta by his proper name instead of Speedy for short. ;)
5. Getting someone to praise a skater without putting down another.
6. Loop jumps. :roll:
