A question about Tiffany and Johnnie Stiegler.

[FSWer]

Does anyone know when and why they split up,and what is happening with them now? Are they skating Singles? Or if not,who do they have for new partners if any? Thanks.

From what ive heard, she was getting too tall(5'3") for him and Johnnie didnt want to skate anymore, i think he wanted to go to college or something. she now skates with bert(?) cording and this will be their first season together(2003-2004).

Tiffany isn't too tall for Johnnie--they have at least as much height difference as plenty of other U.S. teams. That wouldn't have been a problem if there hadn't been other things that led them to split.

Tiffany is now skating with Bert Cording, who is 26 or 27 now and has placed in the top ten at nationals several times with other partners. He is a pretty big guy and has a lot of experience skating pairs, so he's a good choice for a partner (probably about the best she could get right now, anyway) even if there is a bit of an age difference.

As has already been reported, it sounds like Johnnie will be going to college.

Thanks. Can somebody post the link to the new Pair team?

Have you seen their commercial for MCI/Worldcom? It's nationwide and I have only seen it on cable. They look really good in the commercial.

[FSWer]

What is that? I don't think I've seen that commercail

You will see Tiffany's face skate across the screen. Then she and Bert (who looks remarkably like Johnnie) skate a few pairs moves. It's advertising the MCI/Worldcom merger. Two are now one theme. They look lovely together. I see the commercial alot on Discovery Channel and TLC. I have never seen it on network TV.

I used to see the Stiegler/Cording MCI commercial being played frequently on both U.S. network and cable TV, but these days I'm seeing the second MCI commercial with the ballroom dancers being played instead.

Here's the link to the Stieglers' official announcement ending their partnership on their site that was posted here before:

What's the link to their fan site?

Tiffany Stiegler and Bert Cording don't yet have an official site at this time that I know of. I believe they're planning to make their competitive debut at the Indy Pairs Challenge competition in Indianapolis in August.

So, has anyone that has actually seen this new pair team practice together think they are gong to be any good? I always thought that Tiffany would be the one to make a real go of it. She just has that Charisma on the ice and given the right partner things could be quite promissing. I would imagine that Johnny is relieved to be free. Best of luck to him and btw does Stephanie still skate?

[FSWer]

Is there an actual fan site for them yet about their skating?
