A skater's adventures in ice skating and observations of skaters way better than she ever will be. Thursday, January 27, 2011. Alright the major senior "Championship" competition is getting started. I know, a better fan would have been following the Novice and Junior action, but you know, you've got to pace yourself Nationals week and make sure the house is clean so you can sit on the couch and watch the competition. Yeah, it's almost that time! Labels: 2011 US Nationals. Click here to view photos. Globe...

Thirty-something Figure Skater: May 2010
http://30somethingskating.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A skater's adventures in ice skating and observations of skaters way better than she ever will be. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Well, I did not pass my junior moves this Sunday. Three retrys across the board. I came close in points with all the judges, but not close enough. I was really nervous and stiff in the warm-up. I kept thinking, "Why are you out here? Glad I got it out there. I think I'll do way better next time just based on having this one as a practice to get back in the game. Links to this post.

Thirty-something Figure Skater: Cup of Berlin
http://30somethingskating.blogspot.com/2011/01/cup-of-berlin.html
A skater's adventures in ice skating and observations of skaters way better than she ever will be. Thursday, January 13, 2011. Good luck to California Gold. This weekend at Cup of Berlin. The competition site has a live tracker, which I think I remember was a basic update of the team skating and the score. I think Berlin is 6 hours ahead of the eastern time zone, so noon-ish you might see updates. IceNetwork press release on Cup of Berlin. Cup of Berlin 2011 site. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In just a few hours the Cup of China will begin in Beijing. I think the Compulsory Dance begins at 2:45 am here, so it probably starts mid-afternoon there. Will their performances in front of their a home audience be anything like Evengy Plushenko's in Moscow this past weekend? Links to this post. Labels: 2009 Grand Prix. Sunday, October 18, 2009.

Ah, it's January with two more months of winter. Most of the US is a bit sick of winter after record snowfalls, but the snow and cold is all the better to cozy up to winter sports. No, not the football playoffs, way more exciting stuff like ice skating! Was held in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin with the Skyliners. Of New York and Team Braemar. Several countries ...

A skater's adventures in ice skating and observations of skaters way better than she ever will be. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. More Drama, Final Comment. Sometimes, skaters just want to spread their wings and try new avenues. Sometimes, skaters feel their training space is getting too crowded with competitors or perhaps it's not competitive enough. Sometimes, the skater is just not as focused as the coach and friction can occur. Under Orser’s four year successful tutelage Kim captured the World Champ...

http://icemom.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-counsel-kid-out-of-figure.html
Thursday, April 1, 2010. How-to: Counsel a Kid out of Figure Skating. Mom, I'm going to tell it to you straight: you need to counsel your kid out of figure skating. The other parents aren't saying anything when your skater whines in the lobby and complains in the parking lot. They're too polite and they've known you for years. They're your friends and they think you'll be offended if they have the awkward conversation with you. Here's how you do it, Mom:. Recommend horse back riding (the only thing more ...
