Joesitz said:Thanks MM. That's the one I was looking for. 2005 in Portland was its innauguration and it includes the engraving of all the gold medalists since 1914.
Apparently it is a Challenge Trophy and can not be kept by any skater.
Back to Sasha - Is she temporarily holding this trophy or is there another one which she speaks of in the journal entry?
Which skaters will have their names to be engraved by the end of January 2006? (This is a prediction question and not easy to answer.)

I thought the winners got some sort of silver trophy (tray, platter) to keep and then their names went on a challenge trophy. I haven't seen any pictures of Sasha and her 2006 trophy, but looking at this one of Michelle...:

...is what I think they keep. I can't find a link to a picture of Michelle with what I presumed was the Challange Trophy, but I know I saw a photo of her sitting next to a the one MM posted last year. So maybe that is what Sasha is referring to as a trophy in her entry, the platter they keep?
