So it will be an exhibition rather than a competition?
Yeah, I think so, too. For a while there I thought they had something going. A few did have a good competitive spirit about them, with Michelle, Irina, Sasha, Fumie and Shizuka in the mix. One that I attended on the men's side had Plushenko, Joubert, Weir, Lysacek, Weiss and Griazov.I think the cheesefests as we knew them have bit the dust.
Actually, that's a very encouraging development for those skaters.I think this was was supposed to be an International cheesefest, but now the European and Asian skaters have plenty of shows at home and don't need to come to the US to make money.
