Who is Davis and White's "handler," Geff? Is he their agent?

Wow. Sasha wasted no time being part of the olympic team! She looks adorable...like a little girl again. Caroline looks quite the young lady...amazing what a little eye makeup will do.

I like Rachel Flatt's photos best, overall speaking. Just radiating positive vibes.

Zhang and Nagasu look slightly older in their pics. maybe it's the make-up

Alyssa is a good-looking girl. Tanith is HOT :love:

They really should hire Alissa Czisny for a toothpaste commercial. Pretty smile!

Alissa is a very pretty girl. Like the "girl next door" type.
I thought Caroline looked very nice too, love her long dark hair.

Whoa! Caroline looks...older? In my mind's eye, she's still that tiny little girl that took the JGP by the storm and had to literally climb up the podium...

One must admit...Team USA is pretty hot in general. =D Very nice shots from Cohen, Zhang and Wagner!

Caroline is looking more and more like her older sister, who's very beautiful and elegant. And also very tall! Is Caroline going to keep growing taller? What if by the Olympics she's taller than Mao, Yuna, and Miki?? I think pretty soon she's going to be the tallest U.S. ladies skater. Her sister once said that the only skater who didn't make her feel like a giant was Carolina Kostner.

I think a few of the female athletes in other sports are hotter than the figure skaters though :p

Great pix! Thanks for the link. Question? How is it that Sasha WAS invited? Hmmm??? That's making some HUGE assumptions, imo.

I am sure NBC wanted Sasha there for the shoot. I bet NBC has already sent the judges for U$ Natls new Rolex / Cartier watches. Sasha will have to skate very badly at Nationals not to be selected for the Olympic team.
I only hope that NBC also likes Caroline and that for once her marks at Natls will reflect what she is doing on the ice.

Maybe because she is the reigning Olympic Silver Medalist. What really bothers me is that Kimmie was not invited but she is Team C and it looks like only Team A an Team B were invited..

All the Team A envelope skaters (except for Denney/Barrett in pairs) and 3 Team B ladies (3rd-5th at Nats) were at the shoot, plus Cohen.

Ladies at the shoot: Cohen, Czisny, Flatt, Nagasu, Wagner, Zhang
Men: Abbott, Lysacek, Mroz, Weir
Pair: McLaughlin/Brubaker
Dance: Belbin/Agosto, Davis/White

ETA: I should add that I don't know why some skaters may not have been invited to the shoot.

Thanks for explaining that, Sylvia, as I was a bit disappointed not to see Emily Hughes and Samuelson & Bates, though I originally thought Johnny Weir was Emily when I saw him with the fur on his head. :)

All the skaters look lovely; I'm glad they got the opportunity to partake in such an enjoyable event.:agree:

Kimmie wasn't at Nationals, so I assume that is why she was not invited. Sasha hasn't competed in forever, but she's the reigning Olympic silver medalist and a rather familiar face, so I imagine that's the only reason she got invited. Clearly, she hasn't done anything since 2006 to justify getting invited to this. I think it's jumping the gun, but NBC is probably drooling over this potential comeback story.

they did the same thing four years ago, IIRC... and a lot of those that did the media summitt didn't make the team...

Well, Caroline got shafted the last two nationals .... by two totally different methods. I hope she gets judged fairly next year. And if that's not possible, then it's the sport's loss.

The pictures of all the skaters look very nice. But some of them, especially Caroline's, look like a little too much Photoshop was used.
