I did not realize so many skaters get to go. Glad about that. Can't wait for the pictures!

Well now. I wonder what "media training" is.

Person playing the announcer:
What was in your mind when you fell on the triple flip?

Skater learning to deal with the media:
I was very disappointed with myself, but determined to land everything in the rest of the program.

Haha, looks like they are having fun. With a couple exceptions (Caroline, etc), all the skaters in those two sets of photos seem to be in the "not seriously in the running for this Olympics" category. I guess there will be pictures of the top dogs later on.

Very nice. Thank you. They moved up the ranks fast. (But then again, they were older than most in novices.)

Pairs has become the unwanted step-child of the figure skatig family.

It ought to be the most fascinating, considering the skills involved.

It must hurt to fall on a throw jump!
