The team building exercise was team rhythmic gymnastics. Skaters were split into 4 teams and each given either ball, ribbon, hoop or rope. They then had to perform a 60-90 second group routine. Team rope ended up winning.

The pics of each team were tweeted by USFSA and they said videos would be up in a few days.

The four rhythmic gymnastics videos from the official Champs Camp team-building activity now are posted here: http://www.youtube.com/user/USFSVideo.

[Nota bene: These videos are not to be confused with the Shibutanis' unofficial video from Champs Camp that they unveiled last night.]

The Shibitanis are hilarious creative young people. Marina needs to let them show that when they are skating because they do not lack personality or charm.

I agree... I could totally see them doing something comical as a free dance instead of the fred and ginger stuff...

Hmmm... Lysacek is in a still photo of Team Jump Rope - http://skatingmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/dsc_2428.jpg?w=450 - but does not appear in the team's video (or in any other team's video, AFAIK) ....

He wasn't in the movie, but in photos from earlier, he was playing around with the rope with the rest of the team during the practice time. We dont know what his injury is, but it may have prevented him from actively participating. He was still there during the whole process though AFAIK.

PS-It would have been hilarious to see him in it though. Sigh.

Yes, exactly: I was wondering only what Lysacek's absence from the video indicates about the nature of and prognosis for his injury.
(Was not suggesting that it is a reflection of any kind of bad attitude.)

I've been wondering what the injury is too, but there is literally NO information from Lysacek, his coach, or USFSA. He doesn't seem to be wearing a huge brace of any kind, but many injuries require nothing but rest to heal so we may never know.

That Adam Rippon might pull off the Don Draper look could be the biggest surprise of the season.

I agree. Its going to take me awhile to not automatically see the angel curls when I look at him.

He is still cute! But he became more masculine
