Anyone else having trouble voting? The site's been down/very buggy for me since yesterday. Hope Jason manages to stay in second place. Found the official rules and it turns out the top two, not three, will win based on the popular vote. The OC Tanner & US Olympic committees will then select two more recipients of the Inspiration Award for a total of 8 rings awarded (the other 4 goes to the Paraolympians).

Curious, where did you find the official rules?

I'm sure that even if Kori didn't win by popular vote (though it looks pretty good right now), she would have a good shot at the at-large award.

The rules are here:

From page 2:

Eight (8) prizes will be awarded during the sweepstakes.
(4) Inspiration Award Winners, (2) Olympians and (2) Paralympians, will be based on popular vote on​

www.octanner.com/olympics.
(2) Inspiration Award Winners, (1) Olympian and (1) Paralympian, will be chosen by O.C. Tanner employees.
(2) Inspiration Award Winners (1) Olympian and (1) Paralympian will be chosen by the U.S. Olympic Committee.​

BTW, a photo of what seems to be the ring that will be awarded is here:

I vote early Eastern time, and it goes pretty fast, but I do find that the more Voters at one time, the slower the site gets.

I would love to see them have a long, sustained and successful career together. Hmm. Kinda like Boitano and Lever...

Voting going much faster. Sometimes it does slow down when there are lots of voters.

Thanks for the welcome Mrs. P. I have only been a member of GoldenSkate for a couple of months now, but I have come to realize that you pretty much have all of the answers!

Aw, that's kind of you, but I definitely don't always have all the answers. Many times its a matter of some major power Googling.

And hello, Mr. Brown, it's your 300k votes!

Nick Baumgartner: 420,028
Jason Brown: 300,237
Curt Tomasevicz: 162,845
Eddy Alverez: 149,160
Jessica Smith: 114,608

100k votes in ONE DAY. He might have a shot at getting the first place spot!

I got my 100 in and will keep doing it until the polls close. I think it's pretty neat that USFSA is tweeting about this and urging people to vote. Nice that they're supportive.

They know that he's the best thing that's happened to the sport in years (and even if I didn't like his style I'd still say this - I bet he's brought in a ton of new fs fans!)
