I was recently at the American Legends show through Disson. I have been to previous shows and they were all great, but there is something that bothers me about them. After the latest show I almost feel like something needs to be said to them. When my family left the show I know we were not the only ones that felt jipped...if that is the word to use. The skaters from the 80’s and early 90’s came out and skated their hearts out as best as they possibly could. Unless the skater is injured, like Evan Lysacek, I feel there should be no reason why those that have medaled since the mid 90’s to present can’t do the same as the ones I would not expect. Tara Lipinski and Sasha Cohen didn’t skate at all, instead they introduced dancers. I’ve seen Tara skate on the Today show without jumps, so it isn’t like she can’t do anything anymore with her past injuries. It seems as soon as Sasha started school she gave up on doing anything on the ice. Sarah Hughes came out with her niece, which was nice, but there were no jumps. It would be nice to see Kristi Yamaguchi out there again, doing something at least. On one of the Pandora shows Kimmie came out and did jumps and everything, and she is the last person I would expect because she tends to be forgotten nowadays. I don’t know, I’m just very disappointed.
