Are U paying attention to Regionals?

[MasterB]

I just reviewed the results of the Regionals, and I have noticed that Sydney Vogel won her competiton. Remember her from the Mid 90's. I thought she had quit the sport. Beatrisa Liang won her Regionals as well, with Ye Bin Mok taking the second spot. I could not find Naomi Nari Nam. Does any one know if she is competing this year? AP seems to be out of the picture completely. I guess her injury last year at Cup of China was very serious. Looks like Angela and Jennifer have the third spot to fight for, if Sasha remains healthy.

Master B, could you give us a link to Regionals results?

Sydney Vogel was competing for Germany the last couple of years, IIRC.

Does Tim Goebel have to go through regionals and sectionals to qualify to nationals?

[Dave Amorde]

Nari Nam will not be competing this season. She did not compete at Regionals, and had no justification for a competition bye. I do see her training from time to time, but I have never asked her what her longterm skating plans are.

[MasterB]

Go to the usfsa website and then click the result/events link and check there. It takes a little searching but you will find them.

Hey Dave,

What are you waiting for? Please ask her and give us details about her training. We have all been waiting around patiently for her return. Last year she missed it by one spot.

No, I think he has some GP assignments. I could rant about that, but I won't. :D

I think you can check regional and sectional results on the USFS website. One of my students skated in Wichita, so I was able to check on her. (10 out 18 in her group. Yay!)

Oh yeah, here it is. Thanks.

Hmm. They don't seem to want you to hot link to the Regionals page. Type in Regional in the Search line.

I don't believe Sydne managed to compete for Germany. She had moved there and placed 16th (really low, not sure of the exact place) at German Nationals. I don't think that she had officially represented Germany in international competition.

In the recent Newsletter I saw Pacific Coast Sectional, Nov. 10-13 in Escondido.

Wouldn't that are be where Naomi Nori Nan hangs out? and maybe she is entered in this competition.

Good Heavens! Sydney Vogel was the US Junior champion in 1995, winning over Tara Lapinski. She finished in the top five at the 1996 US Nationals, and looked to be poised for a run at the podium. Of course, she shared the ice with the likes of Lapinski, Kwan, Hughes, and Cohen - a very formidable group.

Beatrice Liang was another young skater who appeared to have so much potential, and she qualified for US Nationals, in the senior division, at the age of 12 or 13. She was so tiny and jumped so quickly. I believe she finished in the top ten at Nationals, and now she's relegated to Regionals! :sheesh:

Ye Bin Mok finished fifth at Nationals several seasons ago and appeared to have a great deal of promise. What happened to her?

Ye Bin had been dealing with stress fractures in her back. I think her problem now is getting the jumps and conditioning back. Hopefully she will be able to repeat or better her 5th place finish this year. I would love to see her get some international competitions in the 05-06 season.
