Nice Irina Article

[attyfan]

Among other things, she will be a spokesperson for the American Heart Assn's "Go Red" campaign, developing awareness of heart problems in women. You go, girl!

The fact that Irina would sign on with a U.S. based charity, I wonder if that is a hint that she is thinking about a professional career that includes touring in North America.

Many Russian skaters are touring or have toured with US based shows (SOI and/or COI). I will not be surprised if Irina does too.

My perception is that her signing with a US based charity is to get the word out (about heart related diseases) to as many women as possible. She could not have done it by being a spokesperson in Russia alone.

How nice to see an article about one of the top Ladies contenders that isn't snide and snippy.

"Her trademark was a double Biellmann, where she reaches back with both hands, grabs the blade of one skate and pulls it straight over her head, then does the same thing with the other skate."

This wording gives a funny image, if she doesn't put the first foot down.

Actually, it gives a rather PAINFUL image, unless she would be able to float in the air while doing this..... otherwise..... WUMP!! Wonder what the difficulty level would be on that??
