So did Barbara Underhill…
Silver Medal at the European Championships and two 
Bronze Medals at the World Championships was born. (Reason for buying had nothing to do with this. It was because it was used for the whole island - not just the part where he was from, but also the part where I am from. And it looks nice).
Every single time. not only the boots, but the blades too.
And I've caught myself wondering about tights. I'm huge fan of over the heel (not footed, not over the boot and not the footless that covers only the ankle) tights, it's what I wear the vast majority of exhibition/competition times, I think it makes the legs look more longer and prettier, so I wonder what brand it is and if it's obvious it was made for that dress, I keep it in mind for inspiration for my own tights for a determined dress 
I love looking at the blades, especially when it's not a Wilson/MK but even more so if it makes no sense for the level. At one point I saw a pairs team doing triples and triple throws that both had Coronation Ace Lite blades. It is impressive, that's for sure.Every single time. not only the boots, but the blades too.
These days when I skate I'm overbooted (Risports with 90 stiffness) but underbladed, and my partner and I do doubles of everything. I learned everything including triple throws on MK Pros and no other blade has the right feel under my feet. I trust them.
Risport RF1 boots these days. And since my original partner and I retired from serious competition in the 1980s, when only the top skaters in each event were shown on TV, without the slow-motion replays, it definitely wasn't usRisport Royal Prime? That is the exact combo I saw, maybe I saw you
. Unless there's someone here who attended Canadians in the 70s and 80s, then nobody on GS has ever seen me skate. (You didn't miss much 
. We won Juniors at Canadians once, but the best we managed in Seniors was 6th, when Underhill and Martini were 1st.)
Found a picture of my old-style Jackson boots from the 1980s, before they changed the shape to something that doesn't fit me. (Not my pairs partner. A small friend who was in men's singles. Neither of us good dancers, but having fun anyway.)Risport RF1 boots these days.

Thank you for the explanation. I kept seeing the term March Madness in online news sources and didn't really know what it meant. Something to do with American university students. I thought: "You mean like the March hare? When supposedly male hares go berserk in the spring mating season?" Your explanation is a relief to my puritanical mind!When other people are watching March Madness but you're more interested in figure skating Worlds. I don't mind watching basketball, but given the choice between basketball and skating, skating wins every time for me.
*Brief Explanation of March Madness - Students can compete for their university in a sport while they attend classes (often receiving scholarships to do so), and universities compete against each other during the season, and at the end of the season there's a tournament to determine the National Champion for the season. For basketball, the leadup to the National Tournament and the Tournament itself happens in March/early April and is colloquially referred to as "March Madness" because so many games are happening at once or within a short time frame. This always coincides with Worlds, and Worlds matter more to me. Whereas many Americans know about March Madness (going so far as to predict who will win each game), most Americans are unaware when figure skating Worlds are happening, GS members excluded, of course.
No, that's Spring Break.Thank you for the explanation. I kept seeing the term March Madness in online news sources and didn't really know what it meant.

Edit to sentence construction: "supposedly go berserk", not "supposedly male".
Its all I see on our local news....something about Gonzagaians or something. Fast forward.....When other people are watching March Madness but you're more interested in figure skating Worlds.

Well not exactly. From the stories I hear, Spring Break at leased used to be college men and women heading to the beaches of Florida, drinking alot, and doing things a puritan mind doesnt really want to know about. Now it seems violence has come into play and streets are closed and there are curfews....not my cup of tea.....rather watch worlds....No, that's Spring Break.
