Does that mean that she left her moose at home?
Who's here for the summer?
- Thread starter Anna K.
- Start date
As soon as the GP assignments are out, the forum will come alive! It is usually around mid-June. So any day now! But who knows, with all that is going on with Russia the ISU might hold a bit longer with the assignments....?

Hey, it's July already! Which should mean that the new season has officially started.
I can't believe that I don't see any fireworks

I'm LOLing at those who didn't think the summer would be worth sticking around for.
They'll come back and think:
What the heck! Malinin doing 4As like it's routine? Eteri exploring coaching gigs in America? Davis and Smolkin to Team USA? China giving up its GP? Age changes?

Summer goes apace. Time in general flys at my age....wonder when we will get a new Friends of Figure Skating head at USFS? No ex skaters ever take this job...pay is too small . Wanna know when tickets go on sale for Four Conts.
Just back from Idaho, WY, MT, SD. Off in three weeks to Oshkosh Wisconsin in nice air conditioned car. LOL!
Big Horn Mts WY, Cowboy cafe, Dubois WY. Petting fuzzy cows, National military vehicle museum, Dubois Wy. 450 vehicles from all around the world. Most asked question. What is that roller thingy on the front of a half track? On the trail of Lewis and Clark, ID. Grand Tetons.

All my current lists are updated. I am working on Major Competitions (Euros, North Americans, Olympics & Worlds) prior to 1999. Currently have gotten from 1960-1987. I am not going to post until I decide how far back to go. I need to have the table in place first and then add each event as it occurred.
I posted in another thread that I have three options :
1 From the beginning of skating - could be cool, but information and links are scarce, plus Walt has already done this.
2 From the Post-World War period 1948-1998 - There is more video, but still sparse. But hey can I really not include the Dick Button and the Golden Age of US skating?
3 The TV age from 1960-1998, when networks around the world captured skating better.
Cast your vote for From the Beginning, Post-World War or The TV age if you have an opinion. I am likely to ignore the first choice at this time (Sorry Sonja Henie & Ulrich Salchow).

Everyone cuts the pie differently.....some here would be amazed at how BIG skating was in Hollywood for a time, for instance. It would seem some skating on Youtube can not be economically upgraded and enhanced to the current level of HD quality....more is the pity. Some, like Fumie's 2001-2 season highlights are there, and we are talking 20 years ago....Network and personal recording quality of course of the 1960s-70s varies from watchable to "how sad"
Now thankfully we are in the age of the DVR where I can record an event, edit out commericals and ? and watch Marin Rika and Kaori anytime I do the dishes! And make DVD copies of the shows for my collection. DVD when played through a upconverter player are not bad...

The first lists are up...
Major Championship Videos 1947 – 1998
https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/threads/major-championship-videos-1947-–-1998.92531/
Some of the events from the 1980's can be put in order one of two ways:
1 By order of finish - this can always be found in the Wiki link. It is my default if I don't know the order.
2 By start order (no spoilers) - I personally love this if I can do this. It does take longer.
Any preferences, leave me a comment

Okay here is a mystery for us to solve...I do not know the answer
Please help identify this pair team. The link says European Championships (1949), the description says its from Paris (which would be 1949 Worlds). The description says there are two pairs (no name listed), I think they are the same pair.
Here were the pairs entries from both events

That's what I was thinking, since they were the winners and the styling matches your picture. Thanks a bunch!
