Da Kwan Remains Da Kwan!!!

Well, my mother and I were about 14 rows up from the ice just off-center. They were spectacular seats. I wouldn't have wanted to be any lower. You could see the entire ice surface from where we sat and it was a tremendous view. I bought our tickets (at Ticketmaster) in September as soon as the individual event tickets went on sale.

Thanks Idle, but my intial thought of the color of the dress was tangerine

That was definately the color but maybe slightly more pink.

IDLERACER · Jan 12, 2004

[COLOR=FF4000]According to my web-color names chart, "Tangerine" and "Orange-Red" are the same thing.[/COLOR]

VIETgrlTerifa · Jan 12, 2004

Oh really? I guess my idea of tangerine is just off. I have to say it's coral too. Thanks for listing all the colors for us Idle, now we all can agree with what color MK's LP dress was finally.

Does anyone else consider colors to be what they are called in the crayola box?

IDLERACER · Jan 12, 2004

I think the garment was this color :
[COLOR=FF8080]¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢[/COLOR]

Unless it's my computer screen, there's a little too much pink in that Idle.

I was there live and based on my computer screen colors it looked more like a cross between the salmon and tomato. Probably a little closer to tomato. The dark salmon doesn't look dark enough.

At some point I'll post some random nationals thoughts before I forget everything. I started out taking notes but I was also trying to take pictures so the notes dwindled out.

Can you watch practices with individual ticket purchases? If I'm gonna go, I think I'd like to see practices too.

I think the garment was this color :

Her dress was that color, but her performance was this color:

That kind of looks gold.

Piel, I always think of colors as named in the Crayola box...sea green, burnt umber, etc.

PS. On my TV her dress looked coral. What a dress! The cut was beautiful, a very elegant and mature look, I loved the back straps...a nice change from all the sequin happy outfits!

I want all of you to go to Portland next year. There is no excuse for you GS members on the West Coast. You must be part of the audience when MK skates. It's a religious experience, and I'm not religious. And catch Sasha Cohen, too, who is a great skater and who may win. But it is La Kwan who will get you even if she winds up in last place.

Great post, Joe. And I assume you'll be paying for the tickets and travel costs so all of us can go to Portland next year, right?

Doris,
All the things you brought up--Tim and his boots, Michelle and her boots back in '98, Ye Bin's problems, plus the the things with Danielle--all of it adds up to just what you said, very creepy. We talk about some skaters concentrating too much on winning medals, but we rarely talk about coaches. Of course you want to inspire your students and get them to skate their best, but not at the expense of their health. Naturally I don't know what's in Frank's head, but I sure HOPE he's not so obsessed with having an OGM that he loses his perspective on things.

Actually, Michelle had her boot problem this season too. She got her boots last cut to fit her feet at middle of Dec. The first time she felt 'much comfortable' was a week before ABC Winter Chanlange. She had been run through 14 pairs. That's why she can't get her new SP ready and did very little fine tunning with her LP. She has also got her 3/3 at midle of Dec.

With two more monthes to the worlds, she will be fully prepared and on fire.

I wonder if Vera Wang gave her a "three for the price of one" special on those three new dresses.........wow, I bet they cost about 5 thousand a pop.............42

Unfortunately, I think a coach's worth is determined by the success of his/her athletes. If this is truly a pattern with Frank, it's pretty ugly.

Not to mention has medalled at both Olympics, has medalled at every Worlds since 1996 (five gold), eight Nationals Titles (two more silver), and a bunch of others as well. My gosh, I think the only titles she has missing from her resume are 4CC (btw I think she should do this just to add it to her collection) and a GPF Title (though she has a bunch of silvers as well).

Dont want to be nit picky but michelle has 3 national silver medals not 2 (94,95,97). Also she does own a GPF Title, (96). I to think she should go for 4CC so she can add that to her resume!
