Good for you!!! Writing is a challenge in any language and certainly English is no acception! I hope you did well on your assignment. There are certainly many good topics in figure skating you could continue with. When I read your topic of disussion, it caught my interest. It's good to keep the creative juices flowing!
BronzeisGolden said:JonnyCoop & IceNut are right, the "top tapping" incident did occur at the 1999 World Championships in Helsinki. I recently read an article about it in one of my older magazines. Sadly, I've never seen the competition. What do you guys think? Did B&S deserve the Gold?
icenut84 said:I haven't watched that competition for ages, but I remember thinking when I did that I thought Shen & Zhao deserved the gold, largely because of B&S's mistake (Elena had a horrible fall on the 2axel [jump, not throw], and because of that they didn't do the second part of the combo). However, that was ages ago and I probably have better skating knowledge now, so I don't know if my opinion would be the same now. I'll have to watch it again. IIRC, Shen & Zhao were great though.
