Beautiful piece of music choice from Karen. Two weeks to a competition, that's a very short time. I hope she is ready and gives it her all.
I resemble that remark, too! Yes, he did Hand The Colbys theme songs. Another one too, was it Knots Landing or Falcon Crest? (I watched them all in the early 80s, thank god for VHS by then!) Besides that and Rocky I couldn't tell you what else he's done.
As soon as you hear the theme, you will recognize it; used by a number of skaters in the past. I wasn't familiar with the title, but knew the music immediately.

Has anyone seen the EDGE QUALITY of Angela Wang? Her skating quality is magnificent, and most of her jumps are preceded by a gorgeous, difficult entrance. Why haven't we seen her on any podiums?
I guess because she's not exactly the FUTURE of US skating and because she wasn't the most hyped as a junior so she's not as hyped now. Honestly, I think it's a USFSA thing--even international things are determined by them since she can't podium if she isn't even entered. I wish she had more assignments, though. Maybe she'll get Gracie's COC spot?
Angela is not eligible for Gracie's spot because she doesn't rank high enough to be on the substitutes list. IIRC, she's had some injury issues that caused her to have to miss assignments that would have given her a chance to get on that list.
I've never heard that music before but I like it way more for Karen than "Carmen"! I'm glad she's changed her FS!
Anyone here feel that Caroline Zhang is a dark horse for an olympic spot? She came out of no where last year and took an impressive 5th. She was never the fastest and never the strongest jumper, but she had a fire in her belly last year.
She is also the reigning national champ and recieved a bronze at US classic, Senior B's are listed as part of your body of work. Japan Open on the other hand is actually not, so her sixth place finish there does not even factor in to the selection process. So far she is being looked at as the reiging National champ, fourth place at worlds, U.S. Classic bronze medalist, GP results TBD, Nationals results TBD.
Obviously a skater coming up from the junior ranks will not have the body of work (or comparable body of work) that a Wagner, etc. has. Hardly seems fair that might automatically eliminate them from the possibility of being on the team.

I guess I'm one of the few who didn't think Karen's "Carmen" program was all that bad. I thought some of the choreography could have been tweaked a bit and maybe a better edit of music
Still, really bold move to switch to a new program just a week or two before an event. That was either a brilliant move or the beginning of a disaster.

Who is she? Quick research shows 11th in Novice ladies in KC. That gets you in International Selection Pool? I must be missing something.
