If You Could Invite 2 Skaters To Dinner??

I just saw this question on the Tennis Channel and the answers from the players and fans were great. So I thought I would ask the same questions of figure skating fans. If you could invite 2 skaters to dinner, who would you invite.

It's a very tough choice but, I would definitely have Maria Butyrskaya as there a thousand things I'd love to discuss with her.

I think I'd have Patrick Chan over as well. He's so smart and he's had such a big career that I think I could listen to stories about his life for hours.

For Dessert........Plushy ..;):devil:

Kurt Browning and Scott Hamilton. The two best of all time IMO. Plus they're hilarious.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because your may end up immensely disappointed if it does not turn out as well as you imagined.

Picture the scene. Skater at one end of the table, you at the other. But the skater's parent and coach are sitting in between, and they spend the whole time talking to each other. You and skater are both bored, but because you are at opposite ends of the table with people in between, you can't even talk to each other. So, skater futters on their phone, while you sit there feeling really out of place.

Yes, I'm speaking from experience.

The problem was that I didn't have any say in the matter, because it was the parent that invited me to eat with them.

But, I'll know better in future. :agree:

Anyway, back to the fun nature of this thread.

If it was a romantic meal, well, there are too many skaters that I would like to invite for me to be able to choose just two! :drama: But, there again, a romantic meal with 2 skaters might turn out complicated... :p :devil:

So, I think I would invite my World Champion children instead. Anna and Martin seem like great kids, and it would be fun to spend some time with them and get to know them.

I'm a barrel of surprises, aren't I?! :laugh:

Funnily enough, those two were amongst the first names that came into my mind when I was saying that there were a lot of skaters I would like to invite if it was a romantic meal. :love: :cool:

But, as I said, two at a time would get complicated. Especially when they are team-mates... (Papa Mishin would have my guts for garters! :drama: :eek: )

So, I instead went for two skaters that I thought would be fun to hang out with.

I would invite Evgenia and Yuzuru. There has been rumors she likes him a little bit maybe, so I would try to hook em up. lol
And then I would leave them alone.
Just imagine a whole family of World Champs! šŸ˜‚

I was obviously joking.

Taking the question more seriously now, I'd would invite Brian Orser so I could ask him what is his secret. lol
And Kwan. :)
