Seeing the lack of calls for top skaters in that event, i expect no carrots soup.

I KNEW I recognized that elegant lady who sat across from me on my flight to Colorado Springs. It was Franca Bianconi, who I have seen in the KnC with some of my favorite Italian skaters!

Do we have any GS Members on site? I would imagine that the practice sessions have begun and I'm looking forward to following this event.

My flight to Colorado Springs was full of skating folk. I sat behind an ice dance judge from Canada, and I'm pretty sure Nic Soerensen was a few rows ahead of her. He was getting stuff into/out of the overhead bins and talking, and I recognized his voice.

So envious! Enjoy and savour the event, you lucky people!

I want to attend an event in Colorado Springs some day, mostly because I would like an opportunity to poke around in the archives at the World Figure Skating Museum & Hall of Fame.

I was looking for footage of Dick Button's triple loop yesterday, and today, look what showed up on The Skating Lesson:

Posting it here, because it happened at Colorado Springs, 71 years ago!

That's a very European panel for 4CC?

Kao 4CC rally towel.jpg
Shun 4CC rally towel.jpg
Wanted to make a big banner supporting Team Japan (and a new one for Kao too) but debated too long and ran out of time 😞
I'll do banners for Junior Wolds instead

Your description fits half the people in the arena! LOL. I missed mens practice as I am old. PaulE and I will be in front row 106 once ladies start. I have a Japan flag to wave. Saw 3 incognito forum members today.
