Figure skater stories that could be a TV/motion picture movie..

[Mathman]

With over 300 pages of notes, dozens and dozens of hours on tape and hundreds of photos...I better be able to put something together.

:agree:

I will help you:

"The Sexiest Men in Figure Skating" by KB

Part I: The Legends

"He was known as Mathman..."

(Btw MM - you thought I was joking about using your Czisny line - but read the next issue of IFS very carefully and in the opening paragraph of the Alissa story you might just recognize something....)

I have always felt I had it in me to write the Great American Novel. Here's what I've got so far:

"Call me Ishmael."

Wuddya think?

Hee-hee....you'll be the only 'non' - Ruskie chapter in the book - right before the 37 chapters devoted to some guy named Alexander...

Hmmm....I think if you can steal from Herman Melville then it's okay that I 'borrowed' from you, LOL!

Angela Nikodinov!!

I could totally see that one.

Others mentioned-Scott Hamilton and Elena&Anton are the others that I can also see being made.

Well, if one wanted to delve into high camp (which would be the only way to do it), there's always the Zhulin/Usova/Gritshuk triangle, where Zhulin had the affair with Gritshuk while skating and married to Usova; at some point Usova allegedly saw Gritshuk sitting at a bar and slammed her face into the counter. This was also I believe about the time the Gritshuk and Bobek got into a fight over some guy (presumably NOT Zhulin) and Bobek may or may not have slapped her.

Now THERE is a movie I think people would pay to see!

Tenorguy, I'm going to answer for MM, since he's probably still sleeping off the turkey. In the Heat of the Night!

Hey, if Bobek did in fact slap her (Bobek says she didn't, Gritshuk says she did), I would have paid to see THAT!! As a matter of fact, had I been a judge at the time, had I heard that Bobek slapped Gritshuk, I'd've stuck an extra .2 on each one of Bobek's marks just for that!! Pasha, as you may have gathered, was never one of my favorites. Tho I understand she has mellowed out now and admits to being a bit mortified about her behavior circa Nagano, she was certainly a major pain in the butt back then; I felt so sorry for Evgeni Platov.

Jonny, but they all seem to have survived.
