Figure skating association game

I have nothing personal against Tara, but that is partly why I prefer Charlie & Tanith as fs commentators!

As a commentator, I greatly prefer Johnny Weir over Tara !!!

 

[iluvtodd]

So do I, as he gives more technical information than Tara. However, I must admit that I was upset with Johnny when he ridiculed Bradie Tennell's desire to skate to "Cinderella" a few years ago. Personally, I LOVED her Cinderella program (and it was her childhood dream to skate to Cinderella).

Glad I didn't hear it. I'd have probably blown my top, because I also LOVED Bradie's Cinderella program. It's so much more interesting and complex in theme than so many people give credit for.

Disney's live Cinderella starred a radiant Lily James and was directed by Kenneth Branagh, script by Chris Weitz - a really unusual take.

I really enjoyed Disney's live Cinderella! Of course I loved the original animated version, too!

Angela Nikadinov skated to a very memorable Cinderella program @ 1998 US Nationals, too!

Angela is now a coach, isn't she?

Brand new coaching team: Charlie & Tanith Belbin White! (with Greg Zuerlein, who does have coaching experience.) I can’t wait to see how they do—I’d love to see more coaching options for North American ice dancers.

Who can ever forget Jimmy's K&C reaction earlier this year @ US Nationals - "Oh, sh*t, that's my dog!" (OK, I'm paraphrasing it)?
