Carolina Kostner. I’ll always believe that she was the best in the ladies’ event. I know I am in the minority on this

Liza "Tuk-Tuk" rocks! I hope she makes the Russian Olympic Team!

Another vote for Ms. Tuktamysheva and as for Professor Mishin, he was just honored by the ISU with a Lifetime Achievement Award

Professor Mishin skated pairs with Tamara Moskvina back in the day.

I'll have to ask again, how come you call her Tuk-Tuk when she calls herself Tuktik? Must be a well kept secret, as you didn't disclose it last time I asked!
Is a tuktuk not a form of transport in Vietnam (and maybe other Asian states). Where's the connection?

 

[iluvtodd]

For years I thought she was referred to as "Tuk-Tuk." I like the sound of it!

They are and they are currently in the lead. FS today.
You'll find it all in the GS thread.

Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner were also coached by John Nicks

(weird note: I listen to the Beatles channel, and there are numerous analysis and "stories of the Four" shows. One I heard part of today is a favorite, a father and son doing musical analysis of the unique chord transitions they created, how they arrived at those chord changes and why they were like nothing we'd heard before, guitar riffs and piano parts, and so forth. Fascinating! Anyhoo, the words on my radio come up with their first names: Randy and Tal. I always do a double take. Huh? Randy and Tai ??? LOL.

Back to the game with Tai and Randy!
