Usually she's saying something people want to throw bricks to the TV. So far she's doing okay considering most of the backstage chicks suck beyond all recognition.. "you sucked. .how do you feel" is what I'm used to.

Brennan's commentating on the ladies????

No on ESPN2 they are showing Ice Dance at the moment.. and they have her backstage. "Let's go down to the ice and get the story on that.." chick

She is commentating on ice dance on ESPN 2 and a few minutes ago said that if Tiffany Stiegler's partner does not get his U.S. citizenship in time for the Olympics USFSA is thinking of pairing her with Peter T. Off topic I know but interesting. I think Brennen has a very pleasant speaking voice.

totally forgot to check this:

Latest Withdrawals at 2005 State Farm U.S. Championships

(1/13/05) — U.S. Figure Skating announces the following withdrawals from the 2005 State Farm U.S. Championships in Portland, Ore.:

Senior Men: Dennis Phan (injury)
Senior Pairs: Kristen Roth and Steve Hartsell (injury to Roth)
Senior Ladies: Angela Nikodinov
Senior Pairs: Marisa Sharma and Amir Ganaba
Senior Ladies: Jennifer Don

Just thought Angela was the only scratch for Ladies Short

 

[Arsenette]

ESPN2 has the report on Angela

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

I know.............I just want to cry so bad

 

[lise]

what are they saying? Sorry, don't get ESPN2 here.

 

[Arsenette]

what are they saying? Sorry, don't get ESPN2 here.

Just noted what happened and had the clip of the press conference with the USFSA release on the subject (condolences, etc.). SHowed a video of the minivan and noted that Angela has had a rough career personally outside the ice. They noted their condolences and basically left it as that. It was a nice concise report and very subdued as you might imagine considering how close everyone was to Angela - even on the broadcast booth.

P.S. Pairs just started after a commercial break and Ladies should be resuming momentarily with:

11 Megan Williams-Stewart, Univ of Delaware FSC
12 Jennifer Don, Texas Gulf Coast FSC - scratched
13 Kimberly Meissner, Univ of Delaware FSC
14 Angela Lien, Duluth FSC
15 Stephanie Rosenthal, Utah FSC

Terry was saying basically what had happened. They showed the wrecked vehicle and the USFSA president or somebody was addressing the announcement to the public.

Thanks!!

 

[Arsenette]

FSU has someone that has contact to someone in the arena - they are on the ice warming up.
