While wasting valuable work time, I started poking around another site & found a thread chatting about the 2005-06 season... the good / the bad / the ugly / the indifferent and wondered what GSers thoughts are on the year that was...
Let's set the ground rule of no bashing... no propping of your favorites... etc. Just your thoughts... I'll begin...
The Good
I truly enjoyed ice dancing for the first time... the one dicipline where CoP might actually work... eventually
The Men's world competition. Lots of fun & I enjoyed seeing Brian be more than just a pretty face on the ice!
DivaKwara's OGM ... the skate wasn't wonderful, but her winning was!
Miki Ando's Merry Christmas program at the beginning of the season
The Bad
Michelle's injury really hampered the competitive aspect... I hadn't really thought just how spoiled I'd been... it just wasn't the same
Irina's olympic meltdown. Didn't see that one coming...
Plushy's olympic free skate... wtf was that?
The Ugly
The pair's silver medal
Miki Ando's olympic costumes
The Olympics... from Michelle's withdrawl to the final ladies' pose... I can't believe I waited four years for THAT!!!
The Quad Strategy... please. what a joke. If you can't land it, don't throw it...
The Indifferent
Sasha's Olympics & Worlds performance... it blows my mind how the fans, media, etc. blather on & on about how she can't handle pressure and then we turn around and pile it on... only to feign shock & awe when the pressure does her in... either support her or let it go...
The whole Johnny thing... never understood all that...
Evan L. - just indifferent to his skating... looking for his development next season
The obsession with the next generation of skaters... Mao, Kimmie & all the rest have a long way to go... Have we not learned anything about crowing the "Saviour of Skating" before they even have an opportunity to take the ice?
Those are my thoughts... what are yours?
