maybe ticket sales have been horribly slow and that's why they're stuffing the seats?

With the talent that's going to perform at TEB?

 

[seniorita]

7000 children??? To do what??Sing along in Joubs Lp?
Or maybe that's cool, I ll bring my barbie also.

 

[R.D.]

that's a huge crowd. Maybe it's a tactic to get the arena to look full during TV broadcasts. the TEB audience tends to be very quiet and sparse.

now, that is genius!

 

[vmfan89]

Agreed that it's a good intiative, but 7000 seems like a large number. Anyway those are lucky kids, I wish my school would have brought me to see a skating competition.

 

[kandidy]

My heart is torn between Yuna ans Sasha whom should I support!

 

[sigrid]

7000? gosh...

I'll spend a lot of money in accomodation, planes, etc. And will I have to fight with 7000 noisy kids?

Thank goodness I'll arrive to Paris early in the morning...

Well, what are "school children"? Are they 7 years old, or are they 17?

Last year they were primary school children...

 

[R.D.]

about 3 weeks to ago. I am so excited. Sasha has not yet withdrawn. Maybe she will actually show up and skate!

Personally, (not to discourage you or any other fans excited for her return)...



I'd wait until the week of the competition and no withdrawal announcement.

or better yet, the day of the competition.

:chorus: ...and talk to them...7000 potential new figure skating fans!!!

Do they stay for all four disciplines? Seems like a very long day for younger kids.

I would prefer primary school kids to 13-14 year olds. Those are the worst.

 

[snowflake]

My guess is that they just watch the men's short or are divided between compulsary and men. I can't imagine 7000 small children in the arena at the same time. Are Paris school children very disciplined?

 

[seniorita]

Yes imagine 7000 parisian kids entering the arena eating crepes!

:chorus: ...and talk to them...7000 potential new figure skating fans!!!

:think: interesting...I ll try..by the time of gala Plushy will have 7000 more fans

I prefer primary kids also, no hormones and drooling getting in the way when Joubert will be on the ice

hah, hah...just 6999. I bet the child sitting next to you will be the future Joubert

 

[seniorita]

I bet the child sitting next to you will be the future Joubert

I cant be THAT lucky

 

[SerpentineSteps]

I cant be THAT lucky

DON'T TALK TO MY CHILD LIKE THAT!!:birthday::boohoo:

 

[seniorita]

who is you child? When did I talk to? I m officially lost...lol

 

[PolymerBob]

OK, back on topic now. The competition is just 18 days away. Let's hope all the skaters stay healthy and bring their A game.
