[KwanFan1212]

Sounds awesome. I can't wait to see it on TV. I hope you will let us all know about the event if you get to go Lad!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! To see B/S live again in Vancouver!!!! I'm in!
Can the ticket be purchased throught ticketmaster?

 

[windspirit]

I wish I could go. When is it going to be on American TV?

Btw, there is one additional Russian in "Europe" category. Aren't there any other skaters in Europe who could have been invited to this event? I love Russian skaters, but I'd love a little variety, too.

I wasn't sure what nationality Kovarikova & Novotny were. They are Czech, right?

 

[Mathman]

Yes they're Czech. The others on the European team are British and Ukrainian, so that's OK.

I usually root for the good old USA in events like this, but Canada is fielding three (four) of my all-time favorites. I think Jose will have a great chance to beat Nicole, Maria and Oksana.

I hope that Alexei will be able to compete.

http://www.members.lycos.co.uk/windspirit6/sm/duh3.gif That's right. Oksana is not Russian. I have no idea why I wrote that. Maybe I didn't have my cup of coffee yet. Thanks for pointing that out, Mathman. I certainly wouldn't want to lump Ukrainians and Russians together as one group.
