Worlds Wayback Machine: Kurt Browning, 1989 Free Skate

When I was a kid, and people asked me which figure skater I wanted to grow up to be like, I knew what the answer was supposed to be. I was supposed to want to be Debi Thomas or Jill Trenary when I grew up. Katarina Witt might have been acceptable, although that answer would have pegged me as kind of a Communist. I chose Midori Ito and Surya Bonaly ( Read more... )

So... I'm not really here to post anything of importance ^^;; For a brief recap: The GP Final was amazing, the figure skating world has a new GOAT (I mean, what is a pchan?), the Russians rule the ladies, and the Shibutanis are still the only people that can make Coldplay engaging ( Read more... )

Not sure if any of the old guard are around to do something about this, but I went to look at ONTD_Skating's wiki today and discovered I couldn't because apparently they've decided to no longer offer wikispace for free.However, they will let you save your pages and whatnot before they get deleted, so I was hoping a member of the wiki could rescue ( Read more... )

Changing of the Guard at NBC

eaweek wrote in ontd_skating Oct 22, 2014 11:36

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted here already. NBC (in the US) are officially putting Scott Hamilton and Sandra Bezic out to pasture. I posted about this on my own LJ, with a link to the New York Times article and some of my own biased/ rambling reaction.

Takahashi Daisuke Announced Retirement

takarai_karin wrote in ontd_skating Oct 19, 2014 17:54

Nobody else have posted this yet, so I guess I should. The news is actually a few days old, you guys probably already know, but I was (am) pretty shaken up that I couldn't really process it. I recorded his retirement press con clips and left them in my HDD. I couldn't get myself to watch them.

But today I have, so I guess I'm sharing.

all is terminated, dai-sha fierce
