A question for any ice-skaters out there

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381906) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Feb

The subject is figure-skating but Vince’s photo is of Thai boxers. Both very athletic sports. I’m watching the men’s figure skating and one thing, among many others, especially puzzles me. I think there is/are myLotters who...

I made my very special frittata for dinner tonight. It was way too filling, but quite delicious if I have to say so myself. Hubby and I are going to finish watching a Netflix movie of 10 episodes tonight. It is called Spinning...

Oops!

DianneN @DianneN (254949) • United States 3 Nov 20

It was bound to happen. Ice skating for hours a day while doing rigorous online schooling is bound to make for an accident. I found our granddaughter in a boot while dancing and singing in one of her daily TikTok videos. I...

And.....it’s Back!

DianneN @DianneN (254949) • United States 24 Jun 20

Back to skating! Apparently, her head coach wore a mask and the few skaters there did not. Each stayed in her own area. Her coach was amazed at how she almost has her double axel down. I guess the synthetic ice her parents...

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 23 May 19

Hi Friends! Recently I was treated by a friend to tickets to "Stars on Ice" when it was in Minneapolis at the beginning of the month. We had box seats - and the first thing I noticed was that we were alone in the box. I felt...

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 7 Mar 19

As I was reading some of the comments in my review of the figure skating movie "I, Tonya" - I was reminded that I, too, am a skater! And I thought I would tell you about my experience of skating. In the early to mid 90s I was...

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 5 Mar 19

Seeing as I am still in the mode of sports movies that are really more about dysfunctional relationships, I bring you my review of 2017's "I,Tonya", dealing with the 1994 scandal between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding preceding...

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 30 Jan 17

Apparently there is a new movie coming out about figure skating. No, I don't mean a sequel to "Blades of Glory" (which was pretty great in it's own right.) - this one is going to be a biographic film about US. Figure Skater Tonya...

To say that I'm not a sports fan isn't entirely accurate I just realized. I do get the odd thrill out of watching curling for some reason, and I can even somewhat get in to football and baseball without knowing much about...

We were discussing this with her coach last night and, instead of competing in the free skate level as we originally discussed, she is going to train to compete at the compulsory level instead. This is a harder level because it...

They've had a few weeks off from it while the rink melted the ice/performed annual maintenance. But, the summer session starts on Monday so we're going to get them registered today. However, I'm not going to register them for as...

I noticed that Figure Skating was on my local channel here and decided to watch it. An American gal skated and was very good. But, this Asian guy who just anchored his team was fantastic. The Asian team was lacking in their...

Did anyone watch the world championship? Daisuke Takahashi is the first Japanese man to win. He is an awesome skater! I was a little depressed, though, that Johnny Weir was not there, because he dropped out. But then he...
