    The Madonna Thread

    After 50+ shows, her voice was failing her although the fluidity of her moving had improved. I found this performance very moving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbyPhfuiKNw It made me think of the Olympians, World Medalists, National Medalists, and general members of the skating community...

    I was still mad at the Human Zamboni for what she did at 1991 Worlds. She was a danger to other skaters as well as herself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc0qxdfKGGw :eek: I'm still a little mad.
