Watching the Bechke & Petrov performances have made me very nostalgic for the pro circuit. Given that most of the pro competitions were televised it gave viewers at home a lot more opportunities to watch competitive skating and follow favourite skaters/teams.

I remember reading an interview with Patrick where he was talking about how excited he was as a child to be accepted as a student by Osbourn Colson - who was very elderly at the time. He envisioned learning all sorts of jumps and things and instead "Mr. Colson" made him spend most of his time...

I think the writing was on the wall when Philip died. He had been the love of her life since she was a teenager. I think whatever happened was somewhat unexpected. I gather Princes William, Andrew, Edward and his wife Sophie all travelled together in a rush to Scotland so I assume her condition...

I looooved Pina - I think it was one of my all time favourite programmes. Fabulous choreography! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0z56aKAvIs

I have been a fan of Justine since she set a national novice women's record that stood for a couple of years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y35t4Xvwue4&list=PL1J8Ig1tWVgWruuuUf6Wqoj8XpXd0B4XO I followed her when she partnered with Steven LaPointe and then with Matthieu Ostiguy. When I heard...

Warsaw Cup - after the short programme Brasseur/Bardei are 4th, Wang/Boudreau-Audet 7th and Matte/Ferland 10th

I think sometimes people look at a map and see this huge country of Canada and assume there is a matching population. The population of Canada is less than most European countries - Spain has 46.9 million people (according to Wikipedia), Canada only has 37.7 million. So I am not sure where the...

I just got NordVPN and I get Russia. That and the high ratings it received are the reasons I chose it over others.

Charlotte was sticking her tongue out at her grandfather (Kate's father). The Middletons looked after the kids all day while Kate and William were sailing.

Good for her.

Was anyone watching the early women's competition (the STAR groups)? I could swear I saw Juliane Seguin with one of the skaters in the K&C. Is she doing some coaching?
