Ice Skating Thread

Well it started already so, what ya gotta say about it? I just watched the pairs short and ice dance compulsory.

I'm going with China but Canada is going up there in pairs.

Tmr's the men's short

watching it on CBC!

Watching the Figure Skating Championship in Tokyo right now. Daisuke Takahashi skating to Phantom Opera, one of my fav pieces.

Edit: Awwwwww... he was in tears at the end of the performance. :smitten:

I wonder when that will come to Oz? (the telecast, that is) Mrs A.D. loves the ice skating.

I dunno. Here's the Official Site. Mebbe there's some information there.

Jeff Buttle just skated. He dropped three times. I hope he still makes it on the podium tho... :fingerscrossed:

1 Brian JOUBERT FRA 240,85
2 Daisuke TAKAHASHI JPN 237,95
3 Stephane LAMBIEL SUI 233,35
4 Tomas VERNER CZE 226,25
5 Evan LYSACEK USA 222,18
6 Jeffrey BUTTLE CAN 214,96

Buttle tumbled from 2nd place to 6th. :shamefulcry:

I recognise NONE of those names. We used to get the Worlds on TV every year, but I haven't seen them for a long time....

I only know the Canadians, the Japanese skater, and the French skater, because they've been making headway this season.

The Bulgarians beat the Canadians in pairs. :shamefulcry:

Yu Na Kim is leading heading into the short program, Miki Ando second, kimmie meissner 3rd i think. Mao Asada is in 5th currently. Nobunari Oda finished in 7th place.

See, Canada and China did make the top...so good for Miki to make it to the top, and Ayaka singing I Believe was awesome

ATTENTION PLEASE ! I FOUND A GOOD ENGLISH-SPEAKING FORUM FOR ICE SKATING : http://yunaforum.com/index.php? It's new but the MULTIMEDIA section is already very rich with some uploads of avi files on mediafire ! Such as the latest Dreams on Ice performance of this year july ! There is also a section devoted to other skaters.
Some topics are particularly intresting too, such as http://yunaforum.com/index.php?showtopic=50&st=0&p=289&#entry289 Music you would love to see Yu-Na skate to.
The pictures section is already very rich by his own :naughty:
:woot: :woot: :woot:

Ando, Oda clinch Olympic berths at Grand Prix Final

TOKYO - Japan's Miki Ando booked her ticket to next February's
Winter Olympics after finishing runner-up to South Korean starlet Kim
Yu Na at the Grand Prix Final on Saturday.

Nobunari Oda finished second in the men's event to also
guarantee himself a berth for Vancouver. American Evan Lysacek took
advantage of an error-strewn performance from Daisuke Takahashi to
win the men's title with 249.45 at Yoyogi national gymnasium.

That was a lucky break for the American it sounds like.
