It seems that skating is slipping even further into oblivion in the US, did they make any money?? - also I had to laugh how much the skaters were earning - seems peanuts to me when you compare it to GOLF and TENNIS.Russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36778065.post-91607723393094454892011-10-27T09:31:43.227-04:002011-10-27T09:31:43.227-04:00Hi Tony, glad to see you back,<br /><br />I thought the technical specialist in the ladies event was slightly harsh particularly on Joshi Helgesson, but i did notice she was short on 3 triples, in particular her triple toe (i think!!)<br /><br /> I was glad Viktoria Helgesson won the bronze, her overall skating is delightful and as you say finally was awarded in the PCS.<br /><br />Hope you can start a skating music project again for this season. Carolina&#39;s programs are delightful (i thought last years ones would be hard to beat). I am sure her SP to allegretto is by Eroica Trio, not sure on Mozart LP. If you were looking for Makarova&#39;s short it was Maria and the violin&#39;s string by Ashram. Like you her M Monroe take on LP was dreadful, the cuts of music not good, I think she has an arrangement as part 2 (probably Mr goldstein) and has the 20th century fox intro (eeek!!)Russellnoreply@blogger.com
