If you’re here, maryb, Zhang and Zhang are the pair that had the horrific fall at the Olympics. Pang and Tong are the older pair who skated to music from Phantom of the Opera.
It makes me nervous, but it does look cool when the guys land it. No pairs have ever done a throw quad, but I really thought the Chinese pair would land it at the Olympics. After that fall, though, I don’t know if she’s gonna try it again. But you know how it is — once one does it everyone starts trying.
I was watching when they fell. I really could not believe they went back out on the rink and finished, let alone end up with a silver. The determination of these Olympians just amazes me.
They usually go between the international competitive season, which is just ending with this world championships. It doesn’t start again till next … November? Anyway, the shows will be over the spring and summer. I think they have sites — Stars on Ice and Champions on Ice are the two big ones.
Looks like Champions are coming to MPLS 6/30 which would be the closest. Last time one of those two groups came to Fargo, so hopefully the schedule is not yet complete.
Thanks for the warning on the music. That’d have woke the dead if I’d a had it turned up to the usual level.
You’re welcome! Yeah, that music sure the hell woke me up!
Have you ever been to one of those things? I went once for my birthday and loved it. Some of the skaters are really charismatic performers in person. They’ve got that certain something that doesn’t come through on a tv.
I hate when that happens. I hope you have some good books to read or maybe something on tv? I’d keep you company, but I’m beat. I’m just about to turn in for the night.

ooh yeah
the horrible fall. They came in second?
Yeah, and they’d only been back on the ice for a week. She’s been recovering. They didn’t attempt the quad throw.
too bad, I love the quad

I was stunned. It’s one of the worst falls I’ve ever seen in competition. I couldn’t believe it when they skated the rest either.
When do the skaters go on tour around the country, next winter?

Here’s the Stars on Ice site, and here’s Champions on Ice (beware of stupid music). Looks like they have a tour starting now.

Good night all
see you tomorrow
Sleep well!
Sheeesh. Remind me not to try a production print job with a cheapo printer. I’ll be at this for some time…
I hope it goes okay — are you gonna end up being up all night?
Could be. These are invitations to a client event, and they need to get out, well, pretty much tomorrow.
I hate when that happens. I hope you have some good books to read or maybe something on tv? I’d keep you company, but I’m beat. I’m just about to turn in for the night.
I hope the job goes more quickly than you think.
Thanks. Unfortunately, it’s a pretty hands-on operation, so TV and books are no help. Just taking a quick break. G’night, izzy.
Goodnight everyone. It’s been a wunnerful day!
