After that time away there still a certain elegance Sasha brings to the
table these other "girls" don't have. Well done tonight.

She will need a triple-triple in that short at the Olympics. I know
she has been practicing the 3-lz-3Toe at the practices this week, can
anyone tell me if she has been consistently landing them. though she
still has 4 week until the olympics.

And probably two triple-triples in the long: so for the long 3-lz-3Toe
and 3 sal-3 toe, or perhaps a 3- sal half loop -3 sal ( yeah, I know,
not really a combination).

And I would like to see a new move in the long...a new
spin...something new, or old brought back like when Kwan brought back
the Charlotte. She needs to give the Judges something besides the
old. Hmm wonder is she is working on that quad sal.


This group has really gotten quiet in recent years, hard to believe
U.S. nationals are going on.

It's because the trolls took over this newsgroup and drove all of the
fans to website-based forums that can be controlled. It wasn't the
first newsgroup where this happened, and it won't be the last.

Yes, it was such a shame. Those web based ones will never be as
lively and open as this one was. but it was it's undoing.
Still, it isn't as bad as some ones I've been on. Pet newsgroups are
particularly bad, because everyone thinks they are
experts on pets! And I swear, there are some prison inmates on
those. Charles Manson, maybe?

I believe that AOL (and other ISPs) ditching newsgroups was the main kiss of
death. It meant people had to pay third parties for access to usenet, and most
couldn't be bothered when they could go to web-based forums for free.

There were only a handful of trolls, and Chuckie mainly confined himself to
his own fantasy alt.skate.figure group.
