US Figure Skating Championships

Last weekend a friend invited me to go to the US Women's Figure Skating Championship in Spokane. We had a wonderful time watching the Olympic hopefuls and listening to the people in the audience...I had no idea there was such an odd subculture of skating people. They were very entertaining. Anyway...

Here we are at the arena


And the winner is Rachel Flatt!! (Love the cute little kids skating around and picking up the flowers and gifts thrown on the ice!)




And here are the top four finishers. Nice skating, ladies!!


And of course there are a couple of skating celebs.
The blond is Tara Lipinski...I couldn't quite get a good shot so you'll just have to take my word for it.


And Kristi Yamaguchi!



Now it's on to the Olympics! :)

I had NO idea that you went to this! Geez. Argentina, then this, and now the Bahamas!!! Such a jet setter. Anyways, I too, love skating and watched all two hours on my couch sat. night. My seat wasn't as good as yours, but I loved it no less. (still bummed about Sasha C. though)

Yeah I was a little bummed Sasha didn't place highter. Although based on some opinions of our neighbors, it isn't likely any of the US ladies will see the medal podium in Vancouver.
