Yes., I a an ex figure skater (750,000 lbs ago )
The sport does not have the draw that it did back in the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding days, but I still watch EVERY event.
& this year, our dance champs gave me chill bumps (my barometer for a good performance)
They are the 1st US team to ever win world gold, a honor previously dominated by the Russians. (OK, they are coached by Russians)
Anyway, here is a link.

I love how she is SOOO delicate, & he has this mop of blonde hair.. Such a contrast, & so appealing..to me anyway.
(& such a contrast to Sunday's upcoming event  ) |

Besides being an NFL watcher, and lover of the sport, I also watch figure skating. I remember watching the days of Kerrigan and Harding. I remember the news about Harding having Kerrigan hurt some kind of way. Thanks for the link.

Well, I guess I'll go ahead and show my age here. I remember watching Peggy Fleming when I was a little girl. I've been watching figure skating ever since. My folks loved the winter sports and Olympics and it rubbed off on me.

We must be around the same age. I started skating after being inspired by Peggy Fleming.
She still looks great. |

Lisa,
I used to do figure skating, too. Still love to watch it whenever I can (which isn't often). DD and I used to skate together until she had a bad skating accident two years ago. Don't go anymore after that.
Saw Peggy Fleming on tv the other day when she was honored. She is still amazing!

I watched the dance competition the other day (well par to fit anyway) and it was awesome! I've not heard of icedance before. I've enjoyed watching figure skating since I was itty bitty--my mom used to like to watch it anytime it was on--that and the ballroom dance competition on PBS.
