What's up, Barb?
Also, do they make the ladies or men do compulsories anymore?
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Nope. Got rid of that around 2000 or so. I think 2002 was the first Olympics without them, but it might have been 1998.

OK, wikipedia says compulsaries were eliminated from competition in 1990. I could swear I remembered them lasting longer than that.

They had a "piece" about it and how current figure skating is not as technical without the school figures.
I remember tracing figures long, long ago. Tedious, but I did learn a lot from it.

They used to show them, too, didn't they? Or am I remembering skating movies?

Oh, and earlier today, they had a "piece" about how the winter games involve lots of waiting. Seriously. Someone got paid to talk about how the skaters and such have to wait to see if they won or not.

Yeah. I kinda liked it, actually. It required precision, and precision was something I could do, much more than I could do speed or strength.
And now that I think about it, I definitely remember figures in competition in at least 1993, but that was ISIA, not USFSA.

They'd usually show them at weird times, not during the prime time broadcast.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and I would have bought it but I'm a wreck when it comes to mailing things.
Oooh, I am Kat. Which reminds me, I mailed things yesterday! So if you were expecting something from me, I might have mailed it. Unless you are Perkins, or Trudy, or my parents or Netflix. So mostly just Kat. Um... I fail at postal.

I still have not baked cookies. I have a daughter who swears I promised to send her some home baked cookies. So I fail at baking and postal. Maybe Thursday.
eta - I apparently also fail at typing.
