Wow about AO...how does this impact his standings for the year? It's interesting that they don't have their 'old' skate to fall back on. Or maybe there's something else behind it. But great exposure and more experience for JR and Anthony!

I suspect Apolo doesn't want to risk an injury with Worlds coming up. He wants to be in peak condition to defend his title. He has bucket loads of World Cup medals. I don't blame him. Good on Anthony  SusanG |

Good on Anthony SusanG I agree. Thanks for the info, aao2010 -- interesting news. That's so cool that JR will be anchoring the relay. If I had all kinds of money, I'd hit the road with the team.  But on my schoolmarm's income, it's Cyberscoreboard for me for the next two weekends. I'll be in and out. |

Is Ahn aiming to make the World Championships this year? I doubt it. He was still trying to make the national team again at the beginning of January. |

It looks like they changed the start time on us.
10:40 am Bulgaria works out to 12:40 Pacific time according to my time converter (groan)

Hi Everyone; thanks for the clarification of the times...It is now 11:40 p.m. Pacific time and I don't know if I"ll be able to stay awake for the 12:40 pacific time start. At least now I know that it isn't my computer...Hi to everyone...I'll likely be in and out this weekend and next but I'll stop by when I can. Happy New Year everyone!  Here we go again. Will miss Apolo but glad to see Anthony get another chance. Do you think Apolo will be there next weekend? Musical Mom |
