<br>
There was an interesting article in the NYT in the science section about how scientists are trying to make the sport of skating safer.  Here&#39;s the link:

A small video of Elena&#39;s baby at one of the Russian shows she is skating is at present. It is funny how he wants to step on ice by himself!

This is a recent program Evgeny skated the end of last October from Russian tv. It is a classic Evgeny program. The violinist, whose name is Edvin Marton, (I
finally found out his name <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif" alt="image"> ) is at centre ice playing his violin. I enjoyed watching
it.

This is a Russian interview with Elena from the end of last September. It shows what she looks like now with her hair down long. Vash, you will be happy to
know she has changed her hair style. A poster says she says if Evgeny wants to compete in 2010, he must start training and preparing now without cameras and
show business to achieve... ]]></description>

Elena and John have recently decided to skate together for awhile because both their partners are taking a break from skating. This is one of their programs
posted on you-tube from a show in Europe/Russia. Considering they are new to skating together, this is not bad.. It&#39;s much superior to her skating with
Steven. The violinist Evgeny... ]]></description>

training and &quot;was trying to get into Olympic shape and we&#39;ll see.&quot;

<br>
This is Michelle&#39;s last chance to go to the Olympics. I think she is 27/28 years old.  I wonder if this means she could take part in the GP next fall in
preparation for 2010. Also, I wonder if her technical skills will be up to the same level... ]]></description>

a secret agreement to provide a completion guarantee for the Olympic Village in 2007. Now the company building the village wants $450 million from the city to
complete the project. The present mayor says that the city is on the hook legally, but will try to re-negotiate the terms of the agreement. Many people

things should be better in the future. She is still skating every day because she enjoys it, but does not feel the need to compete anymore and is happy with

from France. The highlights of the show were the programs from Sasha Cohen and Evgeny Plushenko. Their programs were well skated and they both did encore
performances. I had wondered what happened to Sasha as I haven&#39;t heard anything about her for awhile, so it was nice to see her skate. My general

them, like he did with T&amp;M.

Somehow I just don&#39;t like Kawaguchi-Smirnov that much. They are sort of OK.

I heard that Ushakova-Karev have split.

We won&#39;t see Bazarova-Larianov for at least two years because he failed the drug test. They were the only young Russian pair I liked.
