Loved Scott and his skating
@cowboy sam When I went to college in northern Ohio, I worked in the cafeteria with Scott Hamilton's sister and she looked a lot like him. Scott was just getting going then as far as competitions & such. I don't remember his sister's name, but I do remember her telling me that she could not afford to have a land line phone at home. She was married with kids.
Edited to add : Sue - I remembered Scott's sister's name is Sue.

If I'm not mistaken, I do believe Scott Hamilton is the 1st & only skater who can do a FRONT flip on ice skates.
=======================================
Last night I watched a little female ice skating. There was this young girl 16 yrs old. She wore a black cat suit & skated to Christina Aguilera. The commentator mentioned that he & the 16 yr old are the only competing & retired skaters in the world (that he knows of) turns RIGHT on skats naturally. All other skaters turn from the left.

Watched the men's short program .. tuned in just in time. Nathan Chen has really improved and I enjoyed watching him today.
Saw the 3 women who made the USA Olympic team being presented.
I'm looking forward to watching Shomo Una and the young woman Russian Valieva...she is nothing short of gifted.

Didn't Scott Hamilton do a BACKFLIP? I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and great skill.

I can barely hear the music. If I turn it up to hear the music Johnny & Tara are too loud. Ruins it for me. They're skating to music, not commentating.

I have noticed that also and its not our tvs...they have turned the back ground music down that they are skating to so we can barely hear it! Booo!!!But did did Hear Starry,Stary night or is it Vincent?
Its about the skaters& music i want to see and hear!They need to wait until afterwards to make comments!
But i do dislike odd music playing on some tv shows when people are talking and muscic has nothing to do where or what they are doing!

I agree! I complained rather publicly about two years ago; then didb't watch. It just turned me off.
Started watching the figure skating again a couple of days ago and those two were obviously quiet during the performances. Now they are back to hearing themselves BLAB during and destroying all of it, at least for me.
Sometimes I wonder if these girls really resent their chosen field? It would be difficult continuing to put in the hours if one wasn't really determined.
