MIKE I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ATTENDING THE 2009
U.S. FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS FROM JANUARY
18TH-25TH. SKATING AND GYMNASTICS ARE TWO OF
THE OLYMPICS SPOTLIGHT SPORTS. WHILE THERE ARE
A LOT OF SIMILARITIES, WE REALLY ENJOYED THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO ATHLETIC
CULTURES. THE ICE SKATING COMMUNITY PROVIDED US
WITH A VERY CLASSY WARM WELCOME!

AS USUAL, JOHNNY WEIR PROVIDED US WITH
ENTERTAINMENT, EMOTION, ATHLETICISM WITH A
DASH OF DRAMA

THEIR PAST CHAMPIONS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
LASTING IMPRESSIONS I TOOK AWAY FROM ATTENDING
THEIR U.S. CHAMPIONSHIPS
