RINKSIDE - FRIDAY


Me and Chris rinkside at World Figure Skating Championships here in Gothenburg. Friday is Short Programe for Men - we're on in an hour and ten the final of the Ice Dance tonight with the Free Dance which will be exciting.

I'm loving being here at World', first time for ages and the perspective on the level of skating you get from being rinkside is brilliant. Ladies final was full of drama last night and Chris called it superbly.

Having fun with Chris and we are getting loads fo feedback into our messageboard from all over the world.

Walked through the snow to get here! Didn't expect that in March. 

Enjoy the viewing on Eurosport today.

Love

Saw the Ladies yesterday, I think BBC2 Highlights are a day behind. My fave was Yu-Na Kim. Dance today (hooray!) at 1pm. Havent watched a competition for years. The new way of scoring makes them focus much more on technical. Lets hope the Dance is different. Wonder if Chris (Dean) has trained any of them?

Weeee! Its snowing hard in Sussex!
I just watched the Worlds Dance comp. My faves were the USA and Canadians. I dont like it when the dances are too fast and furious, it makes them seem 'messy', I prefer lyrical and flowing.
Back to DOI - who invented the Snakecharmer - was it from T&D's Song of India, or was it around before that?

We've watched all the World's this week- incredible! You and Chris seem to be having such a great time there, we really enjoy your comments (especially the ones that make us laugh!... was it Chris who wanted to sell your seat to see the World Dance competition? :P). Keep it up, and congratulations for your new family!! Random question, will Tiger also be an ice skater?

Hi Nicky,

It'd be hugely appreciated if you'd have a look at this page, and possibly link to it on your site?

Hi Nicky,

A quick line to say enjoyed your commentary for world championships. Great skating to!
Going to see your show in May but here you may have a new partner - any clue to who it is?
Keep up the great work
