Thanks for the article | ||
Just read the article. Thought it was really cool that from
the author's view Johnny is listed as the first National Champion. Both Johnny and Evan's names are there, but it was so nice to see Johnny listed
first after the lead in to the phrase National Champion.
It also seemed quite definite that NBC will be doing live coverage, but ESPN will be taping the event for later programing. And it sounds as if the whole
city is in the mood of welcoming the athletes with open arms and as much of the red carpet as possible. Very nice.

Actually, I think "reigning US champion" refers to Mirai Nagasu. For some reason, neither Johnny or Evan have that distinction!
"Americans Rachael Flatt, the world junior champion, Mirai Nagasu, reigning U.S. champion, Johnny Weir, Evan Lysacek, and five-time U.S. champion ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto will be competing." It does look like they are calling Johnny the US champion....ah well, in my mind, he is.

I was surfing through the digital channels and there it was, "Skate America, Mens Short and Pairs LIVE Friday 10:00pm"! What luck! I was going to order the box and have it delivered in early November, but I instead rode 45 minutes each way on a motor scooter in 40-something degree weather to get the box from the closest store last night. Universal Sports is an NBC channel that is available in limited markets through your cable company or for free if you get digital television through your rabbit ears (or the converter box). Here is where you can get Universal Sports. La'Tisha
