This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.
I got an email with Bev Smith's article in it this morning, and it was very welcomed news. Well Katelyn made the top 10 didn't she?! That should mean we get to send 3 skaters next year.
If memory serves, she's a Newfoundland girl too, isn't she. Also quite a feather in Ravi Wallia's cap, to have coached a world champion. Karen Magnussen is said to be overjoyed at passing on the torch after 44 years.
What a great skate by Katelyn. Well deserved!

I created a separate thread about Karen "passing the torch", Fred
The placements of Kaetlyn + Gabby (1 + 7 = 8) indeed means that Canada gets to send 3 women next year
Kaetlyn is from Marystown, NF where there is an arena and a street named after her - will they rename the town next
Some people talk about her as the "girl who trains in a shopping mall" - big congratulations to Kaetlyn, her coach Ravi, and her choreographers (Lance Vipond for SP & Jeffrey Buttle for the FS)!!!
