Emily Hughes came to my rink!

[Sk8erChick310]

She came to my rink to work with one of the coaches! She looks a lot like her sister, and she skates exactly like her! She is really nice too! She has a 2 Axel, 3 Sal, 3 Toe, and I think a 3 Loop. I think she can cheat 3 Flip and 3 Lutz. She's really good! :)

[danibellerika]

that's cool!

[Always_Sasha]

That's so cool, although I bet she would be an awesome skater, Sarah has probably helped her alot.

[GreekGoddess85]

wow thats great :)
Is she a senior?

[Ashley]

No she is a Junior

[blondeanglskate]

thats awesome!! :D did you get 2 talk to her?? it sounds like shes really great! will she be at junior nats this year?? and does anyone know why shes not on the usfsa team envelopes?

[icesk8rchiq]

she competed at my rink last week and she won the junior competition. she did all of her triples (including lutz), but messed up on the flip. she was awesome and her dress was sooo pretty!!

[blondeanglskate]

what competition was it ... sorry im a little behind :lol:

[icesk8rchiq]

It was the 76th Annual Middle Atlantic Figure Skating Championships hosted by the Skating Club of New York... it's the oldest competition in the entire country.

icesk8rchiq - I was there on all 4 days at Middle Atlantic (evenings on 1st two of those days) - yikes, small world! :D

[Always_Sasha]

*sigh* I'm so jealous!! You go to everything!!!!!!!

[CartDi]

Speaking of Emily Hughes, I was at the library the other day and I saw this book called "I Am A Skater" and it just looked like some random young girl who was a skater... I picked it up to look at because I thought the girl looked a lot like Sarah Hughes and I was curious... but yeah, it was Emily, and the book had a lot of pictures of her practicing, with her family, and with skaters at COI. I have no idea when this book came out, but it probably isn't that recent because they referred to Sarah as a "world-class skater" but not "olympic champion".

[GreekGoddess85]

wow thats so cool :)
I hope Emily has as much success as Sarah :)

[sk8ing_lady2001]

Yes, I agree. Lots of good luck goes to the sisters, Emily and Sarah, from me. :)

[GreekGoddess85]

I don't think Emily works with Robin Wagner, who coaches and choreographs for her?

According to Louis...

http://home.earthlink.net/~louis17/02midatlantics.html

Her coach is Bonni Retzkin.

[Ashley]

Never heard of her! lol It's gonna be like Robin - no one knew who she was either until Sarah became a major senior level skater!

[Always_Sasha]

Maybe, but I bet that she might become a world class skater too someday :)

[icesk8rchiq]

At Middle Atlantics she had this little "posse" hovering around her. All these platinum blonde women in bright blue coats.. I guess her coach(es)... very strange though.. hmm *shrugs* Ohhhhhh well~! Best get back to "The Scarlet Letter".. or not... heh heh *evil laugh*:twisted:

Which event? ;)

You all gotta tell me who to look out for and which event next time! I'll be at Regionals only a little bit, so I'm not sure if I'll get to see either of you skate (Sashastar917 - doing regionals?). :(

[Ashley]

Is there anything you don't go to? lol

You could say I have no interest in attending Skate America this year. :p

[Sashastar917]

I competed preliminary at mids, but I do't remember what letter group cause I have absolutley no memory for those kinds of things. I was supposed to go to regionals, but then I switched rinks and coaches and I didn't have time to test and get a new program and all that. But I may be going just to watch my friends compete, though.

Well, that's just because you have no interest. That doesn't count! lol If you had interest, you'd go, huh?

I won't be at Lalique :cry: or Cup of Russia either. :cry:

There are you happy now, that I'm in tears? :cry:

[Ashley]

Sorry!!!!! *puppy dog face*

Are you coming to anything on this side of the country anytime soon?

No. :(

And Skate America will be in Reading, PA for 2003 - I'll likely go for that too. ;)

I'll just have to see you in 2005! I sure hope Dustin drags himself to Atlanta somehow for 2004 US Nationals.

[Ashley]

He'll probably be competing!!!

[Always_Sasha]

Probably, but I still cn't go cuz the Canadian dollaris so low, it would cost a fourtune :(

[Ashley]

Yeah the exchange difference it a lot!

[Always_Sasha]

Yeah, but our band is driving to California and staying for eight days for like 700 dollars canadian each. That's pretty good. :D

[Ashley]

Wow I wish we could do something like that here! How much is that in US dollars?

[icesk8rchiq]

When I went to Canada to visit family, people were always making fun of the currency change! Hee, hee!
