In studying the Twitter postings of some of the sport’s Vancouver-bound athletes over the past several days, I happened upon this one from current National champ (and, as it turns out, frequent Tweeter) Jeremy Abbott:
Skates, check! Costumes, check! Music, check! Passport, check! Kick ass winning attitude, HUGE check!
Which has inspired me to create my own…
STATE OF THE SKATE OLYMPICS CHECKLIST!
+RSS Subscription link: check! I think
+Widget that takes you to the NBC Olympics page: check! Though I don’t know how to size it better… sorry
+ Skating TV schedule rundown: coming soon
+ Place on here to find out more about my postcard club: also coming soon
+ Place on here to talk about my forthcoming skating-related book (!): ALSO coming soon
OK, back to things we can definitively check off…
+ Link to misleading skating-related headline of the day: Check! (hint: the headline reads We need more scandals: Figure Skater (Jamie) Sale)
+ Link to judging-is-controversial headline of the day: Check!
+ Link to token Plushenko-is-king headline: Check!
+ Link to token Skating-Ratings-are-Toast headline: Check… (and, sigh)
+ Link to Sasha Cohen’s U.S. Ladies-are-Toast headline: Check!
+ Finally, the one you scrolled down for: HotDogWars! (Yes, it’s figure skating related) CHECK!!
Are you ready for the next 2 weeks?!
Stay tuned for predictions, speculations, Twitterwatch, and much, much more!
