So much excitement at the Colorado Springs Invitational competition!
In case you haven’t heard by now, Brandon Mroz landed a quad Lutz at the 2011 Colorado Springs Invitational, a U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned nonqualifying competition. Click Here to SEE the You Tube Video by Local Motion Production Inc.
As if that wasn’t enough excitement, thanks to our friend Bonnie Gilles who stopped by to say “Hi” we were able to meet her son Todd Gilles and had the pleasure of meeting Olympian Emily Samuelson, who recently announced their newly formed partnership. They are going to train in Ann Arbor, Michigan, coached by Nechaeva and Chesnichenko. We wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them Dance in the future, Good Luck and stay in touch!
I want to thank Lisa Landon, with Centennial Skating Club for inviting us back again this year! We had a great time and want to thank all of the members and volunteers for welcoming us and taking great care of us as always! We hope this was a successful competition for you as well! I would also like to thank Will and his staff at the Sertich Ice Rink for all the hard work they do and making us feel at home.
In addition to all the skating, The Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial service was held on Saturday, September 17 in Memorial Park in front of the Sertich Ice Arena. Representatives of 87 fire departments from the U.S. and Canada presented flags to family members of firefighters who have died this past year. It was something to see, from all the people and the procession of fire trucks and motorcycles that followed the fire truck to the memorial.
Where are we off to next? We were invited to the Pikes Peak Classic for Pairs and Dance and The National Solo Dance Competition, to be held in Colorado Springs, hosted by the Broadmoor Skating Club, September 23-25, 2011. If you are going to be there please stop by and say “Hi”.
