On the other hand, I say, we make missiles And blocked Yenisei river And also in the field of ballet We are ahead of the entire planet. Yu. Vizbor "The Story of technologist Petukhov"
Photo: www.loshadi.ruA few days ago, the site of the International Skating Union published the list of participants for each of the ISU Grand Prix events. Grand Prix is like racing horses before the horseracing World championships, where the composition of each race is put together very carefully.

http://ptichkafs.livejournal.com/31342.htmlLike always, the usual disclaimers regarding this journalist apply. In particular, this interpreter does not necessarily share Mr. Werner's opinion about the outward appearance of female ice dancers, and certainly has some strong disagreements with him regarding the direction of men skating in general and the results of this particular championships in particular.

The World FigureSkating Championships 2007 in Tokio began with 2 surprises: a nice one and an expected one. The nice one was the blossom of the Japanese cherry – Sakura – one of the Japanese national symbols. The expected – ISU President Ottavio Cinquanta admitting that without a new contract with a TV company the Worlds 2009 might be cancelled due to the lack of funding.
About a year before the Salt-Lake City Olympics I wrote that after USSR disintegration International Skating Union was joined by newly created figure skating federations or becoming independent Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The French event of the Grand Prix ISU (International Skating Union) series is traditionally considered one of the most interesting competitions of the Old World. It’s here, as opposed to the German Gelsenkirchen that the best duelists of the World figure skating cross blades. And, even though this sport sees progressively fewer bright individual, and progressively more cloned jumping beans, Paris is still worth a mass, or any other service. I guess that’s why I, having for the first time in more than two decades missed the Oberstdorf competitions, still decided to visit the “Bercy” palace, as well as all that the French have built up around it. Excluding the Eiffel tower, Place de la Concorde, Vendome column, and other such Parisian tourist attractions. I’ve already seen those.
October 7 through 10, the former German Democratic Republic figure skating capital Carl- Marx-Stadt hosted an ISU Junior Grand Prix event. Though, since the unification of two unequal halves of Germany, the resultant country became poorer in both money and talent. Many cities lost their names. So, the city of the Discoverer of Traveling Ghost* got its old name, Chemnitz. Though in exchange they got big malls and hotels where one can eat without disgust, wash with water with no rust, and sleep without roaches or bedbugs.
The Salt-Lake-City Olympic season had finished, and it gave start to the Turin Olympic season. The Games in the USA couldn't be anything but the biggest, the most expensive and actually the "-est-est": the prestige of a country as the Super-power obliged (as well as the Moscow Olympics organizers 22 years ago). In some way they became that: for a long time the world hasn't known such scandals, that occurred in the capital of mormons' state.
So the Olympics ice-dancing competition has finished. One wants to hope, that the war, declared by the North-American press to the whole other sports world will also finally finish. It's truly said that even in the democratic countries the mood of mass media always follows the mood of the politicians. After all, editors of magazines and newspapers, and TV-channels bosses as a rule are people close to the circle of "the strongest of this world".
by Arthur Werner (translated from the Arab: If there is Allah's will) ForewordIt's not with malice, but with regret that I was writing about my heroine. While gathering material for this story, I had to listen to many an unpleasant details about this woman, whose pretty look seem to hide her real face shown here. But this is what the critic's job is like. His job is like that of the traffic policeman who has to fine violators to prevent them from getting a sense of impunity and posing a serious danger for other motorists and pedestrians.
A new winter sports season is beginning, and of all the winter sports, figure skating worries me more than any other. Considerable changes have recently taken place in the Figure Skating Federation of Russia which negate the entire process of revival of this fine sport.
