They used to show ice skating on the box, but hardly ever now.

I reckon it will be dead soon, there aint no Torville and Dean these days.

Also it is well known to be fixed, taht's why there aint no British chamions.

DerekTrotter - You're obviously not living in Japan then? Ice skating is on a hell of a lot at the moment here. Also I think your last line is meant to read "There ain't no decent British ice skaters, that's why there ain't no British champions".

Go Yukari Nakano! I really want to see her win. There's been a known rumor that she often gets shafted by judges because she doesn't get the sponsors like Mao and Miki Ando do. But I really like her style. Unlike Miki Ando (who is just a crybaby), Nakano goes out there and fights, and never cries. She even has a much better smile when skating, than the lost look I see on Ando's face, or sometimes perplexed look of Mao's. And to add, Nakano has the most awesome donut spin I have ever seen. Go Nakano!
