Trixie May Make a Run at Olympic Gold.


With her natural flexibility and her talent in dance, Trixie found that ice skating was a great sport for her. Having studied ballet and tap as a child, she had a good foundation for her move to the ice.

Following are a few shots taken during a costumed rehearsal. Whether this is the costume she'll choose remains to be seen, but it's a cinch that those perfect moves will stay!

Ice Dancing -- No dolls were harmed ... much.


The champions of the Semi-Grand Nationals, Veroushka Vynaldolvia and Skatemondsly Studdolinsky, seemed on top of their game as he helped lace on her skates.
















































They skated onto the ice with the cheers of the crowd ringing in their ears!















































It looked like another easy win for this seasoned pair as they wowed the crowd with their dancing.
















































It might have been a perfect routine if, just as they got to that tricky lift, Kristi Yamagouchi hadn't chosen that moment to wave at Skatemondsly from the stands.















































DISASTER!!















































It still might have been alright if, backstage, Skate had not said to Verushka, "It's not my fault if you put on a bit of weight this summer."

























































































And so .... another great pair bites the dust. ... Or ice ... whatever.
