Catch Kimmie on TV Next Friday!
Friday, December 25th, 2009Time for US National Championships!
Friday, January 23rd, 2009With early action from Cleveland being aired on Universal Sports Wednesday and Thursday, you can get a taste of the 2009 Championships.
The main event will be shown on Saturday at 9PM (ET) on NBC. As you probably know, Kimmie will not be competing for one of the 2 spots on the World Championship team. She had to withdraw because of a hip injury.
Also, keep in mind that, due to the ladies’ individual finishes at the 2008 World Champs, Team USA only earned two spots instead of the 3 they are used to.
I love figure skating and am still very much looking forward to the young’uns battling for the title of National Champion. Good luck to them all!
